Super Bowl 49 discussion thread: Seahawks vs Patriots (Poll added) (1 Viewer)

[TheAristocrat]

Pete Carroll took responsibility but I still think that was Bevell's call. But Carroll said they were worried about running out the clock and were just waiting for the 3rd and 4th down calls where they would run. They makes no sense.

It doesn't make sense beyond Carroll being a stand-up guy.

CBS after the Boston broadcast has a big breaking new graphic coming on to say the Patriots have won the SB

 

[AAABatteries]

If I were a Seattle fan I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight without getting hammered

 

[mbuehner]

Didn't want to run against their goal line group? Wtf.

GL D vs. 3 WR set. Advantage should be on your side throwing.

Jurb...let it go.

You must be new here...

 

[ROCKET]

I remember Brady dropping back, throwing it deep for the end zone and the ball bouncing a couple feet away from the out stretched arms of Gronk, the ball falling incomplete and asking myself why, why can't we seem to get a break. This was after the loss to the Giants, the Welker drop and everything that went along with it along with the Tyree catch.

I am emotionally spent, I thought for sure we were done when the Seahawks were on the one with the clock ticking down. WTF they would throw the ball is beyond me but i can tell you as a sports fan of 49 years I have never been thru anything like this. I told my son who is 14 NEVER complain about your team losing a game ever again as long as you live. I'm completely speechless.

The world is right again.

so great... so great....

GL D vs. 3 WR set. Advantage should be on your side throwing.

Jurb...let it go. They had 1 timeout and 3 shots with the best goaline back in he biz.

They blew it.

Exactly...Lynch just got 4 on the last carry.....let him get the last yard.

That Kearse drop that killed a previous drive though really turned it all around.

 

[monk]

Seriously. Best Superbowl ever?

Hell no.

One of the best for sure.What else could you want?

HOF QB, one of the best ever.

Rising QB

Great defense

guy from nowhere tearing it up

a couple huge WTF moments

yeah that was a great game

Was actually the worst ending I have ever seen

Not a Seahawks fan but just a terrible way for a great game to end ... basically with no winner.

Pats were flat out dead if 99.999% of the people that have ever watched a football game call that play.

But instead it end on the worst call in SB history.

 

[TheAristocrat]

BTW, thanks for a fun thread guys.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Congrats, Patriot fans!

I love it. Hawks are such punks.U mad bro?

Lol. Seattle still in the one ring club.

1 is kinda like 5 isn't it? Look Seattle, you used up all you luck vs GB and that last catch at the goal line. Pay Russell see what left of that defense and we will see you next year.

49ers fans galore! None of you mental midgets posted anything until the Seahawks lost, a game they should have won.

I might have to change my mind, 49ers fan base maybe the worst out there.

 

[Sabertooth]

Congrats pats fans. Great win.

 

[Old Smiley]

BTW, thanks for a fun thread guys.

me too. that was a fun way to take in the game.

 

[Run It Up]

Only natural for the game to end this way after the way the Cowboys beat the Lions, and after how the Packers beat the Cowboys, and after how the Seahawks beat the Packers.

 

[Road Warriors]

OK so can we stop with this nonsense of best def ever and Wilson being some kind of clutch qb...please go home

Wilson played great. Scared me stupid.

His downfield accuracy was insane.

 

[SproutDaddy]

OK so can we stop with this nonsense of best def ever and Wilson being some kind of clutch qb...please go home

Just stop. It's a super bowl, everything goes out the window, if you're judging based on one game you're just a dumb ####. Don't be a dumb ####.

Say what now?

 

[dickey moe]

Has there ever been a Super Bowl with more "ifs" than this one?

 

[voiceofunreason]

Name a better Super Bowl old guys. I don't know much about the 70's and early 80's SB games.

top 5 for sure.. Giants winning with a Fg as time runs out.. Rams stopping Titans at the 1.. Ne has had a couple very close wins, and the lost vs. Giants to go 18-1 are just some.

That's fair. I'm severely biased on Maker's right now.

I watched most of those but right now I'd take this one. The patriots almost losing it with another freak catch after coming back by 10 points, plus the fact that you did have two great teams at the top of their game makes it pretty special to me. Rams/Titans, I mean the Titans weren't in the same class as a football team. Just a great game. Tom Brady went from losing his last 3 super bowls to a 4 time winner and back and forth 3 times in the last 2 minutes. Pretty crazy.

