I made this thread title because I hate both the niners and the cheatriots.I hate the donkeys as well cause of Manning, but I hate the cheatriots worse.
Thats why I am so grateful that the title games were played in Seattle and in Denver because I seriously doubt the Seahawks or Donkeys would have gone to the superbowl had those games been played on just a neatral field.
Huggy,I love the Hawks almost as much as you do.But I have to go with what some of the announcers were saying in the pregame show when they were asked to predict who they thought would win between the niners and Seahawks.
People like Boomer Esiason and others were saying that if the game was being played on a neautral field,they would have picked the niners to win because they had entered the game playing well where the Seahawks had not.They then said-But because its in seattle,that 12th man will be a huge factor and I got to take Seattle.
They were correct,that 12th man WAS a huge factor in them winning that game because as you recall,they had a delay of game penalty because of crowd noise,Because of that penalty,they now went from am very managable 3rd and 2 to a much more difficult 3rd and 7. as you recall,Kappy went back to pass and one of the hawks defenders stripped the ball from him.
well he wouldnt have gone back to pass trying to find someone open down the field which he couldnt, which was the cause of the defender stripping the ball from him.they lost crtitical field position from that,they were getting close to field goal range at that time.had they not had a delay of game penalty,kappy wouold not have gone back to try and complete a deep pass down the filed like did which resulted in the turnover.
and the crowd noise of course affected many of their play calling as well.
Same with Denver.Had this game been played in boston,no way do the donkeys win this game.The pats are a much different team on the road and playing in that mile high air where the donkeys already have a huge advantage of since they are used to it and the pats dont travel there every year like the chiefs,chargers,and raiders do who have at least some kind of idea what the elements are like there and the thin air,that was a huge disadvantage for them.
and then there is the fact the donkeys defense blew a 24 nothing halftime lead earlier in the year in boston. and the crowd noise was also a major factor against the pats offense the same way the Hawks crowd noise was for the niners offense. hampering their ability to call audibles same as it did with the niners offensein seattle.
I am so grateful they both had homefield advantage.
