My choice between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots is the Broncos because it would make me sick that Robert Kraft would have a hay-day participanting in Super Bowl 60.
I'm looking forward to playing and beating Shanahan, McVay, and Vrabel coached teams, complete with the two presumptive MVP candidates one after the other. Then we can talk about who's the genius coach, and which QB we'd rather have.
This is the year we get to finally get rid of the stink that collects on you when two divisional rivals own you for at least 5 years. We’ve beaten them both in the regular season and one so far in the playoffs. Once we take down the Rams next Sunday, there will finally be a new sheriff in town. And by town I mean the NFC.
I have to fly to Palm Springs on Friday for my nephews wedding which is set for Sunday the 25th at 3:30. I can't believe this is really happening. I feel I am going to need some sort of spy gear, like a miniature Bluetooth earpiece and glasses with a screen embedded in them.
At least I will get to watch them in the Superbowl.
Williams throws an amazing game tying TD pass and then in OT throws a pass so far off the mark (for an interception) that it makes me think the only explanation was a misQ with the receiver?
It was fated to this. The Rams were still favored by many to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, even after their 5th loss. So the two best teams in the NFL will face off again for all the marbles. So far this year:
Rams 58 pts 830 yds
Seahawks 57 pts 829 yds
I think we’ve gotten progressively better and better esp due to the running game, while Rams have sorta been stumbling since that explosion against us.
Here’s why that’s good. The Bears beat themselves tonight. And they did so multiple times, by playing scared and going for it on 4th down and failing, repeatedly. Williams is amazing, but sometimes talent makes you blind. His final INT was such an example. I don’t think Seattle operates that way. And I don’t think the Rams’ D is very good. They’re beatable and they look to have regressed rather than progressed since Seattle played them in the regular season. They’re getting leakier. If the Bears had stuck with the run and forced the Rams to defend it more consistently and taken the risk out of Williams’ game (and put him in play/run action more) they would have won. Seattle can do just that.
Here’s why it’s bad. The Rams have Stafford. And when he had to be good tonight, he was. Luckily, Seattle can get pressure with a base look, which the Bears could not and Seattle is also better in base against the run. Arguably, the Rams are healthier on offense but less healthy on defense. Stafford and Nakua are why this will be a game. It won’t be like the pasting of the 9ers. I bet odds makers say it’s close to a toss-up. You have to hope, however, for Seattle weather. The Rams have now had five more quarters of softening than the Hawks; and they’ll play this game with one fewer day of rest than Seattle. They fly home now, late, adjust on Monday with all their bumps and bruises, and have to head north just a few days later. It’s not the regular season. They want revenge, but Seattle will have every motivation, not just the SB, to prove they’re better.
I’m thrilled we get a chance to beat the Rams again. We have Shanahan’s number, now it’s time to show McVey we have his number as well. I’d rather face the Pats. I think it will be a better opponent than facing a backup QB who hasn’t played in a year. Beating a Stidum led team would be anticlimactic.

I hope the Pat's win next weekend.

Soon to be the entire NFL.

Here's to running the NFC Best gauntlet to the Superbowl

Agreed, and we won’t have to listen to apologists going on all winter about how we won the SB because of a QB injury.
