Is the haltfime show really that bad? I can hear it in the other room. I don't care about that stuff. Its a football game not some concert
To be honest, Katy Perry went waaaay over the top with her performance. I was laughing my butt off when I saw her on a lion/tiger machine.
Wilson lost this! Why not go to Lynch?!
Zero cheating.Still dunno about the cheating bit tho
I'm waiting for dem details
changing the snack count.
Oh no! Will there be enough nutter butters for everyone!?
I don't really watch that much sports, but I was kind of blown away by how everyone seemed to be reacting to the plays. The bobble catch the announcers were like "Wait.... What?! No... he did." The crowd also didn't seem to be reacting as it happened, It was like people didn't seem to know what was happening, or maybe believe what was happening. The same thing after the interception and I'm like wait, they can't kneel down though right, it's like a safety? The announcers though and team were all kind of celebrating, then they went, oh wait, that doesn't work.
Plus all those non-calls? I mean that first kick the announcer is like, hey! That's roughing the passer? Also, the intentional grounding. The refs basically seemed like they were ordered not to call anything really flagrant, but it ended up feeling like everyone.. I don't know.. I'm kind of rambling but it just felt like there was a huge gap between the wild nature of what was going on and everyone's reactions and stuff, I mean there was a legitimate freaking brawl at the end there, it seemed like these people just hated each other...
Then afterwards it's just like calm and refined Tom Brady, I don't know, it just seemed like a really wild experience from a casual observer it was like everyone sitting at a table with a nice dinner and there's like a fist fight going on in the background and they all just kept eating.
Maybe it's just the growing popularity of keeping things so planned and controlled, that people weren't used to having that kind of chaos. Or at least, it looked like sort of chaos to me.
Oh no! Will there be enough nutter butters for everyone!?
I don't think there was any cheating in this very closely scrutinized game. I am happy for the Patriots fan base who deserved better than the scandals their team brought on them in the past. Both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are getting close to the end of their careers, Tom Brady more than his coach. There won't be many more chances for atonement.I guess cheating does pay after all...
Zero cheating.
Essentially, Seahawks had a strong lead and, in the fourth quarter, lost it so that Patriots were up, 24-28 with ~2 minutes left.
Then, in what has to be one of the most amazing catches in football, Seahawks WR Pearse falls while making the catch, bouncing the ball around and coming down, completing the catch in the four yard line.
With four downs and only four yards, the Seahawks decide to throw the ball, in less room to score than most people have from their couch to the TV, and the ball is intercepted.
Devastated, the Seahawks group up, just waiting for the Patriots to take a knee and make the game over. After a set of timeouts, the Patriots goad the Seahawks to commit an offsides penalty by changing the snap count. This results in a full on fight, with refs getting invovled and multiple players throwing each other all over the place.
On the next play, Patriots take a knee, roll credits.
Wilson didn't make that call. He threw to a guy who would have made the catch if the defender didn't knock him off his route.
Not defending the play call - 4 downs to move 4 yards when you have Marshawn Lynch and then throwing at all is nothing short of boneheaded.
They should've simply thrown to Lynch and have him power through. They were inches away from the goal and the Seahawks have been deferring to Lynch almost all game!
Guess you shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken.

My Seahawks had a good season and there will be another year when we get that next Super Bowl win. Count on that.
Maybe so, but they will have to come to Charlotte to play the Panthers if they want that next Super Bowl win. Hahaha
When you have Marshawn Lynch, a RB who averages more yards after being touched than the Seahawks had between them and victory? Yeah, they shouldn't have thrown it all, just handed the ball to him.
Still, a great game and I was pulling for Seatle the entire time. I felt terrible for Russel Wilson - poor guy looked like he might have broken down in tears after that interception.

I always felt like New England was the next team I would have most wanted to see win it all if could not be my Packers. I can respect any franchise with their winning tradition. In many ways they are similar to Green Bay (QB/coach combo, management style, perennial playoff team). And, as I said earlier ITT, I am a big Tom Brady fan and wanted to see him get another ring (unlike P. Manning on both counts). I would have actually felt a little bad if Green Bay handed him another loss in the SuperBowl and was hoping for the Packers and Colts to advance together to avoid that outcome. Very happy for him.
You have my sympathies, katie. I hate when people say "I know how you feel," but given the recent heart-breaker my team suffered, I think I just might.

Not his call, but it was his throw, and it was a bad one. In the red-zone, there is so little space to work with and it gives the DBs the advantage. Trying to force the ball into a tight window like that was a big mistake by Wilson, even if that play should not have been called in the first place.
Simmons looks ancient. The Kornheiser photobomb is the best though.
Is that Matt Damon in the middle?

Still not as bad as the mustachioed look he had briefly a few years ago:

I can second this; I grew up in Eagles country, and they've found a way to either be irrelevant or blow it every single year since 1960. The Cleveland Browns (!) have won an NFL title more recently than the Eagles, and they don't even get loveable underdog status because of the reputation of the fans. The Seahawks' core of talented young players will get better over time, and if any time has a chance to break the trend of Super Bowl losers faring poorly the next season, it's them.
I'll probably have more thoughts on the game itself later. Still processing the game in my head, plus I've got to prepare my lectures for tomorrow.
