***Official Super Bowl LII (52) Game Night Thread***
-
Hi, Browns fans!
The 2017 NFL season concludes tonight when the New England Patriots And Philadelphia Eagles play each other in their second Super Bowl. Patriots defeated the Eagles 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, FL back on January 2005.
Super Bowl LII is being played inside the US Bank Stadium in Downtown Minneapolis, MN, since partly cloudy skies at 4 degrees, a wind chill of -10 degrees, and western winds at 10 miles per hour, is the game forecast outside for the 6:30PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff.
Justin Timberlake is also the featured performer for the Super Bowl LII halftime show.
NO injuries, and GO NFL!!!!!

Always a bit down this time of year knowing the Browns are so bad but here's hoping for a good game.

GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
ONE MAN'S OPINION, SUPER BOWL LII SEASON FINALE.......
New England’s run defense has been strong in its past four games with defensive linemen Malcom Brown, Lawrence Guy and Ricky Jean Francois all playing well. Kyle Van Noy’s return to health was an added plus along with the late signing of veteran linebacker James Harrison, who still can effectively rush the passer. The Eagles ranked fourth in scoring defense and fewest yards allowed. Fletcher Cox is a two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. He posted 5.5 sacks and helped make the Eagles the toughest team to run against in the NFL.
New England, though, is not a running team. Brady moves the chains by throwing short-to-intermediate passes to Gronkowski, Brandin Cooks, Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan while also frequently targeting running backs James White, Rex Burkhead and Dion Lewis out of the backfield. The Patriots use the pass to to set up the run not the other way around. Lewis’ versatility is a major weapon. He had 1,110 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns during the regular season despite playing very little in the first five weeks. Lewis had 141 yards from scrimmage in the Patriots’ 35-14 throttling of theTitans in the division round. New England is 8-0 when Lewis exceeds 100 rushing/receiving yards.
The Eagles gave up 2,485 passing yards to receivers, which was the ninth most passing yards in the league, and 199 catches, which was the sixth-highest in the league. Philadelphia did have the fourth-most takeaways and recorded six defensive touchdowns, trailing only the Jaguars’ seven on the season. Patrick Robinson’s pick-six jumped-started the Eagles to their thrashing of the Vikings. Brady, however, ranks with Joe Montana as the best big-game quarterback of all-time. Given a choice of Brady against the Eagles defense and Foles, the choice is going to be Brady. The Patriots are 159-15 for 91 percent when they have a positive turnover differential. Doug Pederson has proven he’s an up-and-coming coach with a sharp offensive mind. But nobody outsmarts Belichick especially when he has two weeks of preparation time.
SO WHAT TO DO? LOOKS LIKE THE PATRIOTS ARE A LOCK COVERED 9 OF THE LAST 10, A SHOE IN, ANOTHER GUARANTEED SUPER BOWL WIN -BUT-.......
WE'RE BROWNS FANS AND WE BET THE UNDERDOGS! PHILADELPHIA +4 AND OVER 48 BABY!
ENJOY THE GAME!

How could that be an OT score? If the game is tied, say 35-35 at the end of regulation....and NE kicks a FG on their first trip down the field, how do the Eagles then score on a 4 pt. play?
The ONLY way I could see that score happening is if: Score tied 31-31 at the end of regulation. NE gets the KO....scores a TD and an extra pt. Then Philly gets the ball...scores a TD...and then scores on a 2 pt. conversion.
But that can't happen either...can it? Because...under current rules, if the team that gets the ball first scores a TD...the game is over, no?
So...come on now...give us your scenario.

In the end I think the Pats and Brady go at Philly's secondary... if they can at least draw even with the Eagles pass rush, they win and probably by 10 points.

Going at the Eagles secondary....

The next time Kenny Britt runs his mouth he should be reminded the Pats looked at him and decided they'd rather have Brady run routes.
