Who cares about the stupid toilet bowl?

The anti-American NATIONLESS Felon League can cry, wail, plead, kneel, beg... whatever, our entire family of former die-hard nfl fans are NEVER COMING BACK, PERIOD!

We refuse to give our support, time, energy or MONEY to an organization that LITERALLY HATES US, OUR COUNTRY, OUR MILITARY, OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, OUR TRADITIONAL AMERICAN MORALS AND VALUES, CHRISTIANS, AND WHITE MEN.

Forgedaboudit, the nationless felon league is dead! Everyone in the organization from the commissioner, to the owners, the managers, the staff: THEY KILLED IT, THEY STRANGLED IT TO DEATH WITH THEIR OWN SJW, ONLY BLM, PC Pink, anti-American HANDS.

As for the so-called "Patriots", who cares? The anti-American New England Turncoats lost us forever as fans when Kraft, on behalf of the whole organization, on OFFICIAL NE Pats letterhead wrote a letter stating the organization supported the goals and objectives of the filthy, black-racist Only Black Lives Matter movement, and then went on to fly, free of charge, rabid Only Black Lives Matter protesters to Washington DC to protest against "Whitey" and law-enforcement using the official New England Turncoats personal jet!

*Note: We have lived in New England and our entire family had been Pats fans for decades, for those here on FR who seek to deny this event took place, it is a matter of public record and, Bob Kraft's despicable move to publicly invite, and use the "Patriots" private team jet, to fly these anarchist, anti-American, anti-law enforcement maggots to DC to protest in favor of ONLY Black Lives Matter, and then back again on the "Patriots" team jet FOR FREE, at the team's expense, widely reported and praised by numerous news organizations throughout New England.

The Anti-American NATIONLESS Felon League, including the New England Turncoats can rot!

One more thing, gutless Tom Brady doesn't even have the stones or decency to go to the White House to meet with President Trump after being invited, the guy's a coward, cowed by his liberal wife.

Like I said; Who cares? All these loosers in the nationless felon lleague really care about is taking your money while they spit in your face and urinate on the country, nothing more.

I don’t have a good guess at final score, but I take the Patriots.

Re: Ram vs Pats

I cannot stand New England and have zero feeling for the Rams, so while I would rather have LA win than the Pattycheaters, I have this terrible pain deep in my large intestine that it will be Tom Boy sans MAGA Hat that gets his 6th ring--

I hate to say it, but Patriots. The Rams are explosive but when they face a good team they almost always fall short. Let’s face it, they fell short last week if two things didn’t happen: Sean Payton threw the ball at the end of the 4th quarter rather than running the ball and killing the clock giving the Rams a chance to come back, and then the refs bailed them out of a certain loss. Another “Rams destroy mediocre teams but struggle against good teams” story. The Patriots are a good team.

Heat wave coming to CHI this weekend. And to CT.
No winter weather in the 14 day forecast.

Boise, high temps in Feb.
Cheyenne high temps, too. But 15 mph winds. I can see why the Denver folks don’t move there to escape the Left. Boise has better climate

Here’s my take...

The Rams’ #3 ranking in the NFL for net scoring makes them the favorite over the #5 Pats.

However, in order to win, the Rams ware going to have to do what NFL playoff teams rarely do - run the ball at least as much if not more than pass. So the Rams are going to have to be more than tough, they’re going to have to be smart. They need to realize that the Pats have the 5th best pass defense in the NFL, but the 5th WORST run defense. So the Rams’ best game plan is to run the ball – a lot.

This Super Bowl, we have one top-notch offense, one strong offense, and two lousy defenses except in one category. The Rams’ offense is a juggernaut in both scoring and yardage. Their only challenge is the Pats strong pass defense. If the Rams run enough, they should win.

The Pats offense lead by a legend, is top notch in scoring (4th) which is the overriding stat. But in yardage, they are mediocre. They can be stopped. However, the Rams have a terrible defense, #20 in the NFL and the WORST run defense in the NFL. The Pats should and almost certainly will, run a balanced attack.

Whoever scores early and often and gets a significant early lead may be the key to this game. The need for the Rams to run a lot cannot be overemphasized. If the Rams use the run to establish their passing game, I think they should score early and often. However, if the Rams’ brain trust doesn’t do their homework and instead try to pass a lot, especially early, my guess is they will not score much early.

Meanwhile, the Pats have very good chances of scoring early. There’s not much to stop them. If the Rams don’t play smartball, the Pats could get a big, early lead which would put more pressure on the Rams to “just pass the ball” so they can “catch up”. But as the old joke says, if they do that, they’ll probably end up as “ketchup”.

Having said all of that, I have to make special mention of the N.E. Patriots, a truly amazing team and dynasty. A lot people seem to hate the Pats but I think it’s because of jealousy and envy – small thinking. IMO the Pats should be admired and copied as a perennial contender.

So what is it about the Pats? They may be the best sports dynasty ever. What makes the Pats perennial contenders and champions? In short, what I’ve seen is the Pats have basically incorporated the keys to the Championship 49ers of Bill Walsh – the Team of the 80’s. The reason the Niners didn’t go past the 80’s is Walsh’s weakness of being WAY too emotional and he burnt himself out early. Belichick obviously doesn’t have that problem. So what is it about the Pats?

1. The Pats have incorporated Bill Walsh’s sort-pass, ball control “West Coast Offense”.
2. The Pats put a top priority on protecting the QB.
3. The Pats, like the Niners of old, run well executed play-action fakes on almost every pass play. It is such an effective play design that freezes the linebackers and frees up the receiver. Why more teams don’t run it is a mystery to me.
4. The Pats, like the Niners of old, are smart, not just tough. Brains AND brawn. They prepare for their games by focusing on their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses and prepare a game plan that capitalizes on their opponents’ weakness.

As I said, if the Rams prepare likewise and run enough, they should win. Otherwise, probably another feather in the cap of Belichick, Brady, and the Patriots who deserve all the credit for their amazingly long-term, effective organization.

Close game and it could end up at the mercy of the sad NFL OT rules - whoever wins the coin toss wins - or hopefully not some game-changing bad ref call.
