Super Bowl Really Was Super

The showdown between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks did not disappoint.

[@okrajoe]

Nice highlight reel.

[@nukkyakya]

I'll never forget this moment... Pats fans felt resigned to lose, and WHAMMO!! MALCOM BUTLER!! Thank you!! Holy cow, that was just clutch. I was jumping for joy too!

[@drewsmagicallegacy]

The playcall was correct. Why? I'll give you two reasons. ONE: Because as good as Marshawn Lynch is, he's 1 for 5 just this year on goal line TD's. TWO: Because if you rewind to last year's NFC championship game the Seahawks were practically in the same situation. On the goal line and they handed it off to Lynch who fumbled and 49ers recovered. Yes the Seahawks won, but you see reasons why. Trust me, if the pass was a TD, Carroll gets labeled as a genius because everyone thought he would run it in.

[@fulltiltfulltime1]

The play call was incorrect. Why? I 'll give you one reason. ONE: It got picked off and didn't work. The Pats new the play as soon as the Hawks lineup.

[@Shertana78]

That's a very intelligent assessment, without hindsight. I'm sure that OC made the same argument, but would admit, looking back it ended up being a terrible decision. With the loss and all. Of course, as a HARD CORE Pats fan, I think it was the BEST play call EVER! ;)

[@STANLEYPARANORMAL]

IN AUSTRALIA WE CALL THAT A HIP & SHOULDER MARK,...AFL...

[@yawgmoth6568]

Makes a good point, Brady has lead his team to four comeback wins in the SB. Montana is great no question but the SB was decided in the NFC championship in those days. Let's also not forget Brady walked off the field with like 2 minutes remaining after putting his team ahead in both SB losses too. This guy is ice cold. You cannot rattle him. GOAT

[@darinweeks9330]

Great game! Patriots are World Champs!!!

[@mrmark262]

New England won this game end of story!! Seattle Seahawks are off the map!!

[@docjames6902]

It's amazing listening to all the media empty suits saying it was a terrible play call. It was the right play call. It was called against the wrong team. A disciplined, prepared, smart team. Over his career, Lynch has had 36 carries from the opponent’s 1-yard line. More often than not, he didn’t reach the end zone. He scored on 15 of those carries, or 41.7 percent of the time. On nine of them, he lost yardage. Out of 39 players who got the ball on the 1 he ranks 30th in results.

[@12mstalia]

Thank You!!!..So sick of people trying to make the Patriots Superbowl win the result of a bad call by the seahawks - like they didn't deserve to win - They did..they came from behind 10 points and beat the Seahawks by sheer skill and determination...

[@joshuasperber]

Doc James " "Seattle had three plays to score a touchdown and, with 26 seconds remaining in the game, lacked the time (with only one timeout) to run on all three plays. The only question was when the Seahawks would pass, and it was entirely correct to pass on second down, as a second down run, assuming it was unsuccessful (as was Lynch’s earlier 3rd and 1 run), would have dictated a third down pass forfeiting any element of surprise. By passing on second down against a Pats’ defense playing run, Seattle had an excellent opportunity to win the game. And the odds were astronomically high that the pass would have ended in either an incompletion (stopping the clock, as they needed to do) or the game-winning touchdown. In fact, this season it has been statistically riskier to run from the one-yard line than to pass. As Grantland’s Bill Barnwell notes, “Before Sunday, NFL teams had thrown the ball 108 times on the opposing team’s 1-yard line this season. Those passes had produced 66 touchdowns (a success rate of 61.1 percent, down to 59.5 percent when you throw in three sacks) and zero interceptions. The 223 running plays had generated 129 touchdowns (a 57.8 percent success rate) and two turnovers on fumbles.” "Insofar as Carroll should be criticized, it is not that he elected to pass but that he should have called for a relatively safer pass, for instance either to the corner of the end zone or out of a bootleg. Nonetheless, the interception did not result from a coach’s decision but from a weak play on the ball by Seattle receiver Ricardo Lockette and a remarkable (and devastating if he had been wrong) gamble and play by Patriot rookie defender Malcolm Butler, an undrafted free-agent who reported that he had a “vision” of where the ball would go before breaking on and catching the first interception of his career." www.counterpunch.org/2015/02/03/the-corruption-of-football/

[@docjames6902]

Joshua Sperber We agree.

