Benz Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Scared? No. Nervous? A bit. Excited, hell yes. I'm glad we're facing the Giants. It's a chance to redeem ourselves. Somewhat. A chance to avenge the season that should have been. I don't know what the outcome will be. Especially with that sloppy performance. But I will be excited to watch. Here's hoping for another title for Titletown. (null) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Knowing nothing of actual footballs, I have a system of picking games that's based entirely on the mascots and playing environment. So, in this case, we have 11 Giants vs. 11 Patriots. I'm going to be conservative with the giants, and peg them at 3 times the size of an average person, so roughly 15-18 ft tall, wielding clubs and wearing animal skins, if anything. Primary form if attack would be smashing things and throwing large objects. I imagine patriots as being soldiers from the Revolutionary War era, which means they're armed with flintlock muskets with bayonets and tri corner hats. It seems more fitting that they would be marching in formation rather than on mounts. The battlefield is Indianapolis, which is the home of the Colts. Who are baby horses. Their home would be a praire, or a pasture with long grass. Big, flat, and open. As you can imagine, the Colts rarely see victory with my system. Unless they're playing at home against someone like the Dolphins. It's all very scientific. Anyway, we have 11 dudes with muskets against 11 giants in an open field, one group on each end. Patriots would stand their ground, in formation, and fire simultaneously right off the bat, and probably drop a giant or two. Muskets quickly lose accuracy at range, so it's not like each patriot could just pop one in the eye or something. With nothing laying around to hurl, the giants are going to be rushing them. The average running speed for a normal person is about 7yds a second, so it would take roughly 17 seconds to sprint across a football field. The giants would have a greater stride, so it would take about 1/3 of that time, or about 5.7 seconds on average. It takes at least 15 seconds to reload a flintlock musket, if you're a badass. Either way, there's no time for a second round before the smashing, gnashing and tearing begins. The patriots would be relying on their bayonets, which wouldn't be overy effective. There's also no places to hide, or employ guerilla tactics which take advantage of the increased bulk of their adversaries. Now, it's possible, even likely, that the patriots would have foreseen this and organized their shots in waves, so that continous fire could be achieved, but I don't think that's going to solve the problem. Just possibly briefly delay the inevitable. So this superbowl goes to the giants. Patriots score a little, but the giants end up wrecking shop. Call your bookie.

Benz Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah, guess it's a bit much. Not everyday someone misses a FG like that. We had our share of eff ups too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathy Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I don't really care about tomorrow's Super Bowl, or should I say today's, however I am rootin for the Pats since I'm not a Giants fan. It's Brady's turn anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 What do you mean its Brady's turn. He has 3 rings, Eli has one. Hell, between him a Payton they still have less. It's Eli's turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sorry, Panch, but your girl is right. Super Bowl XLII, a game that New England still wakes up bathed in a cold sweat, screaming over. It's Brady's turn, dammit. Fuck Eli. Fuck the Giants. Most especially, fuck New York. It's time for revenge. EDIT: Damn (null) keeps showing up when I post from my phone.

Reverend Jax Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Benny's supporting the Patriots in a game against the Giants? Well, I did not foresee this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks, Benz. Panch has some Peyton idolization or something going on. He can't see very clearly. We'll see what happens today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'm just hoping Payton comes to Miami. Rootin' for the little brother might give it better juju. Can't spell elite without ELI ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I can see your thought process, Panch. Rooting for New York, however, ALWAYS brings bad juju. Suppose Eli did win *shudders in disgust*. That would put Eli at 2 Super Bowls to Peyton's 1. Clearly, Peyton is the better of the 2 brothers. But the media would start to question Peyton's ability. Peyton would let those voices in. They would cloud his thoughts. He would over-think plays, try too hard instead of throwing the pigskin with confidence. You see? Rooting for Eli and New York is bad for you. But, hey, if that's what you want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'll take Payton with cloudy thoughts, a broken neck and NO legs. Even that is better than we've had down here since Dan Marino. Sorry Benny, but I want a Superbowl more than anything in the world. If that means rooting for Eli and the Giants than so be it. Besides... there's NO possible I can root for the Patriots. That should be a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the division of joy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 They should just get bruce springsteen on a life long half time superbowl contract. Not his biggest fan but he knows how to do a live show without inviting a whole country to play spot the beaver. Feel bad for the pats, but they lost the game for themselves in some respects.