 

[bostonfred]

Props to carroll for owning that call.

Personally i think it was a great call - use up all the clock them take your shot. if it's incomplete, you still have all your time left and a timeout for lynch to run. If you run it you only get three more plays and youre forced to go for three passes in a row because the clock is ticking. But if you pass on first you give yourself an extra shot.

I also think that was belichicks motive for letting the clock run. He wanted to bait them into the pass and it worked.

Just an incredible chess match to watch.

 

[GoBirds]

Congrats on the W.....after the Tyree catch you guys were owed one for sure.

 

[ffldrew]

Deion telling it like it is on NFL network

Worst call in history

 

[sho nuff]

90% of that game was terrible. Itbjust wasn't all that interesting of a game. Last 5 minutes were awesome.

Commercials were blah too.

Odd with timeouts not used..not running with Lynch at the end and a great defensive play being made.

 

[theplayer11]

sherman looked mad....sorry bro

No ... this is a true case of a team losing the game.

No team actually won the game today but the pats get the trophy by default because Seattle lost it

It was 2nd down and they had 1 TO, so not following you there.

well i hate to say it seatlle brohans but now you know how last game felt for the packers ugh it is horrible have a beer or three and try to sleep you will not want to watch any sports for about ten days but hey it is just a game be good to other people drive nice tomorrow and give you kids a hug take that to the bank brohans

 

[Willie Neslon]

You have to wonder if Lynch being selfish in not talking to the media had an unconscious effect on the playcall there. if he was a non-controversial guy maybe they say no way we can't put the ball in his hands. Instead he's a hassle to have in the locker room and something deep down says go another way with the big play. For a guy who lead the league in TD's you'd think a handoff there would be an obvious call.

Oh, please. Accept the loss and move on. Stop making excuses. The Patriots won it with a great interception and were the REAL winners.

Teams blow games out of their ### all the time. This isn't some new phenomenon.

oh please........butt catch was a total fluke..sea didn't do much most of the game. You really think you can win like that 2 weeks in a row? They were lucky to be in the SB

 

[Ed Wood]

When Lynch moved to the left of Wilson I was think WTF play is this. Throwing to Lockette for the game with Lynch and a TO at the 1 after getting that miracle catch by Kearse. That was beyond bad call.

Great game by the Pats. Great play by that kid jumping that route. Brady on those last 2 drives, stud.

Such a brutal end but a great season.

I thought it was a great end to a brutal season...the most brutal in history.

 

[GoBirds]

Butler's 1st career INT......nice timing. seems like a nice kid.

The slant in close there has the highest likelihood of something going wrong. Pound it with the guy who lead the league in td's is virtually no risk. easy to say after the fact but that was a horrible play call.

if you run and don't make it you have to use your t.o. then you cant afford to run again until fourth down. if you pass and don't make it you can do either. that's why he threw it. You want flexibility on every play to put maximum pressure on the defense.

Seahawks players will revolt. Carroll love is over.

 

[Old Smiley]

Gotta say it again. Butler what a beeee yooteeful play on that ball

 

[mbuehner]

So that interception was a fluke, but the ball bouncing off a guys foot and landing in a guys hands on his back is a good way to decide a game. Got it.

Marshawn to me on if he's surprised he didn't get the ball on the 1: "No. Because we play football. It's a team sport."

 

[Neofight]

Bad play call? Those pick plays work like 99% of the time in the NFL. It was just a great defensive play. Butler jumped that route perfectly.

No sorry. Not a bad play call. A terrible one. Embarrassingly bad. Unnecessary.

Yet we heard all night and week how money Wilson is in crunch time. Seems people were fine putting it in his hands until it didn't work out.

Who cares if it's Wilson? J.H. Christ could be behind Center and with the time left and the TOs (and the fact that NE didn't call a TO)..... you give it to Marshawn

The only thing Russell should be blamed for is not audibling out of such a crappy call. Bunched tight with trips right is pretty ridiculous given the circumstances. Pete Carroll said the just want to burn a play; why wouldn't you do that feeding the best RB in the game?
