Not interested. Can end in a 0-0 tie. Won't be watching. Hate both teams. Going to a movie instead.

Won't be there in person this year, but not shedding a tear. Good times up in Portland....flying back during part of the game. Plenty of funny Crean and Deane stories were told.

Could not care any less for the outcome of this game.

Agreed. I'm thankful to be snowed in and completely isolated from the game

Seahawks are a bunch of classless punks.

Guessing God wanted Russell to throw that pick.

Watching Badger Darrell Bevill call the worst play in NFL history and watching Badger Russell Wilson throw that pick to have Pete Carroll go down....well that was kind of fun. Even though I didn't care who won the game, having that epic of a screwup was great.

What could have been one of the most remarkable catches in the history of the Super Bowl will go down as a mere footnote.

Questionable coaching decisions by guys paid millions:

1) Why did Belicheck not call a timeout after the first Lynch run that concluded in a 2nd and goal on the 1 yard line with 1:00 left and two timeouts? In the event Seattle doesn't completely implode and make a similar idiotic coaching decision - such as not running Lynch - you get Brady back the football after kickoff with probably 18 seconds left.

2) Seahawks, inexplicably with 1 time out left, choose NOT to run Lynch - snap ball at 22 seconds left in game. You run Lynch, he doesn't get it - timeout. 3rd&goal with roughly 18 seconds. Run 3rd down play...don't get it - kick field goal and go to OT.

Carroll will be able to appease the media about the call, but not to his players. The players must be absolutely sick and this may effect them for some time. Lynch had at least two more shots to get one yard.

Ners, Seattle was down four, no field goal......

And Ners wonders why we all think he's an idiot. But as a guy who actually probably played some football, he knows that a real coach would know how to run a four point field goal.

JWags85 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2015, 09:59:04 PM »

I just can't stomach the Pats gloating that will be coming. Seahawks fans may be ridiculed for being bandwagon, but Boston fans are insufferable. Not the least of which is my good friend who was born and raised in Chicago but roots for the Pats cause he "never liked the Bears" and won a $10 bet on them in their first Brady Super Bowl win and talks about them like he grew up in Southie. Until Seattle starts saying things like "Greatriots" "Patriots East" "Patriot Way" etc... they are infinitely less obnoxious. I'm honestly more upset about this game outcome than any Super Bowl since the Bears collapse in 2003.

ChuckyChip · « **Reply #20 on:** February 01, 2015, 10:06:42 PM »

The key was that Seattle wasted two timeouts on the drive and only had one left. They didn't think they could run the ball three times with only one timeout and 22 seconds remaining. So the plan was throw on second down and either score or get an incompletion, then run on third down and use the timeout if you don't score to setup the fourth down play.

Kind of makes sense, but horribly risky to throw a ball in traffic like that. They should have done a fade to the corner.

I also agree about NE not taking a timeout...that was very surprising. If Seattle had scored there would have been no time left.

Yeah. Clearly never played hs football. Why even bother to comment on a sport which you are obviously so ignorant.

wadesworld · « **Reply #22 on:** February 01, 2015, 10:19:32 PM »

Grandma is from Boston and always liked the Patriots (and Red Sox and Celtics). Wouldn't necessarily call myself a fan of theirs or even really root for them, but certainly wanted them to win this one with the Seahawks as their opponent. The 2nd last play of the game confirmed everything I believed about the Seahawks and Pete Carroll. Nothing but a punk, and everyone on his team follows suit. The way they lost that game slightly helps the healing process for what happened 2 weeks ago.

1. No concussion protocol for Edelman but there was for Avril?

2. Only one person tossed during the scuffle at the end? Gronk, among a couple others, absolutely threw a punch.

Gronk had about 6 guys jumping on him at once. Seattle loses so they have to start a fight right before it ends. Complete joke.

Oh. Absolutely. But my question still stands as any punch thrown in a game is supposed to result in an immediate dismissal.

That was baffling. After that helmet shot at mid field he was clearly stumbling for several plays in a row. I think Al & Chris mentioned something about his hip, but it seemed pretty clear he was trying to shake the cobwebs out.

It's the Super Bowl! Valuable players don't get concussed in important regular season games let alone the Super Bowl.

There was 30 seconds left in the game. I am sure the refs just wanted it over by that point.

Then why toss the Seahawks player? Just throw a few personal fouls and call it a day.

Because he was and idiot and started a ridiculous, unnecessary melee. Because with the game over he showed extremely bad sportsmanship. Because he was a total tool. It was a great game that the Seahawks tried to ruin by starting a fight in the last 30 seconds. The least the refs could do was to publicly embarrass the instigator, call him out for the jerk he was and toss him so he gets a hefty fine. Rule or no rule, to equally penalize New England players for defending themselves would have made a mockery of the situation.
