You have come to our boards showing the kind of bravado one should expect from a team that has been a contender for over a decade. You have confidence that your experienced team with it's veteran QB and savvy, crafty head coach can come into Glendale and put one over on the upstart young Seahawks. Good. You should feel confident. The Broncos and their fans felt exactly the same way you do this time last year.
As was the case a year ago, most of the pundits are touting a win for the Patriots. They're writing articles about how Russell Wilson isn't that good. How the defense has weaknesses that the Patriots are built to expose. They're going to tell you how Seattle just doesn't have enough offense. You're going to hear them say what a great career Tom Brady has had, and how he will cement his legacy with another Superbowl win. You're going to feel so excited when, on Sunday morning, the vast majority of pundits, analysts and talking heads all pick the Patriots to win the superbowl. You'll feel like the injuried sustained by Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman will give the Patriots a significant edge. You're going to believe that Marshawn Lynch will be a distraction for his team, and that he won't have a great game rushing. You will have no doubt that the Patriots' defense can cover the Seattle receivers adequately, so as to slow down Russell Wilson and the Seahawks' offense.
Right up until the game starts, you're just going to be so sure that the Patriots are going to win. The coin toss will happen. The game will start, and for the next few hours of your life, you're going to watch in horror as the Seahawks stomp the absolute piss out of the Patriots in front of the entire world. The game will end, and you'll be left with nothing to say except for that immortal, unanswerable question first posed to the world by the legendary Jack Burton not one year ago:
How 'bout these ballhawks from the Pacific Northwest?
It had to be said.
