[adrotate group=”1″] [wpcdt-countdown id=”15138″] As most of you know I have been a Russell Wilson fan since before he was drafted into the NFL. So that is why I went. Of course they had all the side events going on. But it took all the money I had to buy the tickets and quarters to stay in and eat, and get there. So unless it was a free event I didn’t go. So I will just skip to the main story. Introduction As a die-hard Russell Wilson fan, attending Super Bowl XLVIII was a dream come true. The energy, the anticipation, and the sheer magnitude of the event left an indelible mark on my memory. Let me take you through my unforgettable experience at this historic game. (I am still upset with Pete Carroll, for losing the next year by not allowing the “BEAST” MARSHAWN LYNCH, carry the ball into the endzone for a back to back SUPER BOWL WIN ! The Matchup Super Bowl XLVIII took place on February 2, 2014, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was a clash between the Denver BRONCOS (AFC champions) and the Seattle SEAHAWKS (NFC champions). The stakes were high—the coveted title of NFL champion for the 2013 season hung in the balance. The Dominant Seahawks From the moment the game kicked off, it was clear that the SEAHAWKS were on a mission. Their defense was relentless, stifling the BRONCOS’ offense led by the legendary Peyton Manning. The SEAHAWKS held the BRONCOS scoreless in the first half, taking a commanding 22–0 lead. The stadium buzzed with excitement as Seattle fans erupted in cheers. Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers I was uimpressed by the half time show. I usually am. (The only one I enjoyed was the Lady Gaga performance). BUT some had this to say about the show that day. The halftime show was electrifying. Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage, delivering a performance that had everyone on their feet. The energy, the lights, and the music—it was a spectacle that added to the grandeur of the event. The Final Score As the game progressed, the SEAHAWKS continued their dominance. They went up 36–0 before allowing the BRONCOS their only score—a mere consolation touchdown. The final score: Seattle SEAHAWKS 43, Denver BRONCOS 8. It was the largest margin of victory for an underdog in Super Bowl history. Malcolm Smith’s MVP Performance I didn’t agree with this. To me there were 2 better choices. Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch. But to my chagrin, THEY didn’t even ask me for my input. (That is why I have not attended the Super Bowl again). 😉 Malcolm Smith, the SEAHAWKS linebacker, was named the Super Bowl MVP. His interception return for a touchdown and overall defensive prowess sealed the deal. The SEAHAWKS celebrated their first-ever Super Bowl victory, while the BRONCOS faced their fifth Super Bowl loss—a record at the time. A Cold-Weather Showdown Super Bowl XLVIII was unique for several reasons. It was the first Super Bowl played outdoors in a cold-weather city. The chilly New Jersey air added an extra layer of excitement. And to top it off, it was the first Super Bowl to be played on February 2. As I left MetLife Stadium that night, I couldn’t help but feel privileged to witness history. The SEAHAWKS dominant performance, the halftime show, and the camaraderie among fans—it all came together to create an experience I’ll cherish forever. Super Bowl XLVIII wasn’t just a game; it was a celebration of football, passion, and unforgettable memories. So here’s to the SEAHAWKS, the BRONCOS, and the magic of Super Bowl XLVIII—a moment frozen in time, etched in my heart forever. The highlight of the experience was watching Russell’s precision passes and, of course his running and staying away from the BRONCOS defense. 🏈🎉 Views: 108

NFL PLAYOFFS WEEK TWO
I Passed up a perfect week last week. And I may have not learned all that much. Because once again I will go against the numbers, and question the numbers on another game. Can you guess the two games in question? Going by they numbers my picks would be Denver over Baltimore San Francisco over Green Bay Atlanta over Seattle New England over Houston But now is the time you throw out all the numbers I am only confident about one game. That being Denver over Baltimore. No doubt in my mind about this one. With Manning healthy I believe the Ravens have little chance to advance. However, If Denver’s line falters and Manning is injured, and the score is close, Baltimore has a grand chance to advance. San Francisco and Green Bay. Green Bay has the more seasoned QB in Aaron Rodgers. But Collin Kaepernick: Where did he