Gotta agree, before first down I said they run Lynch 4 downs and they will win the game. Terrible call.

One of the best Super Bowls I've seen in a long time regardless of who was playing. That's how a Super Bowl should be.

Pats were very successful through 3 quarters except for a few long completions, especially that insane one to put them on the 5. They could have done better to constrain Lynch but no one else has either. The guy is on another level.

Carroll over-thought that play and tried to be cute and he paid for it. If Butler hadn't picked it off and they scored, Carroll would have been called a genius because he outsmarted Belichick.

Getting another 16" of snow here and have a gigantic smile on my face. Go Pats! That was awesome....I won't have a voice for a few days but I don't mind.

Not sure what all the hype is about. It wasn't a bad call, it was just poorly executed coupled with an exceptional play by the defensive back. This past season there were 109 passes thrown from the one yard line, 67 went for a touchdown, 46 were incomplete and only one interception which was Russel Wilson's in the Superbowl.

In contrast there were 223 runs from the one yard line, 130 rushes scored a touchdown while 93 rushes failed to score. That means that 61% of passes from the one yard line resulted in a touchdown while on 58% of runs resulted in a touchdown.

I look at it as more of a team sport. If the so called "Legion of Boom" lived up to their own hype of being the greatest secondary in NFL history, they wouldn't have given up 320+ yards passing and 4 touchdown passes to Tom Brady.

Hey Greg, totally disagree, Lynch is the best in the game with strength, and at the one, you play the odds. Yes i agree with the stats (based on a reliable source), but ya gotta use the best tool in the drawer for the job....And yes i do agree, they couldn't stop Brady all day, short and out, seems to always win games imo. Just get first downs. Also, wheres the stat on possession? The Pats dominated that too....I do believe the better of the two teams won (on any sunday right?) and i do believe they both got lucky in the remaining plays of the game....

I dont like either the Seahawks or the Patriots, but glad the Pats won, they were the better team and got there by playing well.

Seattle had been catching break after lucky break on their way to the Superbowl.

Who calls a slant to the slot receiver against a jam packed goal line defensive box?

They had Lynch who had been dragging patriots left and right, and that tall wideout Matthews jumping over every patriot CB

to me it should have been the Packers or the Cowboys vs Pats, but thats a shoulda woulda coulda type thing

But, I don't like either of them so it's a moot point to me. I'm just glad "my team" beat both of them, and one REALLY BAD!
