lichtie23 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The Seattle Seahawks meet the New England Patriots In Glendale, Arizona as it's time for Super Bowl 49. After an astonishing comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game the Seahawks are going to their 2nd straight Super Bowl and 3rd overall. Last year in New York the Seahawks embarrassed the Denver Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl 48. The Seahawks are the NFC number 1 seed and they won the NFC west with a 12-4 record. Seattle are loaded with talent that includes pro bowlers Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman. Head coach Pete Carroll has been with the Seahawks since 2010. The Patriots are playing in their 8th Super Bowl in team history and are 3 time champions. Future hall of famers Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are looking for their 4th win in the big game. The Patriots were last in a SuperBowl in 2012 when losing to the Giants. The Patriots are the AFC number one seed after winning the AFC East with a 12-4 record. In the playoffs they have recorded home wins over the Ravens and Colts. Can the Seahawks go back to back or will Brady and Belichick cement their legacy as the best QB/coach double act in NFL history? This should be an absolute cracker.

invergowrie arab Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I hope the Patriots win. Tickets on stubhub start at $2000. An east coast super bowl I would almost be tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Absolutely hate the Pats and in particular Brady, so hoping Seattle give them a good hiding. Works out perfectly for me, Superbowl then a dinner time flight to Dublin on the Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Something about Seahawks this year I can't warm too. Anyway should be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hope Seattle do it. I can't help but love Sherman while hating a bit at the same time. Head says the Patriots will win it. I haven't watched last night's game but by all accounts they looked in devastating form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan09 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Russell Wilson will need to vastly improve for this one from his performance last night which seems to have slipped under the radar as a result of Green Bay's capitulation, can't see the Pats being as careless as the Packers.

lichtie23 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 That was Wilson's worst game as a professional and I can't see him being nearly as bad as last night. I also think the Patriots secondary isn't as good as the Packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Like others, I don't like either. Think I'll be cheering for the Sea-cocks as opposed to the cheats though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gc_smfc Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just been offered a ticket by a friend who has a season ticket but can't go, £2500. Sadly out my price range whilst between jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly out my price range whilst between jobs. Sorry to hear that mate, what an experience that would have been. But £2500 is absolutely fucking ludicrous for a single game ticket.
