Patriots / Seahawks

[Paul McGaha]

Pick a winner.

I think the Patriots. I think Bill Belichick and Tom Brady will find a way to win it.

PHM

[Scott Shepherd]

Seahawks 28-21

[Anthony Whitesell]

Patriots! IF they can keep Russel Wilson from running/rushing. During one of the Seahawk's games there was a comment their number #2 rusher for yards in the regular season was the QB Russel Wilson. I'm not sure if the Pats have the speed and adjustment on the defense to keep Wilson behind the line of scrimmage. I hope they do. Go PATS!

[Dave Zellers]

This should be a poll.

Pats! 31-24

[Paul McGaha]

This should be a poll.

Pats! 31-24

Moderators,

Can a poll be added to this thread?

PHM

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Yes.....Would you like me to do it? I believe you might be able to do it by selecting "add a poll" under "Thread tools" drop down box. If not, I will do it if you want to PM the wording to me.

[Brian Tymchak]

...Pats by 20....

[Paul McGaha]

Yes.....Would you like me to do it? I believe you might be able to do it by selecting "add a poll" under "Thread tools" drop down box. If not, I will do it if you want to PM the wording to me.

Thank you Ken, I just added the poll.

[Bill Bukovec]

I'm rooting for the Patriots because Seattle beat my beloved Packers. I was hard to watch the Packers give the game away.

[Kent A Bathurst]

THis poll is rigged. Where is the button for "Could not care less about this game"?

[Brian Tymchak]

I'm rooting for the Patriots because Seattle beat my beloved Packers. I was hard to watch the Packers give the game away.

Yes it was. My 2 fav teams - Packers and Patriots - thought I was going to get a repeat of the '97? Super Bowl... Oh well.

[Rod Sheridan]

Gee, I picked the Seahawks because there name sounded cooler than The Patriots.

Apparently I'm in the minority on this one:D

Regards, Rod.

[Brett Luna]

This poll is invalid. It lacks an option for "Beer".

[Bill McNiel]

SEAHAWKS!!!!!! BTW- the Packers didn't "give away" the NFC Crown, the HAWKS ripped it away from them. Defense and running the ball wins championships.

[David Helm]

The Patriots did not play a team with a superb defense all year. NFC plays defense; AFC plays offense. If the Patriots keep Wilson in the pocket (he actually has a very high completion percentage from the pocket) they will not be able to stop Marshawn Lynch. If they stop Lynch, they will not be able to keep Wilson in the pocket. Wilson has the 14th highest rushing yards in the league with nearly 900. I think the game will be close but I also think that Kam Chancellor and K.J.Wright will nullify the Gronk. Final score, 24-17 Seahawks.

[David Helm]

I find the poll results to be interesting. Those voting for the Patriots have obviously not seen much of the Seahawks; or they just have an Eastern bias.

[Chris Padilla]

0-0 tie so they both lose. :D

[Bruce Page]

I'm rooting for the Patriots mainly because I want the AFC to win.

[Judson Green]

I'm rooting for the Patriots because Seattle beat my beloved Packers. I was hard to watch the Packers give the game away.

That was a very sad day.

[Judson Green]

0-0 tie so they both lose. :D

+1

I'll be watching but dont care

[paul cottingham]

I am a conflicted Seahawks fan, they beat my beloved Packers in a game they didn't deserve to win. I want the Hawks to win, but if the same team that played in the conference final shows up on the field, I suspect the Pats will cream them.
however, if the Hawks defence shows up, it could be a different game.

[Brett Robson]

0-0 tie so they both lose. :D

I wholeheartedly agree!

[Chris Padilla]

I'm rooting for the Patriots mainly because I want the AFC to win.

I dislike the Patriots enough to cross conferences and support Seattle but then that leaves a bad taste, too. Remember when Seattle was in the AFC West?

UGH!!!!! :)

[Marty Gulseth]

I hive in WA state, and I want a "Like" button for Brett's BEER option.

Regards, Marty

[Jim Koepke]

THis poll is rigged. Where is the button for "Could not care less about this game"?

+1 on that!

Go Niners!

[Joe Tilson]

I voted for the Pat's just to see this stupid controversy continue about the balls being deflated. Another news media stupidity story.

