Pats are a bunch of cheaters and the Pats didn't even win the game the Seahawks lost it.
So you're saying Butler didn't make a good play then?
No I'm saying they should have never thrown the ball in the first place. Lynch should have run it in for a TD. I don't even think it was totally at the one yard line.
So like I said Pats didn't win game Seahawks lost it.
I'm from the Boston and everything about the Pats organization makes me sick.
Quote:So you're saying Butler didn't make a good play then?
He made a good play and good recovery from a crushing play. It is just sour grapes. Believe me I'm not a patriots fan and don't have tremendous emotion invested in the Seahawks. I was disappointed in the play calling but those are the breaks.
I will agree that the Seahawks snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Happens sometimes and is probably some type of balance for stealing the NFC Championship game.

That's really dumb.
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Quote:IF you say so buddy.
So for a team to win a game, and the other team not lose a game, they have to make all good play calls. Otherwise they can say, we lost it they didn't win it!!
Sounds like something the LOSING team says to make themselves feel better...'buddy'.
You can turn it into an argument if you want to you believe what you want and I'll do the same if that's alright with you.
In my opinion if I'm allowed to have one is Seahawks called the worst plays ever called during a superbowl or any playoff game.
If the Seahawks would have run scored a TD the game would have been done no chance for Brady so yes Seahawks lost the game Pats didn't win it.
Quote:Calling it the worst Super Bowl play call ever is an exaggeration. Russell Wilson shouldn't have thrown an INT in that situation. Throw it out of bounds and you still have 2 runs left.
After reading Pete Carroll's comment that he wanted to waste the down to kill time I wondered why the play call was a pass from the shotgun. If Russell Wilson took the snap under center, took a five-step drop, ran a bootleg, and threw the ball away, it would accomplish that. But as it was I think Wilson should have thrown it away as soon as he saw Ricardo Lockette was double covered just to avoid the interception.
Quote:It was second down, taking a shot on a quick hitting pass play isn't terrible. Everyone in the world thought they were going to run it....it was bad luck, but thats the way it goes. I'm sure their thinking was if we miss it on 2nd we still have two more shots at the end zone.
The play didnt work out, it happens.
The problem is "a quick hitting pass play" does not have to be the one that was called. At the end of the first half, a corner fade was called. It worked, so why didn't they try it again if the idea was to get in the EZ in two seconds?
Quote:I don't have an issue calling a pass in that instance, especially since everyone watching was expecting run. I have an issue with the pass play that was called though. IMO a corner fade to Matthews, who was hot at the time, would've been the better option.
Absolutely. But I don't care who the receiver is. He could have thrown a corner fade to anybody and I would be happy.
It was an Apple / Microsoft hacking war gone wrong.

The explanation "they called the pass to eat up the clock" does not hold water. There were only 30 seconds left, they had a time out if a second-down running play did not score, and if all they wanted was a play to stop the clock, then Wilson should have thrown it away. Added all together it comes down to a very, very badly-called play. Especially, you know, Marshawn-fricken Lynch. Yes, I think we'd be saying it was a bad call no matter what the outcome was. It's simple logic.
...and for those of you saying "sour grapes", sure... we're not experts in the world of professional football.

Quote:Its easy to throw 3 yard routes and have your receivers push off for TDs and whatnot. And who needs a running game when you are throwing to the RBs out of the backfield 80% of the time.
I guess its so easy to have 15 play drives for TDs, people should just stop bothering to throw long passes. BTW, wasn't the last meaningful play of the game an int on a 3 yard pass? I guess Wilson can't throw em as well as Brady can.

Seattle's last drive in the first half: 5 plays, 80 yards, 29 seconds. You don't think the Patriots could do the same thing with a much better quarterback and two timeouts?

Not really. brady was not playing like a much better QB last night.

Throwing to wide open people in the flats and watching the defense whiff tackle after tackle is hard to QB. We need to trade up for Matiota. System QB
Quote:Not really. Brady was not playing like a much better QB last night.
Something else to remember is if the Seahawks scored, the Patriots could just tie it up with a field goal to force overtime. A long return and a couple long passes would get the Patriots into field goal range with a timeout to get the kicker ready.