come from? Perhaps the most surprising QB of this season. He has saavy, Speed and a line that is capable of giving him the time he may need. San Francisco, on the other hand has a fairly awesome defensive team. That leaves us with the question: Which line will wear down first? Seattle and Atlanta. The BATTLE OF THE “Angry “BIRDS. Rookie Russell Wilson and Veteran Matt Ryan. Ryan has played in in 3 post season games and lacks a solitary win. He has so much to prove this game. BUT…can he do it this time? Wilson (the rookie). When you consider what this rookie has brought to Seattle, with his march toward Rookie of the year. Of course you know how much I like this QB. I have to say he is the total package. Although his game last week took a backseat to RGIII’s injury, Is there anything he can not do. Perhaps. Is there anything his team would not do him. Don’t think so. He is a true TEAM Leader. But here is that Veteran Vs the lone Rookie QB. Houston and New England. Pretty much of a toss up for me. Houston had a great season. Clinched their playoff berth early. New England, always tough. Just a tough call and I would have to say a total toss up. Houston has had a couple of off weeks so they should all be healthy. However I have seen these off weeks hurt more teams than help. HOW to call this one. First let me give you the picks if I played the numbers, and the confidence rating they would have received [table]GAME, CONFIDENCE,RUNNING SCORE Saturday 01-12-2013 4:30 pm Baltimore 38 @ DENVER 35 2 OT 4 (miss 4), 0,0 Saturday 01-12-2013 8:00 pm Green Bay 31 @ SAN FRANCISCO 45 2(HIT 2),2,2 Sunday 01-13-2013 1:00 pm Seattle 28 @ ATLANTA 30 1 (HIT 1), 1,3 Sunday 1-12-3013 4:30 pm Houston 28 @ New England 41 3 (HIT 3),3,6 [/table] Final Score 37 Now This is how I would most likely play it if money were on the line [table]GAME, CONFIDENCE,RUNNING SCORE Saturday 01-12-2013 4:30 pm Baltimore 38 @ DENVER 35 2 OT4(miss 4),0,0 Saturday 01-12-2013 8:00 pm Green Bay 31 @ SAN FRANCISCO 45 2(HIT 2),2,2 Sunday 01-13-2013 1:00 pm SEATTLE 28@ Atlanta 30 3,(miss 3), 0,2 Sunday 1-12-3013 4:30 pm HOUSTON 28@ New England 41 1, (miss 1), 0,2 [/table] Final Score 37 FINAL SCORE 69 Good Luck and may MY teams win. I guess I really missed the total score this time New England had more points than my Final Score . WOW !! What a game we started the day with. Double Over Time? Baltimore played a good game, and got many a favorable call or no call. Yes you have those in all games. As I had other business to tend to I have to admit to not seeing the entire game. Only the half attention you pay when company (who does not follow sports) drops by. Their business was important to them and I. It seemed to me DENVER made an abundance of miscues on their own, which contributed to their downfall. These errors made the game about 14 points closer than it should be. So with that said was it the seemingly aforementioned favorable call or no call. NO. It still came down to DENVER mistakes. As for the GREEN BAY-SAN FRANCISCO game. Sadly I must admit I was only able to see a couple of plays. I usually only sleep 4 hours a day. Then there are those days I may sleep all day and night. I fell asleep about 8:30 pm and woke up this morning, by way of a phone call, at about 8:45 this morning. NOT sure I need that much sleep. So much for that. Let’s see what today’s games bring. Disappointing game. Seattle @ Atlanta. I suppose we will never know who called the time out which eventually cost Seattle the win. Seattle coach,Ref,Ump,Atlanta, Atlanta player, Seattle player. My guess is the Seattle coach. But sure seemed to be denying it. You may wonder, like I did, WHERE WAS SEATTLE’s Defense. Well this is my story. At the end of the third quarter I personally called to Atlanta and asked for the Seattle Defensive Coordinator. This is what I was told, “I thought we played the 4:30 game” That is my story anyway. Then that last series the defense just stood watching , just like they did the first 3 quarters. I Am sure you would have to chalk this win not up to the outstanding play of Atlanta, But to the lack of D-E-F-E-N-S-E by the Seahawks. Russell Wilson you may not be the media darling as is RG III. But you have proven yourself to be ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. Small consolation to being SUPERBOWL CHAMPS. However your team is young and I’m sure adjustments will be made in the off season to eventually get you that Super Bowl Ring. Houston Vs New England. You watch this game and wonder “How did Houston get here to begin with. … Continue reading NFL PLAYOFFS WEEK TWO
