For me has been taken off the Packers Choke job by the "gutsy-ballsy" choke job of Pete and the seaurchins.
As much as it stings what could have been for us........... Imagine the sting losing in that epic choke of all chokes. Even Viking fans think it was a bigger choke then any of their previous chokes.
At least our choke job was a combination of multiple chokes. The Seattle debackled the hugest brain fart choke of all chokes.
Hard to breathe right now in the rainy city in "the great" NW

Doesnt really change much for me. GB has their bag of issues to deal with. Brooming Slocum was step one. Couple more issues to deal with.
I look at the SB as a benefit to GB in regards to competitive balance in the NFC in 2015. GB can look at its loss and it's pretty easy to see where things went wrong (ST, Hawk, 2-point conversion). The tougher part is MM's psyche in 2015. He overthought things before. My concern is he might actually regress after that loss.
Seattle on the other hand? I don't care what anyone says. If you have 3 plays to pick up 3 feet to win a Super Bowl and you'll never know if the best RB in football could have picked up those 3 feet... I think that loss is going to mess them up. The bigger turd in the punch bowl. Several players voiced anger that Lynch should have carried the ball. These are guys that have already been extended By Schnieder. While I agree with them about running Lynch that's a lot of voices essentially saying "WTF is Russell Wilson doing handling the ball" in that situation. So I wonder how it's going to go over in the locker room when Wilson gets $20 million per year.
Quinn going to Atlanta isn't going to be devastating because Pete's a DC by nature. But it's still change to a good defense.
FIDO!
Well, at least until Seattle backs up the Brinks truck. $22M per can go along way in scratching the baseball itch.
Well, his name is Russell Favre.
Here is an interesting read from H5's favorite website
Goes through some of the details of that final play
When your opponent is a "match-up" coach, you can often influence how they react with certain personnel packages. BB "knew" that if he showed goalline ( 8 defenders on the LOS) that Pete the Cheat would likely go pass over run.

By the way, did you know the french word "Peter" = fart ?
That is the stuff they do well. Their grading leaves a bit to be desired since it is extremely inconsistent.
As for the edge, there are only 2 things that can take the edge off. Maybe 3, (aka #5).

I'd give you a 7.01, since its Tuesday in North America
Now if we were in Ceskoslovenska, you'd get a 7.53
Sometimes 7.53 is slightly better than 7.01, and sometimes it is significantly better, and then again it might be worse. I do have the initials J. and A.
Its all relative...

Jehoshaphat Aloisius?
Except now we get to hear about what a ****in dynasty the Patriots are for the next 20 months years.
LOL
When my (now) 16 yo was in 2nd grade I'd stop by the school couple times each month for lunch. Told his friends my name was Jehoshaphat and that I was the head of the Russian mafia. Those boys still bring that up.
#imnotrussian
I would have been more scared of the 16 yo in my 2nd grade class.
Seattle's losing doesn't make me feel any better about the Packers ****ting themselves over and over and over and over.
And, Belichick not calling a TO after Lynch's first down run is still a worse decision than Seattle passing it.
Belichick = GENIUS! (notice correct spelling 
)
I can't believe you've all fallen for it.
The outcome was predetermined. That's why BB didn't call a timeout there - he knew how the screenplay ended. (damn, this tinfoil hat is hot today)

No!

What's worse: having to hear about the Patriots dynasty or having to hear about the Seahawks dynasty? At least with the Patriots there are as many detractors who say an asterisk belongs on their dynasty as there are supporters. Seahawks bandwagon fans have tucked their tails and aren't talking the kind of mindless sh*t they have been since their SB win. Also we won't see Richard Sherman and his ilk run their mouths, they've been humbled...at least for a while I'm sure.

Truthfully, I'd sooner read a Movies to TiVo thread than acknowledge either team's fanbase.
Mike Francesa just said that if you lined up the final four teams again he thinks the Packers are emerging as champs, says he thinks they were the best of the four teams. Didn't say if that was contingent on MM being on the sidelines.
The stupid call by the Seahawks, after the catch seemed to have saved them, screams that the string has run out on the luck the Seahawks were running on the past few seasons.

Like a "Peter" in the wind?

It was funnier the other way.

Well duh, is there anything about farts you don't know?
I think the longer Seattle waited to snap the ball, the more that confirmed to the Pat's defense that a pass was coming.
If you call a running play with 26 seconds left and 1 timeout, you limit your options on 3rd and 4th. Therefore it had to be a pass.
Kinda like trying to draw the Defense offside on 4th and short. If the play-clock winds down, they aint snapping it. Perhaps the jump that Butler got also came because they sensed pass all the way. If he is unsure, he hesitates and receiver beats him to the ball.
I fart in your general direction.quote:Well duh, is there anything about farts you don't know?
Technically it only limits 3d down. Since 4th and goal is the last down, you can do whatever you want with that one. But yeah, they dhouls have gotten the 2d down play off more quickly..quote:If you call a running play with 26 seconds left and 1 timeout, you limit your options on 3rd and 4th.
