Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots

For those looking for a new team to be featured or root for this isn't the superbowl for you. But there are stories to be found in this one. Two successful teams of the last two decades who finally moved on from their franchise-defining and aging coaches and QBs. One team went with a young QB while another found success with a veteran journeyman. The team with the young QB find themselves in a familiar situation from 2 decades ago - a 2nd chance coach with a 2nd year QB who ends up unexpectedly in the superbowl. And won. Can the lightening strike twice for this franchise?

Then there's the story of that veteran journeyman. A former high 1st round pick who was written off as washed. That he was seeing ghosts. Moving from team to team, his value being seen as adding another voice in the QB room and emergency backup. An unfortunate injury brought him an opportunity to start again late in his career and found success. Perhaps he's found a home, only to find himself packing again at the end of the season for yet another city. This next stop surpassed everyone's expectations as he reaches the superbowl. Will winning complete his redemption arc? Or is getting there enough for his story.

His new team has its own baggage. Of ghosts on the one yard line. And a familiar foe. will they slay their ghosts together. Or will those dark spirits triumph again come sunday evening.

Is it just me, or do all the commercials suck? That Levi's one is the only one worth noting so far...

.... Although I guess the Football Hall of Fame does look like a juicer.

Well, I've already started freaking the fuck out.

This is one he'll of a storyline for the Hawks. Think about the last few weeks. Beat the Rams to take the lead in the division. Beat the Niners to clinch the #1 seed. Beat the shit out of the Niners again. Beat the Rams again to advance to the Superbowl. Four straight wins against our biggest rivals to get here.

And then it's the Pats. Of course it's the Pats. Beating them would complete the redemption arc. Vanquish all our demons.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

As a Niners fan... you ain't gotta rub it in like that! Still rooting for the Hawks though because it's the division my team's in.

We're supposed to hate the Seahawks, but I don't. I don't really dislike any team but I don't wanna see the Pats first to 7 Super Bowls. So I'm going Hawks. Completely unrelated to my username.

I'm... umm... not sure Cupp had that with both feet in bounds.

Fuck NBC for running ICE ads. Turned it off right there and I'd encourage anyone who isn't a piece of shit to do the same.

Why does Vrabel always look like he's doing a Robert De Niro impression? "Lil' bit... lil' bit."

Pats offense needs to stay on the field and give the defense a break. Can’t keep this up all night.

Pats came out with a long pass!
