GB coach Mike McCarthy pulled a 'John Fox' with his ultra-conservative play calling. Here's a though Packers; How about sneaking a TE out in the flat or a RB out from the backfield, instead of playing 'neanderthal ball' with the failed RB plunges up the middle from the goalline? How about going after the wounded Richard Sherman? I can go on and on with other things too, but to keep it short, Pete Carroll CLEARLY outcoached Mike McCarthy.

I could really care less about Seattle and New England; Last year Seattle was 'cute' winning their title for the first time, now I'm over them with their brashness. I was hoping the GB would've won (like they should've) but their coach who is known to be aggressive, suddenly got pansy-fied with conservativeness and dumb play calling from the OC. The Cheatriots, do I even have to say why nearly everybody hates them? Now with Deflate-Gate following Spygate... I know that BridgeTroll had to be pulling his hair out.

I don't know I-10... there's 2 plays that stick out to me:

One, obviously, was the on-side kick f-up.  At the moment, you're left scratching your head how that guy missed the ball, and I still don't understand completely {cough, cough}.  As we learned, though, Bostick was supposed to block for Jordy Nelson.  That one huge swing is a perfect example of how one person missing/not doing his assignment can cause the entire group to look like complete asshats.  Just do your job.

The second is kind of more of the same, but it was on the 2-pt conversion pass.  The left defensive side did their job and hemmed in Wilson, who threw a horrible, rainbow pass across the field.  What in the hell was that DB looking at?



That ball hung in the air for about 2.1 hours and he was so out of position that he couldn't recover and allowed the Seahawks to go up by 3... 

Unbelievable!

I was physically sick... I almost threw up... >:( :'(
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Hahahaha... 

It won't make you feel any better, but I didn't have a rooting interest for either side and still threw up in my mouth a little.  Not so much on the special teams play, but on the 2 pt conv. I was in shock.

^^^I agree with those two plays (Haha's bad coverage on the 2pt conversion, and the onside kick) Notice that I said "I can go on and on with other things too". It's like ten fluky things had to go right for the Seahawks to win, and all ten of them came to fruition.

HC Dix was playing a solid game up to that point.  If you re-watch the play, he was in position to make a play on the ball but seemed to think at the wrong time and got lost trying to decide between playing the ball and hitting the receiver. 

I had already picked the Packers in my survivor pool, so I'm glad to see the 'Hawks in the SB.

I have just seen it happen to the Pack too many times... Favres throwing the interception to the Giants... The OwensOwensOwens catch by the 49ers... the 4th and 26 conversion by Philly sending all those teams to the Super Bowl.

Seems like GB is constantly paying back Karma for the Ice Bowl...

Karma you say?  You should go and re-watch the '97 SB and make sure that no one brought their pet goat with them for luck...  :)

If so... well....

ask a Cubs fan, lol.

Ah, yes the terrible terrible luck of the Packers. The pain of the last 20 years!  How do you live with your 6 NFC Championship appearances, 3 super bowl appearances, and 2 Super Bowl wins.  Oh the humanity!  I feel for you.
So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

Maybe you should ask John Fox & Jim Harbaugh about luck.  I mean they've did nothing but win with their teams, except for maybe the Superbowl....

Mayor of Glendale, AZ says that the city will lose money hosting the Super Bowl. This sounds like an unique situation out there in the desert. It's a shame, with such a nice stadium and all, you think that the city would be making tons of money. An issue like this certainly won't happen in stadiums 'in the city' vs a suburb. That Phoenix area is definitely a mainstay with Super Bowls, so my guess is that Glendale will get some kind of incentives in future SBs.

Greater Phoenix gets the benefit of the Super Bowl, but Glendale has to provide the local public services. Police, Fire, Traffic and crowd control. Drug and bomb sniffing. Full time terrorist recon with the FBI. VIP level security for politicos.

So yes, I believe that Glendale bears the expenses.

Boy, it's a major family feud in New Orleans. Saints owner Tom Benson will give control of the Saints and Pelicans to his wife after he passes instead of an original succession plan with his daughter and grandchildren. Burn!!!
