Forgot to mention the bad bad ref calls as well.
And yes, even though that was a offensive coach call the main coach said something after game that he was indeed, to blame.

 

Oh look, it's Green Bay all over again!

Patriots played defense to what came to them, and won it. Gotta give credit to the rookie Butler also, for reading Wilson like a book on that pass.

It went both ways. There were a lot of no calls, but what was called was pretty legitimate in my opinion.

Also, pretty sure there's no "Bill Beli-cheat" in that game. That was a hard-fought, deserving win with a bit of help from the Seahawks :p (remind you of the title game?)

 

The un needed unecessary roughness call was so idiotic. He pushed him out of bounds like he should have. Now, I have only played football for 3 years but I have never seen a call like that.

 

My team won at least. #GoCommercials

 

After reading reports today, it turns out only one of the Patriots balls was deflated, and all were fluctuating up and down due to the weather. I honestly believe that the Patriots aren't lying this time, rather, the media had to find something to make the Super Bowl interesting. Take the "lights out" at the Superdome a few years ago. People blamed the teams, and it turned out to be a "faulty circuit," therefore making the game more interesting to watch. Since the Seahawks blew out the Broncos last year, and ratings had tumbled since then, the media had to get appeal back up for the companies that bought commercials and for the NFL itself. You don't want to have terrible ratings for the biggest game of the year...

Actually, this time around, I noticed that Brady/Belichick were pretty good sports. They shook hands, were courteous, and interviewed properly with the media.

As for the two calls: Shane Vereen had already stepped twice out of bounds. That is clear evidence you are out, meaning you can't be tackled from that point on, else it is a late hit. Earl Thomas threw himself into him after the two steps, meaning it was a fair call for the officials. This is what I have noticed be called in my high school games, and pro games as well.

The call on Baldwin was ticky-tack, however, he was celebrating a bit longer than you should. Gronk's spike and chest bumps, or Chris Matthew's short pose were fine, but running around for a good 30 seconds celebrating isn't what you are allowed to do.

Even though I am a Packers fan, my hat goes off to the Patriots. Congratulations on your Super Bowl win, arguably one of the best games in Super Bowl history. For the other 31 teams: The preparation begins for next year.

 

Brady was throwing a fit in so many cutscenes. He was a fair winner but being a baby when losing.
Also, goblizz, if you have every played football, you will know that when running as fast as Thomas was, you dont just easily stop. With the adrenaline too, you just try to get them out. It isnt as apparent there on the field with a tiny view because of the helmet bars as it is on a huge screen played frame by frame.

 

Would you throw a fit if your team was losing due to simple mistakes in the biggest game of the year? I know I would.

And yes, I have played football. I've been hit in that way too. It's an iffy call for the players, but is usually called by the referees. Why? Because there is no real need to dive or jump at the guy when he's clearly out. Even running full speed you can stop, unless you trip. But Thomas didn't trip, he dove. Plus, Thomas has the wide view receiver helmet, so he can see more than a defensive lineman. And that is why it was called.

But, there's no point in arguing. I learned that after 2012's "Fail Mary". What's called is what's called, whoever won is whoever won. The Patriots won, and there isn't going to be much of a change.

 

Ya'll are just made cuz my patriots won. :p

 

I had 100$ on the game.
The main thing for me, is the horrible, HORRIBLE end play! Anybody who knows anything whatsoever about football knows you do not pass on goal line, not the the crowded mid, and especially with a good running back and two more tries on getting it right.

 

I like the no calls, they just let them play, and it made for a great game

 

Wow.. You guys like your american football eh ;)

 

Okay. I have probably understood...5% of that. Maybe less, idk. :D

 

Handegg*

 

Football (BPL) bros unite!!

 

It's called justice,
As the fluke catch should have never been completed, so pats won. Deserved it.
Happy for Brady and knew they would be the better team on the day

How Brady shredded the best defence in the league, you have to give him props for, Hawks will be back better next year though if they get some wide receivers

 

The real question is, why in the hell would someone throw a ball for one yard, rather than running it in?

 

I found this out today. Out of the 5 tries Seattle had run it with Marshawn Lynch on the one yard line, they were stopped 4 times, which would make a bit of sense as to why they might. But yet, it was still a bad call in itself by the way the Patriots were playing.
