Here we go. I say the Pats win and Gronk plays a big role. GRONK.
-
I'm pulling for Jordy.
-
A couple that are friends of mine are die-hard Seahawks and die-hard Pats fans. This will be a fun couple of weeks
-
I'm pulling for Jordy.
Jordy will be pulling wheat piles around on SB sunday

The look on Jordy's face as the dumbass who was supposed to be blocking let that on side kick doink off his helmet will probably make an appearance tho
-
This the ideal matchup for me. Obviously I'm a diehard Seahawks fan but the Pats are my favorite AFC team so either way I'll be celebrating a 'ship.

Congrats :D
-
Will the Chiefs ever play in a Super Bowl again? :dunno:
-
The early money seems to have come in on the Patriots.
-
I would like the seahawks to win to get some dynasty talk going.
-
I'll cheer for the Seahawks. Probably.
-
I am in the final week of a knockout pool. 5 people left. I can't decide who to take.
-
I think the pats win
-
agree, the Seahawk pass rush is no match for Belichick and Brady with 2 weeks to
cheat prep
-
The Chiefs should use Aggy logic and claim a Super Bowl victory.
-
I just can't cheer for a team coached by Peter Carroll.
-
My dislike of Pete Carroll is outweighed by my love for Sherman and Lynch. Hawks! :tsc: <----except Xbox colors
Hope Gronk still gets a chance to GRONK tho

-
Thanks for the link sdk. IMO they would have won anyway; why the attempts at gaining any other advantage?
-
Weak balls or not, Pats win.
-
Because Bill is shady and must win.
#TheWesIsTheFuture
-
Pats will cheat there way somehow
-
Pete Carroll is probably my favorite coach in the world. How can you not love him?
Love the Pats, too, though.

-
although I just saw the idiotic tom brady press conference and my god I hated those reporters, so it's hard not to root for the pats
-
I have now switched my allegiance. After watching Bill and Brady in their pressers, I suspect Pete is less of a cheater than the Pats combined.
Because the NFL will do nothing about this (other than fine the Pats and make them give up a draft choice), there is no accusation that Pete cheated (this time). Go Seahawks.
-
Yes. Go old AFC west!

Are people actually mad about the deflated balls thing?
-
Are people actually mad about the deflated balls thing?
Yeah, I don't get it, I love how it's like a top story on everything from ESPN to USA Today to Fox News. Though I personally think Bill and Co. did it and knew about it, I don't really care and it sure as hell had very little to do with them stomping Indy.
-
The people talking about the effect on stomping Indy are missing the point. You can't allow people to cheat and only punish it if you think it impacted the game. They still cheated and did so before Indy was stomped. That said, fine/pull draft picks and move on. People talking about benching Brady or firing Bellichick are idiots.
-
Won't watch. Boring matchup. Might try to catch a few of the commercials.

The refs approved the balls in pregame though. And handled them between every play, but saw nothing wrong. This is a total non issue

They approved them 2.5 hours before the game and then the ball boy or whatever took them. They pulled the balls in the first half.
I don't think it effected the game but that is irrelevant to me. The Pats did something blatantly against the rules to gain an advantage in the playoffs. They should be punished.
-
Oh well if the balls were pulled in the first they were definitely helping the Colts more. Should have kept those deflated balls
-
FWIW, a 40 degree temp drop (from outside to inside) could cause a drop off ~1 psi, so there's half of it
-
Brady and Bellichick should be suspended from the Super Bowl, imo.
-
Have I mentioned that the end result of the game is irrelevant? They cheated before they knew the end result. Nobody is saying put the Colts in the Superbowl (though I wish someone would just to troll everyone). All I'm saying is do the punishment that is listed in a severe fashion for the crime that was committed. The punishment is fine/draft pick then fine them and pull a 2nd rounder.
-
Brady and Belichick right now:

-
I heard that Katy Perry is going to do something drastic at halftime to fuel her rivalry with Taylor Swift. (apparently they hate each other) should be a good watch!
-
after they fine the pats or whatever the nfl should consider, I don't know, not letting teams be in charge of balls used in games
Or instead of each team providing their own set of balls maybe just have the home team be responsible for providing a set of balls that both teams use. That's how it works in baseball. Since both teams are using the same balls it pretty much eliminates the incentive to manipulate the balls although theoretically a weak hitting team might try to deaden balls if they were playing against a power hitting team.
-
Nobody is saying put the Colts in the Superbowl (though I wish someone would just to troll everyone).
That would be crazy. If not every important Patriots player or coach gets suspended, the game should be canceled and the Seahawks declared champions at a giant ceremony at their own stadium.
-
The Patriots should have to replay the game against the Colts tomorrow. That way they could settle this fair and square.
-
I am now an official Sherman fan.

It's a terrible matchup with two hated teams. We're all over the pats and I hate Pete Carroll. :zzz:

Tough - two of my favorite non-ksu players going against each other. Rooting for the 'hawks since they stopped me from dealing with as many obnoxious Broncos fans last year.

A Gronking to remember!

Also, TSC.

The ethical thing to do is to root for the Seahawks (sEMAWks).

Gronk tho

Gronk gronk, Gronk Gronk gronk, gronk. Gronk gronk Gronk gronk.

The Seahawks are the greatest collection of personalities on one team since the JYCs/Adoracats.
Gronk is welcome to join when New England cuts him.

I am rooting for some numbers in a Jeff Kreuser convoluted gambling pool. Does anyone know the ground rules for this thing:
SEA numbers (ones place)- 1,7,2,0
NE numbers (ones place)- 5,8,6,4
Not sure if they are ordered pairs (like only the sea/ne numbers go with the same ne number) because they were given to me that way.
Any insight?

I have Patriots 4 and Seahawks 6. Get $400 for hitting it at the end of a quarter or $100 for the reverse (Seahawks 4 Patriots 6). I assume yours is similar, you buy a square, so it is in ordered pairs.

It's only stupid because it didn't work. That's a pretty safe route. Just a tremendous defensive play.

I think the logic says you run Lunch.
But I get Pete's explanation too. They came out with 1 back and 3 wide and the Patriots stayed with their goalline defensive personnel. You have man coverage, so the pick made sense. New England's rookie corner made a heck of a play.
Still, I probably give the ball to one of the best short yardage backs in the game.

But I get Pete's explanation too. They came out with 1 back and 3 wide and the Patriots stayed with their goalline defensive personnel. You have man coverage, so the pick made sense. New England's rookie corner made a heck of a play.
Still, I probably give the ball to one of the best short yardage backs in the game.
Is Lynch the best offensive player in the history of that franchise? Largent and Craig were good, but Lynch might be the best they have ever had.

Yes, this is true. It was a great play by the corner.
However, the read was pretty easy once he recognized the pick. When a pro corner sees tight receivers by the goalline, the read is pretty easy, it's just a matter of jumping the route and making the play. The guy did.

Yeah and a less worst case is one run that runs a bunch more clock than intended and doesn't score, leaving them to use their final TO to set up final play.

wrong. both teams had one time out. also, the argument isn't hubert vs lynch. it's ksu running game vs osu against seattle running game vs new england. ksu ran for 276 yards that game and averaged 5.4 yards per rush.
also my opinion is no crap both teams should have ran it. i was just setting you up with the good play call just didn't execute bs.

