GDT: Superbowl GDT- Patriots vs Seahawks

[Nynja*]

Too bad because he made a ballsy call last week that paid off and did it again tonight. He actually seemed to be making all the right calls and looked like a genius...

Then came the last 30 secs of the game...

You can only rely on lucky plays for so long, we know all about this

 

[pepperMonkey]

Don't think that can be done. Clock is frozen on conversions. His play was good to run the clock down and 1 TO remaining. If he get's stopped on 2nd down, WITH A RUN, he calls timeout and leave himself one last final play to make it happen.

Ahh, you are right. Didn't realize the clock is frozen.

Its because the NFL breaks the bank for half time shows, they can fit clock maintenance into the budget.

Best Superbowl. Ever.

ugggghhhh

deflategate should really empanel a special prosecutor or at least a grand jury so much tainted taintedness

 

[GoodKiwi]

We just witnessed the end of a legendary defence

 

[groovejuice]

Pretty cool to see the guys hanging together outside of hockey. Signs of a real team.

Nice to see them showing up for one game today. Hehe

I read all the Carroll interviews and the guy's ego got in the way. He still thinks they made the right call. The guy is somewhat blaming his players for not executing HIS play. He lost the room for sure.

 

[David Suzuki]

That play call is something your idiot friend does in Madden. Unreal that they passed let alone in to traffic.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

What a game, great way to start the week!

Way to go Pats!

 

[Phil Parent]

If there are play reenactement in the next Madden, we know what the first one will be!

JUST HAND IT OUT TO LYNCH, STUPID
With the Super Bowl on the line, literally, on the one yard line, you have 3 plays to score and the best running back in the league. Will you take the right decision?

 

[ClasslessGuy]

The OC got caught in what he tought was a goal line formation cover 0 from the pats

 

[LaP]

WTF? Even I would have run the ball and I'm not even a big football fan.
Losing by 4, get a good drive up the field, then a miraculous catch that had no business of being caught...now 26 sec left, 1st down, 1 yard to go to win the super bowl with Marshawn Lynch ready to sleep walk into the end zone and what does the coach decide? To run the clock...Jesus... Get the bloody touchdown first...then if you want to run the clock do it on the extra point drive. Did he get paid? Because I can't see how anyone is that dumb...

Not a big fan of american football but i don't think he actually had to run the clock down.

There's was only 20 sec left as far as i can remember. If he gets the TD on first try you can remove a good 2-3 sec from that. If it requires 2 tries with a timeout then you can remove even more.

Yes you can score a TD in 17-18 sec but it's very hard and it requires some fails from the defense or at the very least some luck.

I don't think the pass was necessarily alone the only problem. I can't remember the play perfectly but from what i recall they did not fake a run or anything. Passing the ball so quickly in the middle on heavy circulation was kind of surprising if not totally dumb. If you really want to run the clock down don't try a pass like that. Try a lobbed pass close to the sideline that nobody can intercept. I think he wanted to surprise NE defense with a dumb unexpected play.

 

[Kachino]

Just imagine if Pete Carroll reacted the same was as Michel Therrien when MT was asked about why there weren't 2 centers on the ice for that important defensive faceoff vs the Dallas Stars

 

[TRG]

Just got up. Still can't believe they didn't give the ball to Lynch.

I think the Land Dancing Sharks distracted Carroll.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Darrell Bevell (OC) confirmed he called the pass and he is now putting the blame on the receiver....


I understand why he would call a pass in this situation (showing a cover 0 defense) Lockett would've been wide open in the middle, but it was not a cover 0, he got schooled by N-E's DC so bad.

I'm familiar with Darrell Bevell since I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan. That call reminds me of that game when Favre threw an INT in OT vs the Saints (NFC Championship) instead of playing it safe and try for a FG.

Anyways, it is what it is. He's going to live with that decision for the rest of his life. At least, he will have opportunities to win a Super Bowl again.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Seriously, though. After all is said and done, I can't stress this enough...

**** the Patriots.

I prefer the beach balls more myself.

How them Jets doing?

I see four. Which ones? :p

**** the Patriots. **** all Boston area teams.

To be fair, it was what, 2nd down? That play was still basically open if not for a tremendous play from a rookie back, and they still would have had two more chances to run it with Lynch if that gets dropped or stopped right at the line. Bad gamble in hindsight, since everyone and their dog knows the Beast is their main/most reliable weapon, but going after a rookie back on 2nd down when you're reading cover 0 at the goal line isn't the worst mistake you can make as a quarterback.

Might be Wilson's worst mistake though, I guess.
