over and over. Brady benefits from that.

Loved the intentional tripping the Pats got away with. Along with Brady's intentional grounding that didn't get called either.

That's the way the cookie crumbles. They hardly looked dominant. Refs lent a hand, as well.

They won because Brady picked apart the Seattle D and scored 4 TDs.

Refs had bad calls on both sides. Coaching error had nothing to do with anything. If they had ran, they would've been stopped at the 1 and lost that way.

That was a sure thing for Seattle to run in, but they made an error and passed. All the professional announcers say the same thing. Yet, here you are.

The homerism is too much for me. You should be celebrating you got off the hook in a very close game. Box scores don't tell what really happened at the end.

I still stand by my original comment about Brady, which is that I haven't found him invincible since the choke job against the Giants. Tonight was heading to a choke job, as well, but Seattle's coaching error bailed them out.

BTW, all the announcers, including what I'm watching now agree with my assessment. Just now, I'm listening to a replay with the announcer shouting, "Why did you throw the ball???" So you better get used to that line, because that's the REALITY.

Coaching error had nothing to do with anything.

Good defensive stand by the Pats in spite of crazy fluke catch.

Mostly though it was the unstoppable Brady and company offense against a wishy washy defense.

was intercepted. That's the reality, and it would have sealed the game for Seattle, who was ahead since the beginning of the 2nd half.

"Crazy fluke catch" -that catch was nothing but brilliant, and the fact that you have to denigrate shows how childish you are and how much you are just being manipulative.

Reality is that Pat's benefitted from a Seattle coaching error to pass the ball instead of run it.

like payback for the fact that there was scandal following Brady and the Pats that followed them around. That has been part of the news cycle and it has been widely reported everywhere. What you are doing just looks like payback for those legitimate threads about a reported scandal.

I'm sure Brady will be a HOF'er, but the manipulation in your threads show an agenda to what you are doing that isn't based on what happened by any reasonable standards -- even the reporters were dumbstruck by Seattle's coaching error, yet here on this message board, you are a Brady humper.

Meh.

Do you know who made it? Offensive Coordinator? Totally bizarre.
I still think the Pats dominated. Seriously. Stats matter. Who controlled the ball longer? Who had the most passing yards? Rushing yards? From what I've seen of the Seahawks, they seen to lack focus or conviction. The pray for the long ball, go for the big play instead of playing 60 minutes.
The Packers should have beaten Seattle. Seattle didn't win. But it all worked out in the end: 28-24 Pats.

and I really don't appreciate the repeated spamming like this when I simply made a comment a day ago in this thread that looked like trolling to begin with, so I'm sorry I didn't just leave it alone to begin with. It really reeked of payback and revenge for Ballgate and it's very childish.

NONE of your stats would have mattered had there been a running play with Lynch.

Here's more bullshit with stats: Brady had two interceptions. Wilson had one. On paper, it looks like Wilson is better, yet he had the interception that mattered. So much for bullshit stats.

Enjoy your squeaker win. I can't figure out why Pats fans aren't just grateful they pulled it out.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – They had three chances to go three feet. They had 26 seconds to win a Super Bowl. They had Marshawn Lynch.

They passed the ball.

It was beyond stunning, inexplicable even in the split-second that it took place: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson lined up in the shotgun and threw an interception to Malcolm Butler in the end zone and it was over. No repeat. No dynasty. No nothing. New England Patriots win, 28-24. Seahawks left with a lifetime of wondering.
