New England Pats Super Bowl champs

Because I hate the Seahawks quite a bit, I'll add that they had an awful lot of dumb luck go their way the last few weeks, so it was bound to run out eventually.  The Pats four touchdowns and reasonably good defense throughout most of the game wasn't luck.

Congrats to Brady, Belicheck and the team.

No dog in the fight for me however it was a great game. Good for football fans everywhere. Disappointed in the fight at the end. I did have to smile a bit when they showed the golden boy of coaching Pete Caroll's face after the pick. What were you thinking Pete? Not a fan of the guy.

Dumb Luck??? Really???? The "dumb" part is certainly on the Seahawks. To put the ball in the air, that close to the goal line is beyond dumb! In the end the better team won!

Well I liked the outcome.  Tom Brady's face looked like all of ours when that pass was intercepted.  Great game.

It really was not a good call.  Here is my reasons why it was a screwed up call.  Lynch just ran the ball 4 yds to put you at the 1 yd line. You have 2nd and 1.  With the end of the game, you now have the rest of 3 downs to use. So all you need is 1 yd. in 3 downs.  You move forward, not backwards as in a shotgun formation at the 5 yd line.

Lynch is one of the top running backs in all the NFL.  Lynch just ran 4 yds. Lynch was carrying Patriots with him.  That is why he is called the Beast.  He is harder than heck to bring down.

Now most teams that have a great running back whom is having a good game, is gonna let the running back run it in with such short yardage.  If you do decide to pass and it is 2nd and 1, you toss it to the outside near the sidelines, IN THE ENDZONE.  On 2nd and 1, you gonna pass, you take a low risk pass not near defenders,because anyone defender close, you can toss it out of bounds and be safe for 3rd down.   Not only was the Pass Call a bad idea.  But the type of Pass Call, is what made it the worse call.  A high risk pass in the middle, not in the End Zone(Automatic Score).   And from the Shotgun, where there is no disguise of even a fake run and pass.   

If Lynch fumbles, then that is how it goes.  No 2nd guessing on my part, because he is the best option, other than my 2nd option toss in end zone to outside.  But I go with my 1st option all 3 downs, or even a QB sneak, because you are moving forward.  You tried to get in.  Make the Pats stop your best offensive weapon. 

It was so bad, it is instantly recognizable as one of the worst play calls ever in the Super Bowl or in Football.

It was a great interception. But the call was more shocking for some, than the play.

Dumb luck is how the Seahawks got there in the first place. That onside kick vs. GB.
History shows us that Packers can beat Patriots in SuperBowls (and in the 2014 season).

I stand by my comment, especially now that Pete the Cheat admits to calling the play. The last 2 minutes were like a playground scrimmage with both teams trying anything in their book. I know you Patriot fans feel this is a great accomplishment, but it was a bizarre ending created by a ludicrous play call. It's easier to see it that way as an outsider. The headline news was about the pass play call, but had the Seahawks punched it in the uproar would have been about the Pats letting time run off the clock with a timeout left! Woulda, shoulda, coulda, I say the luckier team won in this case.