[@TheBarnabascolins]

Doc James So true, a carry on the 1 is never a given. To the people saying it was a bad throw, no it wasnt. The ball was thrown quick and right on target, sometimes the defender just makes a great play on the ball and the offensive guy doesnt see him coming. this was one of those times.

[@joshuasperber]

***** Fair point, butchtropic.

[@patriciafuger2503]

Outstanding, Exciting,Tremendous Football .... Super, Super, SuperBowl...

[@ktwheels44]

the Patriots did not cheat ok...... it is the league's fault for not checking the psi of the balls before the all important playoff game so please just shut up about the balls. Game over Seattle lost big time and epic.....

[@314isabeast]

I'm a Colts fan and I really wanted the Pats to win. Fuck all that cheating shit I just wanted to see someone beat cocky Seattle.

[@ktwheels44]

Yes sir.....those bastards are so cocky I developed a personal vendetta against them. That was perhaps the best football game I have ever seen in my life......

[@osh100]

one of the years most dramatic superbowls in years....

[@hwc3435]

0:27 One of the years most exiting super bowls in years? WHAT LMAO

[@SendooranSCAR]

[@moheganson]

Jesse Palmer was on the Bachelor! Haha

[@morganfeemon4499]

Jordan = Montana Kobe = Brady

[@danstevens1058]

For those complaining about that last play, "Are you not entertained!!?" .. Let it be, move on.. If you live in the past, you die in the past.

[@stonebrook2008]

The call is wrong not because it is a passing call instead of giving the ball to Lynch. The call is wrong because it was 2nd down with 26s left AND you had a TO in your pocket. Very simple, call a run play. If TD, perfect, if not, call a TO and run another two passing plays. It would give you the best chance to win SB.

[@alison8234]

new york Giants and the New England Patriots both have 4 super bowl wins

[@maryboyan3731]

Dont be haters. You lost

[@patriciolastra8412]

My cousin went to that

[@aintgotnoworries8974]

New England Has 4 Superbowl Wins! 2001 - 2007 3 Rings, Almost a Perfect Season * Accused of Filming other Teams = False Spygate = Fake 2008 - 2015 Better Winning Percentage than Any Other Team 2015 - Accused of Deflategate Deflategate = Fake THESE ARE FACTS!!!

[@tonys4250]

Had the Seahawks ran the ball and Lynch not make it everyone would be saying the Patriots were in a run defense why didn't they pass it. If Lockette would have made the catch and scored the touchdown everyone would be saying it was the greatest call ever made passing when the Patriots were clearly in a run defense.

[@nesseihtgnay9419]

go patriots...tom brady BEST quarterback EVER!!!!

[@ebw343]

The 2nd sentence of Brady's obituary will read: "Mr. Brady was punished by the NFL for being a cheater and a liar."

[@viperstrikes38]

Seahawks threw away that game (literall) why they didn't just give it to Lynch ill never know. At least they made it back to the SB a year after winning one

[@viperstrikes38]

Bob Schultz LOL. You seem to have experience with this.

[@largeshake9601]

I'm pretty sure they had 2 more plays, and you can't just say that. What if lynch would of fumbled, and the patriots were actually very prepared for the run, and didn't expect the pass. If it weren't for butler that would have been an easy touchdown, so don't pull that " If they would've run" Bull shit.

[@fishncapt26]

Lol great game and how good is Brady? So good that against "the best defense in football" and "thevbestv secondary in NFL" he set a super bowl record with THIRTY FUCKING SEVEN PASS COMPLETIONS and wow 37/50 that's seventy four percent against "the best defense and secondary in the game" in a super bowl....THATS how phukking good he is ! Second best ever the dude is correct joevmontana is number one bradys second on all time list

[@vanessaspikes980]

There using fake balls

[@Carmen-11211]

Why all the attention on Tom Brady ? When there were others players who did great and id it wasn't for them. Too they wouldn't won

[@JTDyer21]

The patriots didn't win, the seahawks simply gave the game away the last minute of the game. Everyone knows they should have let lynch run it in. What a complete waste of the season when they had the game in the bag. What a horrible, horrible, horrible play call when they had the game won. Idiots!

[@maxthomas5410]

John Dyer Actually, it WAS the right call. The stats back it up

[@johnstjohn1987]

John Dyer Say the exact same thing about the Packers then.
