Its almost February, and that means Super Bowl Sunday will be upon us soon. I hope you've booked yourself a table at hooters, or a mates couch in front of a big flat screen tv. Who's bringing the hot wings? whos shouting the beers? Green jerseys on one side, one asshole patriots fan on the other all by himself.
This years super bowl feature the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots, which will make for what is thought to be a super bowl blowout. Underdog Eagles have battled to be in the playoffs and have suffered many set backs, but here they are in the final show down. Most certainly the Patriots will be the victors of the match up, a team that has been to the super bowl 8 times in 14 years and has won 5 of those, soon to be 6. The dynasty of coaches havnt changed in the past two seasons, keeping Head Coach Bill Bellechick, defensive coordinater Matt Patricia, and Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. A team that last season was successful at chocking the power offence of the Atlanta Falcons. The chances are more likely a defensive close out by the Patriots. With defensive Minded Bellecheck and Patricia aggressively taking away any run options of the Eagles. This should leave back up quarterback Nick Foles in charge of carrying the offensive reps, which is bound to be a mistake making concoction.
Veterans James Harrison, Devin Mccorty, Stephen Gilmore, and Malcom Buttler will take aim for target Eagles qb Foles. A clever pass rush scheme against a weakened Eagles Oline, who is missing starting left tackle Jason Peters to injury, is one way to get Foles under pressure. Disguised coverages and different looks will help to confuse the back up qb from recognising the best throwing route.
the eagles have a running game and a very fine secondary/ linebacking core, speed and instincts. Is that enough to slow down Gronkowski, white, and cook? we will see if they can rattle brady and his team in the critical 4th quarter, just like the patriots have often done in their history... cough falcons... cough.