[Pat Barry]

Lesser of two distasteful choices is the Patriots. Seahawks have two big strikes against them due to smarmy, cheating coach and attention seeking running back. Patriots also have the cheating coach, though not as smarmy but they do have the all american boy QB

[Mike Henderson]

There needs to be a choice of "don't care".

Mike

[Robert LaPlaca]

NY Jets fan here... I would rather be covered in honey and attacked by angry ants before I would pick the Pats, so needless to say, I voted Go Hawks.

Although as much as it pains me to say this, I think this is the most balanced Pats team in a long long time. I think the loss of Golden Tate to free agency has really hurt the Seahawks, I really do love the Seahawks defense

[Kent A Bathurst]

Wait a cotton pickin' minute!!!

I'm throwing the flag here.

I just counted 8 posts for "couldn't care less", "don't care", "beer", "both lose", etc.

Meanwhile Tom Brady and his under-inflated balls only got 7 votes so far!!

How about a little respect for us disenfranchised atheists? We don't pray at the altar of brain concussions, Belichick, and Sherman. That doesn't make us chopped liver !!

We are in 2d place at a minimum, but being the resoundingly disinterested gang that we and our fellow-travelers are, I am confident there are 10x that number that looked at the thread, saw the rigged vote options, and said "not only can't I be bothered by this stupid game, I won't waste my time commenting when they clearly wanted to exclude my vote in the first place".

And - if "Tom Brady's wife" was a 4th option, the Seahawks would not even be a close second.

[Mike Chance in Iowa]

Until the UK Top Gear guys strap an engine on the ball, we won't be watching. In our household, it's not a sport unless there is an engine involved. :-)

[Bill Orbine]

Don't like either one these two teams. Just gonna watch the commercials.

[Jebediah Eckert]

Go Patriots!

[Kent A Bathurst]

Until the UK Top Gear guys strap an engine on the ball...

:p :p

With a turbo and sequential shifter for drifting................

[Bert Kemp]

Is there any doubt who I'm rooting for.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
I am in a 100 block pool. blocks are $500 and my numbers are 7 & 7 Payoffs are huge!
If I hit I will be getting a 12 inch helical head jointer. PATRIOTS 27 seahawks 7

[Curt Harms]

History favors this. There is a saying that offense sells tickets, defense wins championships. I don't know if the rule changes favoring offense will be enough to overcome the trend.

I think that 7 and 7 would be really good numbers. Maybe the best. Good luck with that Kevin.

PHM
All it takes is a mixed extra point, a bunch of fields goals, a two point conversion, a safety,... Good luck with your 7 and 7. Does it pay every quarter?

[Malcolm Schweizer]

I do not, and will never get the whole yelling at the TV, painting your face, hoopla over a schoolyard game being played by millionaires who don't even know you exist. No thanks. I will be in the shop. By the way, where are the New England Patriots based, and do they represent the whole 13 original colonies? I never got that, but smart on them for choosing a whole region over a single city or state. More chances of getting people to yell at the TV for them that way.

[Kent A Bathurst]

....... by millionaires who don't even know you exist...
Entertainment, pure and simple. TV and movie stars make even more $$, and they don't even keep score.

College? That is the perfect business model - pay the front-line employees zilch. Shovel it all to Saban and Harbaugh, who turn a $ jillion annual profit for the corporation - er - college.

Just so you know, Seahawk quarterback is not yet a millionaire. He is still on his rookie contract which pays the league minimum.

[Stan Calow]

The Chiefs beat them both this year. I am only watching to see Katy Perry.

[Rich Riddle]

Sure a close game at half time, not play wise, but score wise......

[Shawn Pixley]

Congrats to the Patriots. But the Seahawks poor play call lost them the game they had won. A rather ugly ending. I suppose for the Patriots that this makes up for the two Superbowls they lost. Unfortunately, like the Patriots losses to the Giants, the better team did not win.

[Paul McGaha]

Congratulations Patriots!!!

Yeah Patriots. Brady GOAT, case closed.

Calling and executing plays properly under pressure is a major part of the game. They were outright beat by the better team that was able to get it done, even with seconds left and a Superbowl on the line.

[Pat Barry]

I'm happy with result but still don't quite believe Seattle's miracle catch and the subsequent bonehead decision to throw from the 1 yard line rather than let beastmode do his job.
