Super Bowl 49
First, I didn't have a dog in this hunt. Didn't matter to me.
But Seattle blew this game. They had a running back..piling up yards, and get down to the 1..and waste 40 seconds..then call …a pass play? Are you kidding me? Hats off to Patriots from coming from a 10 point deficit to take the lead, but damn..what a stupid play call from the Seahawks.

The reception before that was one of the most amazing I've ever seen.
And not calling four runs in a row was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

I'm guessing Pete C will be replaying that one in his head for a long long long time

Pete is the first coach to win an NCAA title, a Super Bowl for his team and a Super Bowl for his opponent.

No dog in the hunt either... but play call not withstanding, that interception was amazing! 6 of 10 times that's an incomplete pass, 4 of 10 a touchdown, except that one time...

I agree….lost in all the criticism, is the Patriots defender made a great play on the ball.
IF..Seattle had scored, everyone would be raving about the gutsy play call, and how it was genius. I can understand trying to fool the defense, but they wasted 40 seconds, trying to figure a play to call. Didn't matter to me who won, I'm neither a Seattle nor NE fan. But..the way their RB was plowing through the line, I can't understand not running it, or at least a PA and roll out by QB, who possibly could have run it in. Oh the joys of being a Monday morning QB. No pressure.
