Thankful that Stafford had a terrible game the same day Luck decided to **** on the coats. Yikes. Still, barring a miracle the Bounties league championship shall be mine!

Seahawks! Stunning win. Unbelievable. Cannot believe Wilson shook off 4 INTs to pull it out through the air.

If they had played HALF as well in the first half it wouldn't have even been a close game. It was one of the most incredible and impossible comebacks I've ever seen.

That was the DUMBEST play in Super Bowl history. Game over. Goodnight. :evil:

You all say that after the fact. What if he had caught it? Give the dude a break. Great play by that DB.

Go pats! Honestly just glad the city will be so happy this week. Good game, good halftime show. Nothing for me personally to be upset about. Time to focus on college bball.

Seriously. I'm a Saints-then-Seattle fan, seems to be a lot of those (I was doing it before it was cool!). If it were Drew Brees throwing that ball... it would have ended differently.

Coulda', woulda', should'a...

I think it turned out to be a great game, and I disagree with the know-it-alls announcing the game. Everybody wants to second-guess everything and every decision. Pah, it was a great game because I didn't fall asleep! And it was mercifully devoid of any politically-motivated hackneyed demonstrations or editorials (at least the parts I saw); what a relief!

Was rooting for Seattle, oh well. Halftime show was pretty good except for Missy Elliot. Katie Perry is a good looking lady and she sang well. The special effects at the beginning were eye-opening and also had a bit of a Cirque du Soleil feel.

If he had caught it I would have said, "Good catch, but that was a DUMB play call!" When you have the league's best running back, have 3 tries to get ONE YARD, passing up the middle is about the dumbest thing you can do.

At least I can understand how Green Bay fans felt 2 weeks ago. Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

What if he had caught it? He gets jacked up and possibly fumbles/ball pops in the air. Inside slant with 8 guys in the box from the 2? It is why you see corner fades on that part of the field. Give your guy a chance to catch it without letting the defender have a chance. Look what the Patriots tried down there, outs to Edelman. And you have a great running game to boot? Wow, just wow.....

It was a good play by the DB, but it was also a gimme, he just stepped up and caught a pass thrown right at him. It is even hard to fault Wilson, looked like a timing route (still some his fault, though). Good game marred by an incomprehensible play call at the end.

You never, ever throw throw inside on the 1. You throw outside.... so it can't be picked off. Anyone thinks another quarterback would make that throw is delusional. That is a high risk /passreception no matter who throws it. It could be possible.on fourth down, but.2nd down is unconscionable.

And did we ever!

Yes, I can use "we" when talking about the Packers. The letter that came with my share of Packers stock said so.

I had 4 and 4 in the squares pool. $500 later, I still don't care who won the game. I won.

Wife had 8 and 4 in her office pool (my office too small, plus whole state worker thing), but the wrong way round.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.
