This is an amazingly sloppy ending to this game... holy fuck. And yeah, if there was ever any time for BEAST MODE, that was fucking it. Idiots.
I'm gonna print out a picture of Darrell Bevell's face, set it on fire, then pee on it. Then douse it in gasoline and set it on fire again. It was a hell of a game though. Congrats to the Patriots.
I can't put together coherent sentences right now, so fuck that. I texted my bosses "Dear Boss People, if the Patriots win, I'm taking a vacation day." Here is what I thought was going to happen. Seattle, 1:05 seconds left in the 4th. 1st and goal. Marshawn Lynch runs in for the TD, the Patriots let him in because they'll have 55 seconds and 2 TOs left. What happened just blew my fucking mind. Why would you throw there? Marshawn Lynch hasn't gotten less than 2-3 Patriot defender souls ever run, in addition to positive yardage. I couldn't believe it. Marshawn Lynch should have been treated like DeMarco Murray getting a million touches. That bobbled catch, fucking killed me, I was almost on the verge of tears. Then that throw, where Malcom Butler just pulled that interception. I lost my shit. My gf has video I hope never gets out. It's insane.
Even then, the defensive set and that motion resulted in Wilson one on one with a linebacker. Roll out left he walks in the end zone. The fail on Seattle's offensive coaching staff on not only that call, but why they don't hand to Lynch more with a 10 point lead, is epic. What a disaster. That's a top 3 all time bad play call right there. On an up note: Go Falcons! We got a coach!
Maybe I'm the only one, but I think Wilson changed the call at the line. I know Pete Carroll said he made the call - but I just can't believe a head coach in any league, including peewee, would do something that stupid. I think he's covering for his quarterback, because I can't fathom how this coach would have a job anywhere if he did things like that.
The real tragedy here is that we missed out on Marshawn Lynch being named super bowl MVP and having to do those interviews.
The real tragedy is actually having to hear Malcom Butler talk. He's a Patriot hero, I'm very excited about the play he made. He's not Richard Sherman when it comes to his speaking ability.
I like Barnwell, but there isn't any way to defend that play call unless the intended receiver was Jimmy Graham. That was a fantastic play by Butler. But, the way Graham positions himself on that type of play? No way Butler intercepts that. (And, of course Collinsworth would've immediately tell us how Graham's basketball background for boxing out made that work.) The other thing that picture in Barnwell's article shows? If you don't hand it to Lynch, then use his route as a decoy and
Collinsworth has to be one of the worst announcers for any sport. Holy shit. I just want to punch him in the mouth every time he talks.
Not saying anything that hasn't been said in the last page or 2, but how in the fuck do you have a rb with a name of beastmode have it 2nd and goal and not give it to him.
It's very therapeutic to talk about it, even if you're repeating a theme. I don't even root for the Seahawks or anything, normally. I was rooting for them in this game, because when you invest in the playoffs / championship games in sports, and "your" team is not there, the fun of watching is picking a team. And, dammit, if I didn't invest in that game. I felt like "I WATCHED THIS WHOLE DAMN GAME AND SAT THROUGH TAMPON COMMERCIALS ONLY TO HAVE PETE CARROLL FUCK UP MY NIGHT?! BWAH." After Kearse's catch, the run up to the interception, this is how I felt:
Quoting my friend last night: Every time he speaks the room white-knuckles. I think they are worse than him, but he still sucks. And I'm disappointed in the lack of Kraft kissing his players (and them kissing him back). Isn't that sort of his thing?
Yea, and after that amazing catch were it bounced off his leg then into his hands. Oh and I watched the game with a house full of little kids. It was my wife's best friends kids 1st birthday. I just about blurted out some very obscene language in front of some little kids.
