For anyone interested in this sport, who do you reckon will reach the Superbowl and who would you rate to win it?
Have to say a lot of the interest has gone for me with the Packers exit from the play offs but I'll still be glued to the telly.
Special note for Sprintex - yeah, I know, :sleep:
San Francisco v Denver for me with Denver coming out on top (unfortunately).
From a Raiders fan who is married to a cheesehead!

Go Broncos :D been a fan since the Elway days. 'The Drive' is still lauded as one of the greatest moments in the history of football
Hi,
Not really an american football fan, prefer baseball, but thought I'd stick me oar in.
Being a San Francisco Giants fan (only place I've been to in America, 5 times) I'll be rooting for the 49 'ers.
As a betting man I'd go Seattle.
Hopefully it'll be my team the Seahawks in the superbowl but I reckon I've jinxed it as I've just booked that night off work so they probably won't bloody get there now!! :doh:
I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan so disappointed that they are out of the play-offs but great to have had something to cheer about this season.
Supported them since the 1990s when everyone at work seemed to be really into US football and I liked their red uniforms :) - remember going to loads of SuperBowl and other gridiron related parties :) :) Also remember blokes having deadly serious Sega Megadrive John Madden tournaments . . .
I would like the under-dog Seahawks v Patriots final and would love Seattle to win it. Much preferred the old Patriots and Seahawks uniforms though.
I use the forum to get away from blooming football and what do we get on here, the even worse American version.
Get's coat and runs for cover :P :angel: :dighole:

Shame they have self destructed after such a good start to the season but, to be honest, they didn't really face any serious opposition until a few weeks ago.
Packers were only ever in with a possible due to the loss of Anton Rogers for so long but I have to say I'm impressed with the Patriots and Seahawks this year

KC had some serious injury issues and the D went from No1 to zip. Funnily enough the O went the other way.
I was impressed with the Colts, ditching Manning was a courageous step and it looks like it will pay off in the future.

No need, Pengi. The title of the thread should be enough to know the content ::)

Been watching American football since Channel 4 began showing it in the early 80's. Support the Bears myself.
Super bowl should see Peyton collect his second ring.

Don't think much to your cheerleaders, Lawrence :no:
Is your local team the Fyffe Fife Bananas? :-X

Thought I drank too much and got confused :claphappy:.
Go Seahawks. Didn't put a bet on which I predicted earlier in thread and now regret (odds not great now) but as it's a navy city will be rooting for them.

Massive seahawks fan here :)
Looking forward to Feb 2nd!
Me too, predicting a close game but the seahawks defence should win the game

They will have to be on their game the way Manning is playing / throwing this year!
Go Broncos!!
He won't be aiming in Sherman's direction then lol

Reminder to self - don't post when hung over after watching the play off games on Channel 4 Monday night - what an idiot :-[

Sherman can't cover Thomas and Decker at the same time :no: as long as Manning can avoid Wagner after the snap :uneasy: he has got some good receivers to hit :D
Denver by 3pts :claphappy:
:goggleeyes: well!! Knew the Seahawks would win but to be that dominant!!
I've just had a 3 hour power nap and the first thing I did when I woke up was check that what I watched last night really happend! :claphappy:
Congrats to the Broncos, they now occupy 2 of the top 3 spots for the biggest drubbing on super bowl history :( at least it wasn't as bad as 1990 and they kept it below 50 points this time.
Well done Seattle on a dominant performance and they could be a dominant force for years to come if they keep that group together.
:worried:
Time for some new faces at Mile High though :hmmm:
Will watch it later on (so I can scoot through all the ads) but it certainly isn't the result I expected/wanted.
I wanted the Seahawks to win but just didn't expect the Broncos to roll over like that :o
Hey I am so super proud of meself for taking an interest in such a thing (I know that Seattle creamed Denver 43 - 8?)!
What'd yer want to scoot through the ads for, NPN? They told us here on Aussie news that they cost four million dollars for 30 seconds?
Could have been better than the game :D
Night night. I think there might be an emu out in the backyard ;D
and we don't even get half the adverts!!!
As a Seahawks fan I am massively buzzing today! Wasn't expecting that result at all! I'm functioning on 3 hours sleep and lots if red bull! Go Hawks!!!!

Living in Ohio during my youth ( A Raiders fan in Ohio) I watched the above with a mixture of glee (hated Browns) and pity for my buddies who lived and died with them. Those 80's Broncos simply murdered those very good Browns teams.
So anyhow, that Super Bowl...count me as very surprised. I figured the Seahawks had a very good chance, but a 35 point drubbing?!
With dismay, I remember watching another Elway 'Drive' - inspiring a comeback win against the Oilers in the play-offs. It was sort of inevitable that he would do it :thumbsdown:
I started off supporting the Oilers but when they became the Titans :thumbsdown:, I changed to the Chiefs :thumbsup: (who I had also always liked)
Wonder if Peyton will retire now?
Long long ago when the Superbowl was mentioned but not shown on Brit TV, I chose two teams, knew nothing, but liked the colours of their strips......they were then down in the lower end of their divisions........followed them ever since.............
Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints
