KEY STAT:
Q: In your past Super Bowls your offense has never scored a point in the first quarter…BB: Thanks Mike. Yeah, all of the negative stuff in the Super Bowls we need to be aware of, too.Q: How much do you look at that history this week and try to emphasize it to the team?BB: Look, we try to score in every game. I know that’s probably hard to understand, but we try to go out and score and keep the other team from scoring. That’s our goal every game.

are you considering scoring in the 1st quarter this time?

idk telling Tom you're down by 3 scores at all times seems like it could be a winning strategy
― frogbs, Thursday, 25 January 2018 16:31 (six years ago) link
Maybe the deal they have with the NFL is that if they spot their opponents a couple scores in the first half, they get a big PI call in the second half.

It's pretty tame by comparison i'd figure but UK hoop fans have a tradition of putting couches out in yard, in front of the frat or road up by the college gates and setting them ablaze after wins.

my too-early super bowl thots:
with philly’s very strong d front and mediocre secondary, the obvious route to victory for the patriots is to throw the ball 60 times and gas the rush so brady can pick the coverage apart in the 4th quarter, a very belichick gameplan. however, one complicating factor is depth, with the eagles having a strong rotation of 7 guys on their line. i can easily imagine schwartz featuring his best guys in the first quarter and the fourth and denying new england the chance to get an early lead or rely on late heroics again. another complicating factor is that the pats won’t have the ball enough if the eagles offense stays on the field. their o line has also been winning its match ups, and ajani/blount plus rpos plus foles making plays when called on is a recipe for long drives. usually the patriots would just absorb those long drives and keep them out of the endzone (regular season: 32nd in yards per drive – 35.27, 6th in pts per drive – 1.65) but letting philadelphia keep their d guys fresh could be game breaking.
if the eagles play their best game and all of the pieces work, it will look pretty bleak for the patriots. in fact, it will probably look just like that first giants super bowl, with brady getting beaten up and new england held in the teens and losing. BUT the elements are so interdependent that if one part breaks up the whole machine might not work. if the running game doesn’t fire then new england gets the ball too much. if foles reverts to regular season form then the eagles will struggle to score. if the pass rush doesn’t make brady uncomfortable the pats will score too much. and there are other factors that make the margin so small for the eagles. new england has a special teams edge that means their drives will likely be shorter overall and the eagles’ longer, and philly’s rookie kicker could become a wildcard. philly’s defense stops big plays on the outside but they are bottom half of the league vs both TEs and wr3s which is p significant vs gronk and dola.
overall, while i do believe if both teams play their best game philadelphia is favoured in the match up, i think there are more scenarios where the patriots win.
