Tony Romo is fantastic

Agreed. He knows his stuff, and is so excited its like having the smartest super fan in the world in the room with you.

Who is the best?

You are just trying to be funny right?

[Heisenberg]

No, I think Collingsworth and Romo are about even.  Collingsworth is excellent with the telestrator. 

Aikman ... Meh!

[wadesworld]

You are just trying to be funny right?

He's trying to get attention. It's what he does.

unnatural carnal knowledge off Brady

unnatural carnal knowledge off Brady

The Patriots offensive line is absurd.

[Jockey]

Games are lost more often than they are won.

One idiot lines up offside - a full half yard -and KC goes home instead of to the SB.

[MUEng92]

Another year of watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials #evilempire.  Too bad. KC LA would have actually been fun to watch

[nyg]

Jeez, how many third down conversions did NE make today?  Like 15?  Brady is just plain, stupid good. 

Ford offside, two passes to Gronk on third, not one KC sack, ugh...

KC defense was gassed, should have called a timeout way earlier.

Hate Pats, but every year, ridiculous.  A lot folks gonna be rooting for Rams. 

[nyg]

Brady was 13 for 19 on third downs.  That's just passing to get first down.  White might have had a bunch running on third to get a first.  Crazy. 

[jesmu84]

Chiefs-saints next Sunday for 3rd place??

[MUEng92]

I hate it when my tv picture during the Super Bowl is all red due to my rage detesting the Patriots for a generation

Brady GOAT


That team has trash at wide receiver, doesn't matter.  41 years old, doesn't matter.  GOAT

I wish the Packers receivers could get a hold of the invisibility cloak Edelman seems to own allowing him to get to spots 10 yds away from the closet defender constantly

Here's what the NFL should do with controversial plays: 

Any play, any penalty, any fumble, anything can be appealed to a 9 man average guy panel.   Any fan can apply, but they take a quiz on NFL rules .. top test takers win.  Average guys must state their favorite team and will be recused from any play that impacts them (or perhaps their team's playoff hopes.)  Maybe have a few sets of 9.

There's some command center, maybe in the middle of the courntry like STL so flights are shorter.  They are on-call for all games, awaiting a challenge.

When the challenge comes in, the guys are on TV.   They see the replays we see, the audience hears them debate eachother for a minute, then they vote. 

And they can vote on anything.  No more "non-reviewable" crap.  Reverse it, approve it, call a penalty that should have been called, whatever these 9 dudes want is what happens.

Outside of Dee Ford...the only way chiefs win that is scoring the TD at a slower pace.

Before Edelman it was Welker, Dion Branch, Kevin Faulk, Amendola, along with Gronk, Watson, Moss, Troy Brown.  Brady passes 9 yards, then 8 yards, then 9 yards, slices you up with those quick guys that always got open.  Years of the same thing. 

[wadesworld]

The conversation for greatest athlete of all time is down to two. Brady and Jordan.

Bolt and Phelps can sit at the kid's table as an honorable mention.

[Pakuni]

Remember when the NFL was dying?
Yeah, me brother.

Exactly, its scheme.  Guys chipping down, motion, quick outs, etc...  Brady is very accurate but I firmly stand by any number of guys in this era could have had his success in that scheme and the tremendous blocking plan they have.  Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Rivers, Luck.

People are predictably going crazy about Brady but those last 2 drives he literally hit first read open receivers over and over.  Edelman, Hogan, guys were wide open.  He wasn't throwing them open.  Hell, he underthrew the lob to Gronk.

I don't know about you, but it sure looked like every 3rd down catch that was made in that second half was an air tight window with a great throw that only his receiver could get.  Whether it was Edelman, Gronk, or fill in the receiver.  Some incredibly accurate throws in tight windows.

The guy is incredible.  He's 41 friggin years old playing QB in the NFL.