Makes some sense, but with that result they will never live it down.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell says he made the play call that may have ultimately cost his team the Super Bowl with the game clock in mind.
The Seahawks had second-and-goal at the New England 1 with 26 second to go Sunday, but instead of giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch, Seattle ran a slant route intended for Ricardo Lockette that was intercepted by Malcolm Butler in the 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots.
"We were conscious of how much time was on the clock and we wanted to use it all," Bevell said. "It didn't turn out the way I hoped it would.
"Of course I can say now I wish we had done something different. There are 20 different things going through my mind that we can do. If you run it that doesn't mean you would score on that play."
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said they made the call based on the New England defensive formation.
"I told you what happened," Carroll said. "We were going to run the ball in to win the game, but not on that play. I didn't want to waste a run play on their goal-line guys. It was a clear thought, but it didn't work out right. The guy [Butler] made a play that no one would have thought he could make."
Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin said the game "shouldn't have come down to that one play."
"I think we all were surprised,'' said Baldwin when asked why they didn't give it to Lynch. "We still had a timeout and felt we should take a shot. I don't know man. I'm just trying to make up an explanation. Everybody is going to want to blame something or somebody."
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said they had executed well in that position throughout the season.
"I wasn't surprised," Wilson said about the controversial call. "We've done a great job in those situations all year."

That makes no sense, actually. The correct answer is "I called the play that I believed gave us the best chance to win the game, and it simply didn't work." Nobody throws a pass they expect to be incomplete so they can run the ball one or two plays later. That's just stupid.

That's an interesting statistic. Maybe Pete Carroll should have used that instead of "we wanted to score with Lynch on the next play." At the very least, somebody should have told Russell Wilson he wasn't trying to score there. He could have thrown the ball out the back of the endzone.

I'm not saying it makes complete sense, but based on what I've read from both Carroll and Bevell a big part of their thought process after the Kearse catch was to score, but not to leave Brady and the Patriots enough time to drive for the tieing FG. With this comes the over-thinking that is common with coaches and play callers at all levels. Here's my rough interpretation of what was probably going on with the Seattle coaches after the catch.
1st down and a little over a minutes left after the catch, Seattle comes out with 2 back I formation with 1 TE and 2 WRs. They run zone/lead to the TE side which gets them inside the 1 and runs clock. Sure, if they score they are happy, but this was probably their ideal result from that play. After the play you have a little under a minute left and the ball inside the 1 yard line with 1 timeout. In their minds they probably had an ideal scenario where they could score, but leave the Patriots with under 30 seconds and they were probably hoping for under 20. Granted, now the play calling process becomes more dicey. The danger in staying with the same personnel and running the ball again is that if you are stopped you end up using your final timeout with around 20 seconds left. Then you are probably stuck with 2 passing plays (even from the 1 yardline) to end the game because if you run again and get stopped, then you run out of time. All of this may sound like a dumb thought process, but I guarantee you these types of things were discussed between Carroll and Bevell during this time.
So now its 2nd down and goal from the 1. Because of the 1st down play, Seattle is able to run the clock down to under 30 seconds. They sub out the fullback and insert and additional receiver, but NE keeps the same goalline personnel. Once they saw that New England didn't really change their personnel and kept numbers at the LOS the quick slant/pick play was ideal. I'm sure its something they've gone to in goalline situations a lot. In theory its a very safe play because a) you won't give up a sack and b) you shouldn't give up an INT because even if NE plays it well you throw an incomplete pass. Then you have 3rd and goal from the 1 with around 20 seconds left and a timeout, so you have your full goalline playbook available. I would also guess they had 2 plays called or an easy check based on how NE lined up. When NE lined up with man coverage and 2 DBs over the 2 receivers this call was a no brainer. If NE had lined up 3 DBs over the 2 receivers, then you run the ball because you have numbers inside the tackles or you go to the opposite side where the TE and other receiver are lined up.
Butler simply read the rub/slant and broke more quickly than Wilson anticipated and beat the receiver to the spot. It really was a phenomenal play on his part and great coaching/anticipation of the routes. Carroll and Bevell thought the possibility of Butler making that play was very remote if not impossible. Sure, they thought there was a possibility they might score still giving them the around the time they wanted to give the Patriots (less than 25 seconds), but worst case scenario would be an incomplete pass. Then they could go to another power formation and run Lynch, using even more clock and winning the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion.
-
The goal-line offense had been trash all season; there'd been recent success in shotgun zone-read stuff. I'm guessing that's what they wanted to run and put 3 WRs out hoping it would open up the middle a bit. Not surprising to most of us that NE didn't fall for it. Switching to a pass play upon seeing NE didn't fall for it isn't horrible, but that pass play only having one receiving option and that option being to throw it into the teeth of the D that you were trying to avoid running into is the WTF.
Our 'hawks don't seem to have the "defense on their heels, hurry up to the line and smash it in w/a simple run" play.

