Im really excited about this superbowl. This has to be the first one in a long long time that I even give a damn about. I love both teams and think it is really going to be a back and forth kind of game.

Janikowski = X factor

even his 25 yard field goals seem like each would go 50 if the net wasn't there. :confused:

I'm going for the Bucs, but won't be upset if my FSU boys on the Raiders really step up and win it.

That's funny? Tampa scoring 27 points against a good defense? Not likely. Yeah they scored 27 against Philly but that won't happen against Oakland. I'm still not sure what Coach Reid of the Eagles was thinking by backing off their normally agressive defensive play calling and trying to play it safe. Guess he just got a bit tight assed and ended up choking his team.

So what your saying is the Eagles dont have a good defence? Eagles have a very good defence with 4 starters going to the pro bowl. The Eagles D is better then the Raiders IMO. Also in the second half of last weekends game the Eagles D played very aggressively and got burned by Johnson picking them apart.

Also noting that Philly's D is better than Oakland's.

D: Tampa>Philly>Oakland

Tampa Bay is going to win. It might not be by much (I'm thinking by a field goal!) but they are going to win.

Why?

If you drove around Tampa during the last week, you would know. There is just this wave of faith and positive vibes going out that is hard to describe. I think the Bucs will win powered by the sheer will of the people who have supported them for the past 26 years (me included, since I was a little kid!)

It's our turn and we know it.

Preach on sister! :p

I love driving around with my flags on my car, everyone honks at each other, the town is electric, And I really doubt we will have much a riot issue to deak with win OR lose. (Unlike Oakland)

I got my NFC Champions shirt today! Sam's Club - $7.00 :D

Thanks for the link, SuperSix. I've been looking for a recording of that since last Friday when they played it from 8am - 5pm. They actually recorded it before the season started to get people psyched for the new season with Gruden.

GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm already stoked for the game, but we're going to have a mini celebration at the office at the end of the day. We've also got a friendly rivalry going with the San Raphael office of our company.

GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!

If ya think Martin celebrates a lot now, let's see how he reacts if he kicks the game winner on Sunday. :D

LOL, the Eagles played a very flat game; the Bucs played at the top of their game. That was the difference. We heard all of the hype about Pennington, who just happened to have the best QB rating in the league, and how he was going to give the Raider's secondary fits. Didn't happen, did it? I don't expect Johnson to do any better. He's less mobile in the pocket and prone to make mistakes when he gets rattled; and the Raiders D front is definately going to rattle him.

That wasnt my point. I was just saying that the Eagles DO have a good defence. I never said Johnson is going to pick the Raiders apart (Even though he will :D) I just said thats what he did to the Eagles.

I want to see the Raiders win it, but I think the Bucs will. Just like we saw with college football, defense wins championships.
