The most interesting last minute of football ever

[MannyGoldstein]

Three things rarely or never seen. In one minute.

The c-c-c-catch.

The dumbest play ever called.

Fighting.

Wow.

[randr]

1. SeaHawks grab defeat from the jaws of victory

[GummyBearz]

2. Yep

And Pete Carol's explanation of "we had 3 WRs on the field" was hilariously countered by Belichek's explanation of "that is why we had 3 corner backs on the field. If they had 2 WRs we would put 2 corner backs. If the had 1 WR we would put 1 corner back. If they 0 WRs we would put 0 corner backs".. I found that pretty funny.... even though I dont like the patriots at all

[neverforget]

3. Worst. Call. Ever.

[Hoyt]

4. +1. Caroll should have just said he was going to have a carotid and brain scan tommorrow.

Definitely the dumbest play ever, and his explanation was absolute BS.

[Aerows]

9. The strategy hippocampus re-emplant

should help if he elects to find a strategy.

[rufus dog]

15. the explanation made it worse

If his point was to have a throw away play to kill time then why run a pick play across the middle.

You roll our Wilson with the option to run it in OR only throw the ball to a single covered receiver at the back corner of the end zone. Anything else should end up in the bar behind the end zone.

The play called, pick across the middle, could have been picked off like is was, with the db getting the jump. Or the db gets a hand on the ball and gets picked by the other DB in the area, or it deflects off the receivers hands with the potential to be picked off.

In no case, absolutely fucking none, do you put Lynch immediately into a pass pattern giving the defense an immediate clue that run up the middle is off.

[Hoyt]

18. And then they have a commercial with Pete Rose. Makes you wonder.

[11 Bravo]

27. If they had gone read-option to the left, Wilson ...

could have walked into the end zone. (But they didn't, and I couldn't be happier!)

[lumberjack_jeff]

5. If you're Wilson, what are you going to do?

It's not like they have a good running back that can run 1/2 a yard or anything.

[MannyGoldstein]

10. LOL

It was mind bending.

[RiffRandell]

16. Thread winner!

[arcane1]

6. I tuned in mere seconds before the c-c-c-catch

Needless to say, everything I saw was exciting

[roamer65]

7. Go Pats!

They came back from down by ten to up by four, making it anyone's game. The break went their way on a nice interception of a lousy pass play call by Carroll.

[KamaAina]

29. Why did Belichick not call time out before The Pick?

Had the Sea Slugs scored, that would have left the Pats with precious little time to respond.

[JimDandy]

8. I'll just expound on that a bit...

The c-c-catch.

#21 punching that catcher in the gut when he stood up and no ref calling it.

The dumbest play ever.

#21 (who should have been ejected earlier) intercepting on the dumbest play ever.

Fighting hockey style.

[Agschmid]

19. Lol okay...

Get those glasses checked.

[JimDandy]

26. You must have been out of the room

when the replay was shown....twice. You're forgiven.

[KamaAina]

33. Butler did not punch Kearse in the gut.

The play was not dead. Butler shoved him out of bounds. Otherwise he could have gotten up and scored.

[JimDandy]

34. It was not a shove. It was a punch.

Except for the initial double replays right after the c-c-catch, none of the media has shown the replay again to the point where he gets up and is punched, so this has become moot. Everyone where I was who saw the replays commented angrily about it and fully expected the guy to be expelled.

[KamaAina]

35. Where was that?

Belltown? Redmond? Puyallup?

[JimDandy]

36. Eastern Washington.

Only two of us (brave) were cheering for the Patriots: a transplanted Bostonian, and for some reason, my son!

[KamaAina]

37. I knew it.

Busted!

Is your son in his rebellious phase, by any chance?

[Marrah_G]

11. Seahawk player that threw that punch is a poor sport

I hope they fine his sorry ass. It was embarrassing to see that sort of behavior at the superbowl.

[moondust]

12. Flukeball.

Wild.

[cyberswede]

13. That c-c-catch was something!

I'm blocking the rest from my memory.

[sakabatou]

14. I agree

Why the fuck didn't they run it in?!

[Recursion]

20. From a viewer's standpoint I think that was the best Superbowl ever

Even the bullshit time-wasting flags were dramatic and at the last minute.

[SoapBox]

21. That play...oh, that play...

Should go down in history as dumbest ever.

[C Moon]

22. If it would have worked, it would have been the most brilliant play ever called.

[MannyGoldstein]

23. I get your point, but

I think many would still be saying it was a stupidly risky play.

[C Moon]

24. I just love the positive energy and different style Carroll puts into the game.

You could even see it in Brady's expression after Seattle accomplished a touch-down instead of a field goal with 11 seconds left before half time.
I was disappointed Seattle lost (I like New England too, though), but I respect that last play call.

[countryjake]

25. Now Seahawks' fans should appreciate just how Greenbay felt, two weeks ago.

Jermaine Kearse batting that ball around reminded me of a cat playing with a mouse, that he managed to jump back up and get it on down the field was pretty remarkable.

After Marshawn Lynch got it to the one yard line, I really was envisioning Goodell handing him the MVP award. I'm more disappointed about not getting to see that than anything else and if we'd won, chances are Chris Matthews would have got the truck, anyway.

The scrapping in the end zone was disgusting to me. Our local news is oddly not doing much talking about that ridiculous display.

All in all, this game only resulted in one concussion, one broken wrist (or arm), and now Richard Sherman has to get Tommy John surgery for his torn elbow ligaments. I think such injuries are a real shame and why I will never enjoy watching much football.

[Baclava]

28. 100 million fans and players agree - stupidest playcall of all time

NFL players can't believe Seattle's final play call


Emmitt Smith
That was the worst play call I've seen in the history of football.😞

Deion Sanders
That was the worst play call in the history of the Superbowl!!! Worst QB decision Ever!!!!! Ever Ever! Naw I mean Ever!

30. The BEST image of the Super Bowl

[Grammy23]

31. A picture is worth a thousand words! LOL. nt

[Ykcutnek]

32. The only time sports gets my attention is when a fight breaks out.

That was the most fun minute I've ever watched of football.

I was disappointed to see it broken up so quickly.
