No worries man.
I think it'll be a good game.
I am rooting for my Hawks all the day but... It's somewhat comforting that even if we lose, at least someone who deserves another ring gets it.
It's going to be a huge chess game with a solid defense (and not just from Sherman but as a defensive whole) vs a mastermind in the qb position and arguably the greatest qb of our generation.
Personally I'd like to see Sherman get lit up all game long.
I'd like to think you guys studied our tape vs the Broncos pretty well. We actually played them pretty tough and hit Manning 4 or 5 times in the opening drive (the key to beating Manning, hit him early, often and a lot). We played mostly a Cover 2 in that game and it seemed to work for about 3 quarters. Of course then Manning took over and did what he does. We mostly played in a Cover 3 during the season, much like you guys, except for that game vs the Broncos.
I'd have to imagine we'll see you guys play a good bit of Cover 2 in this Super Bowl. You guys have far better Pass Rushers then us and we were able to get to him early in that game.
It's definitely going to be Strength vs Strength in this game. Great Offense vs Great Defense and I'm looking forward to it.