Yeah, I would guess they checked to the slant/pick. I'm pretty certain Wilson moved Lynch over from his right to his left before the snap, so I assume it was a check to the pass play.
The "smash with a simple run" would've just been to line up and run the play they ran on first down. I just think they were thinking of the possibilities of if it didn't score and having to burn their final timeout.

The possibility of having to burn their final TO if it didn't score only existed b/c of the time they ran off between 1st and 2nd down. I'd have preferred the 2nd down smash run have been run asap after the Lynch got to the 1-yard line. If NE would have then won the game down 3 w/40 seconds left, 'grats.

That makes perfect sense, but I'm certain that after being destroyed by Brady the entire fourth quarter, they were playing the game to leave him as little time as possible. Especially after Lynch got inside the 1 on first down. They got burned for it.

Yep, the D was decimated by that point. Could've easily turned into the worst 40 seconds of Simon's life.
The call just capped off a horrific 4th quarter.

Yeah, I'm sure he had no input with the Super Bowl on the line.
Either way, neither he or Bevell are going to come out and say "we had no faith in our defense to stop Brady, which is why we ran 30 seconds of the clock between 1st and 2nd down, and put ourselves in a situation to call a pass play."

The funny thing is had Seattle scored on the pass or even scored on the next play with Lynch, everyone would be questioning Belichick and why he didn't call a timeout after the 1st down run. Many would even be questioning why he didn't just have his defense let Seattle score, so Brady could at least have a shot to tie the game since the Seahawk defense hadn't come close to stopping him in the fourth quarter.
-
It is nice that Lynch is getting the attention he was desperately craving.
-
Meh, I don't have a problem w/ Lynch. I think it's stupid the league makes them talk anyways. Honestly, I think he has anxiety issues with the media. Not like Sproles, but maybe in a different way.
-
I think Lynch knows exactly what he's doing. And I don't really have a problem with that.

If only someone would have told him about the league rules before he got those huge checks to play football.

If the NFL didn't require players to speak to the media how many would volunteer to do it? And he didn't seem to have anxiety issues in the Conan video. :dunno:

IDK. Just spitballing here. I do think several players would volunteer to speak tho. Yes, I'm very aware of their contracts that they sign, 'stone.

Yeah, Belichick should have used a timeout. That was poor coaching. He shouldn't have just let them score, though. Tom Brady or not, there was less than a minute on the clock, and they would have been down 4.

I'm not advocating that they let them score, but it was even brought up by Collinsworth during the game.
Also, they would've been down 3 because they were up 28-24. Seattle almost certainly wouldn't have gone for 2.

Also jumping offsides with the pats one the one and then brawling was pretty WTF

Jeremy Lane getting Travis Green'd was ultimately the death blow.

I finally unearthed some keystone light in this town yesterday on my game prep run, and switched over after finishing the last 2 fancy beers I had at my place. It was good luck for a while. :frown:

The Chiefs stuffed Lynch on two drives at the goal line with the game on the line in the 4th when they played in KC in November, so saying that Lynch is a sure thing is kind of ridiculous. Jamaal is a better goal line back (and its not close). A read option would've been an interesting call.
All in all it was a fun game and reminds me why I watch sports.
-
They had what they wanted. Just a great jump (pre-snap read) by the DB

also Browner jamming the everloving crap out of Kearse

I don't think throwing was necessarily a poor choice, but I'm not sure a slant was the right option. Wilson's size combined with the boxed in nature of goal line plays made that a dangerous play.
Personally I would have run once more and then passed if that didn't work, but I think a roll-out would have been a better pass option, get Wilson in space where he can see better and potentially use his legs if nothing's there.
