Have to agree, just wow.

 

[TomPNE94]

That was just insane. Missy Elliot to top it all off. I could die happy now.

 

[SamScfc]

Been a great game, lots of physical play and both offenses have shown up also.

Yeah I felt like it got off to a slow opening, but it has been full of talking points, from Brady's throw interception right up the TD in the last 6 seconds.

I tweeted this before but it does show why you should stick with the NFL and not turn it off after 5/10 minutes.

Katy Perry aswell, 10/10.

 

[TomPNE94]

Fucking hell I love Katy Perry

More or less than Charli?

 

[kieran_vale]

Fuck, where the hell has this guy Matthews come from?

 

[RavenBish]

More or less than Charli?

Less obviously, don't you ever ask me that again. What if she reads this?

 

[kieran_vale]

Nice celebration on that TD Baldwin. Hint of Randy Moss there.

 

[kieran_vale]

This is going to be the longest 1:55 I've ever experienced right now. What a game whoever wins.

 

[Stagat]

That's unbelievable.

 

[.V.]

Why wouldn't you rush it there? Just why wouldn't you???

 

[kieran_vale]

YEEEESSSSSSSSSS thank fuck for that, after that miracle catch I thought we were being Tyree'd.

 

[TomPNE94]

What a fucking ridiculous call by Seattle there!

 

[Stagat]

That's unbelievable.

I was on about that catch on the floor! The play after was even worse.

Now brawling, jesus!

 

[TomPNE94]

Seahawks kicking off cos they've lost. Fucking c***.

GET IN THERE!

 

[kieran_vale]

Fucking amazing, what a game and what a finish. Made up to fuck with this.

 

[kieran_vale]

Goodell getting booed loudly there on the presentation, fucking good

 

[Mustard]

That was the first time I've watched a full NFL match. Was good fun. Even I know that was a crazy play at the end there from Seattle. The QB must have thought Lynch was off doing some interviews or something..

 

[kieran_vale]

Sherman you mad bro?

 

[Renegade]

WHAT THE FUCK?

WHY?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ON THE GOAL LINE?

Genuinely can't believe what just happened. Great Superbowl, but incredible amounts of what the fuck?

 

[Aberstone]

It was a shocking play call, on the 1 yard line at the absolute worst, Seattle should have called a QB Read play. The Slant was just too obvious however credit must be given to Malcolm Butler for making a break on the ball.

That was an awesome Superbowl - I also discovered that Gronk isn't the most articulate when it comes to giving interviews.

 

[Anon]

Like everyone, just didn't understand the lack of Lynch. Just cos everyone knows that's your best chance of getting in it, doesn't mean you do the opposite and negate your strength - with the massive break from Kearse's catch, make the Patriots defence prove they can stop you on the goal-line for at least 2 attempts of the 4 before wondering whether to throw instead. Collinsworth had it right that as Carroll you'd feel much better about running it 4 times and failing, than throwing a bloody INT without even giving Lynch a couple of attempts.

While we threw the game away against Seattle, really think Seattle threw away their best chance of retaining the Lombardi.​

 

[Bobbin']

After a fairly dull first quarter, what a Super Bowl that turned out to be!

I can't add anything on that final play but I reckon Seattle will be kicking themselves for the rest of their careers, absolutely awful play call.

Great game and I won £35 quid on a Gronkowski to score a TD and Patriots to win bet. Decent night.

 

[SamScfc]

Missed the last 10 minute cos I fell asleep, gutted. What a twat

 

[TomPNE94]

I was planning on going to sleep at HT but I just couldn't turn it off, glad I stayed up!

 

[RavenBish]

didn't watch any of it apart from the HT show. Sounds a cool game, might watch it.

 

[RavenBish]

Just watched the second half. Carroll should be fired on the spot for that final call, the worst call I've seen in my life...why?!

Seen people blaming Bevell but clearly in that situation the HC has the main input and there's no way you don't just keep yelling 'run it'.

[Kim Mitten]

Utterly superb Superbowl, up there with the best, had everything, of recent times it stands alongside Panthers-Pats and 'Greatest Show on Turf' and the goal line stand.

I too was baffled by the lack of Lynch, but more so by the lack of read option with Wilson. The times they dialled it up they got good yardage, but seemed determined to throw it as it much as possible and that last sequence! another 'miracle' play, then the INT, by a rookie!
I said before the drive to all still watching alongside me, this will end with a INT by Wilson, I said he might finally go towards Revis and regret it - got that part wrong, but Wilson was far too consistent beforehand. With Wilson you always get some terrible throws in a game, he's always been a lucky QB, seems to get away with loads of poor decisions, just felt he would finally get picked.
Great brawl at the end as well, how Gronk stayed on I'll never know, threw at least 5 punches. Can't remember the last time a player was ejected in a Superbowl!

Sadly got to wait till end of April for the draft and late summer before we get started again. have to turn my attention to the whole Suh saga now, which pleasingly seems to be heading towards him staying with the Lions.

Just watched the last 5/10 minutes of what I missed last night and fuck me that was good, I'm so glad I persisted with NFL, this time last year this game made no sense and I thought it was boring as fuck.

I may not be that clued up on NFL just yet but even I don't understand why you wouldn't run it with Lynch when you're so close to the end zone, aren't Seattle known to be one of the best running teams? Before that though the catch by Kearse was a fluke aswell.

But a great match and looking forward to the new season now where hopefully the Giants are in the mix for at least the Play offs.

7 month wait though, fuck me. When does pre-season start?!
