You can't blame the whole result on the poor guy who missed the on-side kick.  That was just one bounce that went the wrong way for someone, yet there were many others throughout in the game.  In a close game, any key play during the whole game that went the other way is as important.

Well said. It never comes down to one play. Everything together is the result.

We have a great neighbor and he's developed into my best friend over the years.

We booked a room at his hotel (The Motif, a high end hotel in downtown 1 mile from the field) on Sat night so we didn't have to drive to the game on Sun morning.
He told me to cancel it and he'd take care of us.

When we left he said "Be sure to call me when you get checked into the room!" I thought that was weird....

Anyway, we arrive, and they put us in the Executive Suite, complete with a bottle of wine and CHEESE plate (LOL!) waiting as well as chocolates basket.

It didn't cost a dime! What a great friend!

I predict Patriots 31 - Seahawks 21.


Just hoping for a better showing than last night. Pats put on a clinic but it was painful to watch. Heck, Vince Wilfork had enough energy after the game to pull a woman from a rolled Jeep on his way home from tue game...

Colts strength of schedule before the season started was 32nd. The easiest. I wasn't shocked by the Pats win or the score.

Green bay came in with an excellent game plan and kept Russell on his heals all day long...except when it counted.

Green Bay had a very tough road too to the Championship game with a 13th ranked strength of schedule.

Pats had the 10th and Seattle 6th places for opponent strength so that tells me it's going to be a helluva super bowl!

New England enters the game with the 13th best defense, Seattle with #1.

Seattle comes in with the 9th best offense and New Englad with 11th.

Two very good teams, the cream has indeed risen to the top. Well, our team's cream has BEEN at the top, as defending super bowl champs.  :devil

What is beautiful this year as it was last season is the naysayers (Fans, Media, Peers) counting the Hawks out when we were 3-3. And again when they were 6-4 in Nov. Then they said "Seahawks have the toughest 6- game schedule to finish the season...will be lucky to make the playoffs". The Hawks went on a 6-0 rampage and held opponents to 6.5 points per game. Any questions? LOL!

This is the sort of media reporting this team FEEDS on. I hope we're an underdog in the Super Bowl just as we were last year (+2.5). This team of players that have been developed has a chip on their shoulders and they play much better as an underdog.

Last I heard, it was an even shot for either team betting wise. I don't follow it though. As to early season, there were many grumblings that Belichik and Brady had "seen better days" and it was time for a new guard.
And I will lime either team for the sin in this one. Though I am continually amazed Pete Carroll has done what he has with that team. He was a nightmare in New England. Tore it up with whatever college thiugh, USC I think? Good for him, he seems a decent sort.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
