Yeah and for a second when they caught that ball on the ground I was starting to have flashbacks of 2008 again. I was just saying that these Pats are the most unlucky team of all time in the Super Bowl. But then the Seahawks made the most boneheaded play of all time at the 1 to seal it.
Got a tip for us?

Amazing, karma is something! The young man who intercept the pass was not a major recruit.
When I saw that amazing, scratch that, lucky catch by the Seahawks late in the 4th, I was sick to my stomach. Get slain by Eli and his mediocre team, come back 4 years later to exact revenge and get slain again by some of the same people, and then this, this, this weird catch. Yeah, Pats were headed to unluckiest of all time.
Ha, ha, and yes, then comes this interception.
That being said, many years ago the Super Bowl loser was stopped at the 1 yard line and lost:

Nothing in Super Bowl history was this close and this disappointing.
Boooourns.Champs. #patriots

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. You know I enjoy discussing football with real fans of any team. And now your team can keep it's title as Patriots kryptonite.
Now on to the mess that is the AL East.Thanks, man. I appreciate it. You know I enjoy discussing football with real fans of any team. And now your team can keep it's title as Patriots kryptonite.
Congrats!
I can't imagine the emotions you had in the last minute.
I still can't believe it. If i was a Seattle fan, I'd be digging a hole right now.
That ridiculous, ridiculous catch, ugh. I had Tyree PTSD and died and then was resurrected. I can't even properly express my emotions in those last minutes. Maybe later when I'm not a mess. What a crazy year, and a very satisfying end. See you all for the next go round.

On to baseball!!
Sounds like it
This play had nothing to do with it, ask Impulse, it was the spirit animal Tom Brady.
game clinching play at the end, but my hero tom brady threw 4 touchdowns
1st pick was an awful decision. 2nd pick was a good play by seattles d
yep

describes my emotions at the end. we'll win next year too
What a game.
What a horrible call, on the one, with Lynch in your back pocket..
What a play by Malcom Butler.
I have never been so nervous, watching a football game, when two teams that I wish could both lose. I honestly I didn't know who I was going to root for; the SlyCatPats or the TalkAlotHawks?
That was until the Pats started losing, and I realized that the Seahawks did not deserve back-to-back titles. They didn't deserve it, and it brought joy to my heart seeing Sherman cry. I know, how horrible. This guy talks SO much garbage(even to the cameras dring the Super Bowl) about individual players and he is all about "Me, me, me..." Maybe now, he will shut his mouth.
Football is a team sport and no individual wins an entire game by themselves. As you can see, Sherman was targeted twice in the whole game, gave up a meager 6 yards, but his defense gave up 28 points. I love watching self-serving players have fantastic games, talking a bunch of trash, and then losing... and at the hands of a rookie, no-name, corner that worked his ass off and never said anything about "me".
Priceless.
I'll probably never go for the Pats again, but kudos to them for playing a full 60 minutes in a great all-around TEAM effort.

I am sure you went through that all when Boston went four in a row to come back from NYY in 2004 ALCS. I was a mess, too from that game and on some level tonight and I am not even a fan of any Boston team though I did like Celtics back in the day.
That catch by Seahawks was like some Bambino type curse but I can't think of who the Patriots let go (Welker?) in order to deserve this level of punishment. For a few moments after that catch, it felt like the 7th level of hell. Brady looking down looked like a doomed man headed straight to you know where. I started to pray for Brady right then and there, man.
Being a Niners fan I know what it feels like to get bitch slapped by the Seahawks in the last few moments. And to see any team with Richard Sherman on it to be a recipient of a lucky play like that bobbling catch is intolerable to me and I assume all Niners fans. I could only imagine what rubbish he will say after the game had the Seahawks won.
I wouldn't necessarily say it was a bad call. Should they have given it to Lynch? Absolutely but that pass play was a good call, Malcolm Butler just made a great play - he was supposed to be picked but he anticipated the slant and it just so happened to be the WR/spot Russell was going to.
If it was a dead play right after the stop, no one to go to, then we can easily say it was a bad call but this had a chance - Russell didn't make a bad throw, the receiver didn't run the wrong route the DB just made a great play.
At the end of the day, this is experience gained by Wilson. Manning, Brady or Rodgers would audible out of that play but Wilson just doesn't have the experience like those guys do.

Everyone in my family was saying the same thing. Why in the world are you throwing the ball instead of giving it to Lynch?
It was a fantastic play, no doubt about it. But it was an awful call. Why, when you have Lynch, would you not run? When you have a timeout? With the Super Bowl on the line?
Yeah, it was a HORRIBLE call.

The offensive boss is going to loss his job I think.
Congrats. Seriously..
The game was handed to you on a silver platter.
Patriots deserved it.
C H A M P I O N S! ! ! not going to lie what a nail biter! I don't think i have nails let on my fingers lol
nope. tell me again how belichick threw 328 yards 37 completions (superbowl record) and 4 tds against the best defense in the last 3 years in the superbowl, also being 9/9 on the last td drive to put them ahead
Great game, I knew the Seahawks were scary good, they nearly beat the Pats. Congrats on the goal line stance. I like everyone else though really do question the play. Carroll's explanation doesn't really seem to fit, but in a sense its ancient history. They lost the Pats won.
