Football Your Super Bowl Bandwagon - Why?

**Easy 6** · 01-04-2010, 08:37 PM

A simple enough premise, who is your pick to win it all & why?

I'm feeling Minnesota...

1) Favre - i dont care if you hate him, that late season physical breakdown the haters have been calling for all year is nowhere to be found. Were talking about a HOF player in a system he knows like his own momma. His arm is still 90% of what its ever been & he wants to go out on top... he'll play great ball in the playoffs. Again, a HOF QB playing the best ball of his career... that spells WIN.

2) Adrian Peterson, though he's had an off year by his standards, he still has to be respected on every single play.

3) Those WR's, whew, pick your poison... big, physical possession type with the speed to get deep enough, an Alvin Harper - Go Deep - clone & the hands down best slot man in the league who can turn any play into 6.

4) That D has talent at every position group, stuff the run, rush the passer... they have the 2 most important factors covered. Henderson may be out, but Greenway is no slouch. The only real chink they have is the secondary, minus Winfield. But with that front 4 you dont need an All-Pro backfield.

5) Add all of that up & theres no reason to doubt them IMO, the Eagles are too one dimensional, the Saints D is still suspect. The only teams capable of giving them a run IMO are Green Bay or Dallas... & Dallas? i think the Iggles get revenge on sunday anyway, so they're out.

Thats my wagon, which star are you hitching your ride to?

I hate to say it, but SD. Just a gut feeling.

They don't stand a chance. They are waaaayy to banged up to make it to the SB. Their backups have been playing well above their talent level.

I pick the Colts to win it all.

FYP.

Guess you should know about playing above their level though!

Colts, so stupid people will stop saying Brady is better than Manning.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 01-04-2010, 08:43 PM

I'd be happy with a Chargers - Packers Super Bowl.

Really, there's not an AFC team that would really bother me.

In the NFC, it's more a matter of who I hate less.

I'd be perfectly content with Green Bay or Arizona.

Dallas, Philly and New Orleans? Meh.

Minnesota? Die in a ****ing AIDS tree forest fire.

Now, it's become a chore. That team gets way too much credit - they are very vulnerable, yet no one wants to admit it. Much like New Orleans. Vastly overrated.

And we all know how their season is going to end already. Favre throwing the ball to the wrong team.

I just dont see the vulnerability, all of the skill positions are loaded to the hilt.

As for Favres penchant for pix, it hasnt been there this year, its the lowest total of his career & its easy to see why with that supporting cast, he doesnt have to 'make something happen' anymore... just let Peterson go to work & throw play-action medium to deep.

But thats your take & i can respect that... i wont get too worked up over my bandwagon team

I don't hate Favre but I now want to see him get bitch slapped out of the play-offs by Aaron Rodgers and the Packers and then see the Pack go on to win it all preferably over that prick I do hate,Peyton Manning.

That said I think this season's play-offs have the makings of some of the best ever and I agree with your take on the Vikes and also see a lot of those qualities in the Packers.

I have to give the edge to the Vikes though with the bye and playing indoors and that it's near impossible to win 3 road games but given the Packers top 10 defense,top 5 runningback,a soon to be superstar TE in Jermichael Finley and a QB who had one of the best teachers ever,I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a serious run.

Thig Lyfe · 01-04-2010, 08:43 PM

The Packers are my family's team and my #2 team, so I gotta go with them.

Id like to see Favre win it more than anyone else.

His rookie card price and auto/jersey swatches will be the hotness on ebay.

Ahhh, the 'collectibles' angle... that would serve me well as well, i've got a few Favre rooks & some other top quality cards of his.

$$$
