The New England Patriots vs the Seattle Seahawks. Superbowl XLIX thread.

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So the sound bites make the NFL suck? To each there own.

In a game where I have no emotional connection to the team or players, yeah.

Also don't have a tv and work Sundays.

Like I said.

Failing at life.

Teams do this all the time in similar situations,

I agree with this.
I thought it was a horrible call but was not all that shocked by it...... coaches call horribles plays all the time.

I will say though that even if the seahawks scored on the pass, I still would have thought it was an incredibly dumb play call

 

[fishonjazz]

NFL sucks.

College football is way more entertaining and NFL is just annoying.

The only story lines the media shoved down our throats for an entire 2 weeks was "deflate gate" and Marshawn Lynch saying 1 phrase for every media interview. And the Seahawks and Patriots both suck and have 0 likeable players.

You watch football for the storylines?

I just like to see the best athletes in the world playing the best sport in the world on the biggest stage.
And helps when the game is AMAZING like this superbowl was

Yeah....but he gets the td and people would be saying it was a great play and he out smarted the pats. I would have pound beast mode into that line though.

I would not have thought it was a great play if they scored.
I would have thought that they went against the odds of what was most likely to get them into the endzone and was lucky it worked out

Yeah. Pretty much this.

Had they even had any success with a play like that the whole game? Seemed most of their successful passes were to the outside where receivers would make a play, and a couple wheel routes to Lynch. Time was no issue. They needed a yard. Lynch had just run through multiple dudes to get a nice gain on the previous play. Like Fish said, I don't think the potential reward was any better for that play than just handing it off to Lynch, and the risk was a million times higher.

Serious question, had the Pats tackled Lynch for a loss at all the entire evening? Just curious.

You probably would have thought nothing of it. They would have scored and everyone would have went crazy. No one would say a negative thing about it honestly. Seriously they would have won the freakin Super Bowl. Though Like I said don't agree with the call.

I disagree
Ya I would have went crazy and been caught up in the moment, but I still would have been thinking, I can't believe they passed it. (the reason I would be thinking that is because I think passing in that situation is stupid)

In that tiny sliver of time when I realized they were throwing a pass and before I saw the result of the play (about a half second probably), I thought to myself, 'wow, what a horrible decision.'

 

[Fishsticks]

Carrol sounded like a damn mess in the post game. He knows he blew it.

 

[fishonjazz]

It's like if someone has a knife and is bigger than me and coming at me to try to kill me, yet I know I'm faster than him and have room to run and I decide, **** it, I'm going to just charge right at the knife wielding maniac and somehow get lucky and I don't die.

Does that mean charging the knife wielding maniac was a good idea? No, running away was obviously the best option, I just got lucky.



I don't know if I make sense

Maybe I'm jaded because I needed them to lose.
