No, we will see Patriots crap all over the place, the hipsters have just begun.The Hipsters have been defeated
It is a good day
Seriously??? Any team that calls a play that stupid when they had the game handed to them deserves what Seattle got.
Steal or not, cheat or not, let's wait to see what happened with balls in AFC game. But this was clearly the error of Seattle going with pass instead of run. The SB was handed to New England, yes. But let's give credit to the heroes of this game who was the New England defense.
Everybody played on average like they usually have done all year, as mentioned, but of the two Os and two Ds, the Pats D put that extra in there to win.
It was a bad play call by Seattle but still not an easy interception. Like the announcer said, Seattle failed to realize that the Pat's D practice ALL YEAR LONG. Before Belichick was the all around great coach he is, he designed the wall like defense of the New York Giants with Lawrence Taylor.
This was no accident, but a defense ready to take opportunities where it can like Belichick's New York Giants defense of old, and his current defense of the underrated Patriots. I think from now on, nobody is going to underestimate the Patriot's defense. They sacked Russell Wilson, who could usually outrun anybody, three times.
And Larry Bird is mine, but you didn't watch this game, did you??
Let me break it down, good plays, slumps, more good plays, lucky plays, unlucky plays, but the NE defense has this guy, #21, well nevermind.
You have a great running back who never quits, and you thrown a 1 yard pass?!! Lord have mercy!
This play had nothing to do with it, ask Impulse, it was the spirit animal Tom Brady.
Brady did not even play his best today. IMO, Wilson played better until the very last play.
I didn't have a favorite team. i just wanted to see some good football.
The call to throw the football at the 1 yard line was not what I consider good football, especially with what was at stake. If the coach made the call, he should be fired, in my opinion.
I'm seriously already over this nonsense.
There's no evidence to suggest the Patriots had any advantages from deflating footballs.
Things come around. They should have demolished the NY Giants, twice in fact.
If karma, or lady luck is a part of it, the Pats have another Super Bowl win headed their way.
Just like you saw two Super Bowl games where the brilliant John Elway should have won but there were some extremely unlucky breaks and Denver lost, but on the long term his career saw him dwindle but then have this dude of a running back to help things out.
You can't have back luck forever, as it had seemed with NE for nearly 10 years, and sometimes the "other guy" has bad breaks. Tonight was that balance. Statistically, given enough time all teams will be very close to having an overall .500 record with very best team being only slightly better than worst team.
I am glad Tom Brady stayed long enough to see thing roll around his way. He was spending those last precious few moments on the bench at the mercy of Seattle near the goal line, head down realizing he had lost, again.
It would have to be luck, but considering the two previous Super Bowl disappointments, luck (or chance) had to be on his side. That's why you never have an MJ who can say he never lost a game on last shot, or you can never have a NYY who can say they won every World Series and have around 40??, or a great Tom Brady who is going to lose every Super Bowl after the three he won early on.
Sherman, Beast mode, Wilson, Brady, and Gronk aside, let's give some kudos to #21 of the Patriots. No mention of him, what did he do, go shoot up an elementary school or something? I don't get it.
Even if you hate the team, you have to give tip your hat off to that interception. I don't like the LA Dodgers and see how they slay my Giants when they come to town, but it's still stunning and amazing to watch Clayton Kershaw, right?

The Giants outplayed the Pats both times. I still think Brady is only as good as his coach.

Deflated balls causes less wind resistance when running.
