The main reason last time Pats lost the SuperBowl was due to an injured Gronk. Pats have everyone healthy now. I have a feeling they eat SEA alive.
Blount turned out to be a great acquisition because they will definitely need that power game as that is SEA weakness.

From my understanding Brady doesn't play as well against the press unless they get the running game goin. My guess it will be a close game or a blow out

They may be the two most hated teams, nationally.

What I don't know is the physicality of the NE offense. Can they go punch for punch with the SEA D or will they get slaughtered like Denver did? If they can out physical the SEA D than I don't see how SEA wins. I don't see how SEA can score enough points to keep up. But then, if its close at the end, How could you not believe that SEA wins it.

I think Belicheck needs to put a spy out to investigate the extent of Sherman's injury.
The absolute worst case scenario is that Sherman makes a crucial play and it turns out he's not injured. Being the cerebral warrior he <strike>likes to make people think he</strike> is, he just might think he's clever enough to play possum like Jim Brown, then suddenly make a play with the "injured" arm, and finally mouth off about Revis in the post-SuperBowl sideline interview. Keep the jock-troll quiet, Beli-cheat.

I think Pats have the edge. Seattle looked like a team that was lucky to have made it to the NFCCG, now they lucked into a Super Bowl berth. Time for them to experience the pain and sorrow of a Super Bowl loss again.

I would love to see the game go down to the last play where Brady hits Gronk for the game winning TD with no time left over Sherman...and then Gronk goes apes**t crazy screaming in Sherman's face, "YOU MAD BRO!??"

I don't see how any 49ers fan could possibly root for the Seahawks in this game. Obviously, if the 49ers were playing the Patriots I'd say F the Patriots, but we weren't good enough to get to the Super Bowl and the Seahawks were. Go Patriots, please stunt a Seahawks dynasty before it gets out of hand. Even if the Patriots win this one, and I hope they do, the Patriots of the '00s-'10s will not be above the 49ers of the '80s and '90s.

Just curious...who is the Dark Knight? Is that a nickname I should be aware of? Or just more self-adornment by that team?

Seattle strong safety Kam Chancellor on if he's the real Superman, not Carolina's Cam Newton: "He can have it. They call me Batman. I'm the Dark Knight. And I can't change in a phone booth or a closet."
