Road To Super Bowl, 2011. You Can Pretend To Know About The NFL!

Has hell frozen over?

Seriously, they're much better than they've been in years.

The Seahawks look totally hapless. Not sure if it's the snow or just that their path here has been so flukey and they're not actually a playoff-caliber team.

Or both.

Is it snowing? I don't have a tv, so instead just follow the play by play without video.

like on the radio?

but without those annoying announcers...

It's snowing, yeah! Teams of dudes with leaf blowers prowling the yard markers at breaks to keep them visible. Cold, swirly snow (I think it's mid-20's there -- snow in warmer weather is heavier and less swirly). Not a lot of it and seems to have let up a bit. Maybe 1-2 inches has fallen since the game started.

And these goofs are playing in shirtsleeves. Some of them have those long-sleeved underlayers on but not many.

On my computer, with a little update of each play scrolling across my screen, like "Cutler incomplete deep right."
I am not really into the NFL games themselves.

(i watch in the same fashion)

no tv in the woods, either.

I do have a TV but it's when I watch football that I realize that the producers expect everyone to have a giant screen. I emphatically do NOT. It's a cubist 20-inch Trinitron. I can make out what's going on but the graphics are ridiculously teeny and lo-res, to the point where I can't make out most of the text even if I'm standing 10 inches away.

I just measured, with the black bands at the top and bottom (letterboxing?), the actual image is 10 inches by 16 inches.

Ooh, Cutler barely escaped there. If the Seahawks were a little less hapless that'd have been an interception.

I can relate, johnboy. Today I have been in bed all day with a cold. Can anyone tell me the score of the Seattle game?

21 zip.

da bears...

mid 3rd qtr.

get better jw.

I was joking. Thanks, anyway.

you need a funny hat, so I don't miss them...

For those not watching, the snow is pretty much done -- the odd flake now and then maybe. Visibility seems much better. Probably won't actually help the Seahawks much.... ooh that was almost a td though. Interference!

Oh man, here we go. Patriots/Jets.
I hope the Pates can do it, but the Jets are REALLY revved.

Welker isn't starting.
Coach Hoodie was not amused by his "foot" interview.

Rhys and I are sitting here sipping hot mulled wine.
Expect my posts to deteriorate.
(Aw right, who said " How can we tell?")

The Seahawks scored 20-some points? Did da Bears pull there players?

Jets take the kickoff.
Get a first.
Forced to punt on 4th and 5.

Patriots' ball.
Woodhead gets a first.
Tate gets a first.

I don't think so (I admit I was half-watching towards the end), just the visibility improved and the Bears' intensity went down a notch and things started going the Seahawks' way. Too little too late of course.

Bears and Packers have only met for the NFC championship once before... in 1941!! That's amazing. Looking forward to it, though the forecast looks like it'll be an equally cold day and I know Rodgers has been enjoying the domes.
