and here we go...
No Super Bowl hangover for Seattle apparently...they really took the Packers out behind the woodshed.
It really seemed apparent to me, at least in this game, why a mobile QB like Wilson is the way to go now over a guy like Rodgers. It's just a whole other dimension that facilitates so many creative options within the offense.
Welcome back NFL. Hoping for a good rebound year from my Skins and an even better year for my Fantasy Team. :)

It's a long season. I remember when the Bucs tried to defend. They opened up the season with a 17-0 road ass kicking of the Eagles in their new stadium. Then were up like 35-10 on the Colts on MNF when Joe Jurevicious' knee collided with Mike Alstott's head and both players were lost for the year. Then the Colts got a few B.S. calls, won the game, and the season unraveled from there.
No doubt Seattle looks strong, especially at home, but they're a long way from repeating.
-
Agree 100%, it is very difficult to repeat in this day and age. But they sure look like the real deal.

Not sure I'd go that far. Wilson has been excellent, but he is the exception on mobile QBs, not the rule. For every Wilson, you have a half dozen Cam Newtons and RG3s. I'm biased as a Packer fan, but would still rather have Rodgers/Brees/Manning under center.
Let's also not forget that the Hawks sport the league's #1 defense, a speedy Swiss Army knife like Harvin, an offensive line that can block for more than 2 seconds, and a power rusher that gobbles up 8-9 yards per carry. I think even Christian Ponder would look good with that kind of supporting cast.
I expected a loss, but the lack of downfield passing from the Packers, terribly limited offensive line, and a concussed Lacy were huge downers for GB fans. I drafted Lacy in 4 leagues, so that's not sitting well in my stomach either. Ugh.
-
Agreed.
Every year we keep hearing about mobile QB's, but until Wilson none of these guys win Super Bowls. The Super Bowl winners are guys like Brady, Manning, Manning, Flacco, Rodgers, Brees, Roethlisberger, Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, John Elway...
Sure, some of those guys can run but they're not going to give you 60 yards a game on the ground. The Cam Newton's and Michael Vick's of the world don't bring home championships.
Russell Wilson has the benefit of being smart and pretty accurate to go with his mobility. He also has a suffocating defense backing him up.
-
Talk to Steeler fans about mobile QB's. Ben can move for a big guy but they'd take a healthy quality O Line to keep the QB healthy and effective all day over one who can dangerously get you yards running in/out of the pocket as it disintegrates like tissue paper. That may work in college ball better but the NFL caliber DE's and LB's are a different breed.
O-Line is the position you have to draft the best at to win IMO.
Not that speed and athleticism hurt, but losing a QB because he's out of the pocket trying to get the first down himself is catastrophic and quite possible every time he's off running around. :-\
-
Packers just can't seem to find a solid defense
-
And the Redskins just need an offensive line that can block worth a crap.
-
I'd just like to see our quarterback stop making rookie mistakes like throwing back across the defense when there is a broken play. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Cutler throw that interception since he's been in Chicago...
Oh, and a safety that can actually play the position. I'm starting to think that I can dust off my cleats and play better than Conte.

******' AP, what a ******bag

You know...after living through Kirby Puckett's fall from grace I vowed not to ever get that emotionally involved with an athlete again...and I haven't
What a ******* scumbag
-
This is just such a sad story all the way around. I'm no Viking fan, but I always respected him and thought he approached everything with class. So much for that. I'd be really happy to not hear any more stories about NFL players punching women or whipping kids for the rest of the season.
-
I can't believe Purple Jesus could do such a thing.

So how can you be that rich and NOT afford the tea that flushes your system? WTF?

Have to go with Tom Brady this year

Not a surprise that AP gets off easy.

For? ???

Yeah, but I was glad to see he didn't get immediately reinstated by the NFL. Vikings seem to be doing well in the run game without him - I'm not sure they'll want him back.
-
Packers v Seahawks yesterda was one of the absolute worst football games I have ever experienced. I would have preferred a 45-7 drubbing like the Colts got to the perfect storm Packers choke fest. As Rodgers said, this one is going to sting for a while...
Anyone excited to see Seahawks and Patriots in the big game? ZZZZZzzzzzzz I don't think I can make it through any more of Belicheck's scowl or Russell Wilson's tears.

I am.

Okay, so we're at 1 out of 316.1 million so far. Awesome.

I think anyone in Seattle and Boston area (New England?) is ecstatic. I was rooting for Green Bay, but they didn't play the whole game... the moment swung in Seattle's favor after the half and they hung on to it.
Just sounds like sour grapes, Justin. Sorry.
-
I'm not against the match-up personally. Two good teams... Seems better than last year's match-up was (and turned out to be, ultimately). I'm definitely not a fan of either team but as a football championship game, it's ok. Since I'm not vested in either team, I may put something on it.
-
Obviously I would have liked to see the Packers in there, but beyond that I just get tired of seeing the same teams win it. The Patriots are always contenders and I'm so tired of them at this point. Would have been a lot more interesting to watch Luck and the Colts IMO. On the NFC side, I would have loved to see the Cardinals or Lions finally get to the big game. Just not interested in seeing either SB team win this year.
-
Neither were teams I was pulling for, but I find the match-up more interesting than last year's was.

You're saying Seahawks/Broncos is less interesting than Seahawks/Patriots? Not a huge difference IMO. I don't like repeat performances, so not a fan of Seattle going again and there isn't a single team I wouldn't swap out the Patriots for. Maybe Oakland? Hopefully next year we'll get some new blood in the mix.
-
Yes. I think the Broncos aren't anywhere near the Patriots, as a team. I think it'll be much more interesting seeing Brady & Co. go head-to-head with the Seahawks D this year than what Denver had going last year. Denver was good last year (and this year) but I really feel this'll be a more competitive game from both teams.
Not that I predicted the drubbing Denver got last year by any means, quite the opposite. I think this'll be more interesting this year though.

I wouldn't count on too much new blood in the mix. All the parity that the NFL tried to establish with the salary cap went right out the windows when fantasy football took over and the league started favoring rules that promoted scoring and quarterbacks. Now you either have a really good or great one, or you suck and are looking for a really great one.
We'll get new blood soon enough, but it's probably more of a 3 year window when Brady, Brees, and Manning are all done. And even then it won't change too much year to year until someone starts making it harder on the QB's.
-
Wouldn't Wilson and Luck count as new blood?

Well, Wilson won it last year and Luck didn't make it to the Super Bowl, so...no as far as the Big Game is concerned. They are clearly the next wave of elite QBs though.

I think this just about sums up the super bowl last night...

I think I had more fun watching twitter reaction to the Nationwide dead kid commercial than I had watching the game... thought it was a pretty good/close game at least.
-
After they announced that Brady was the MP, my wife said that he should give Pete Carroll the truck since he was the true MVP of the game with that awful call at the end. I tend to agree with her...
-
Joe's finally got company!
-
Awesome Jeff. That commercial was indeed an abomination. Whoever thought that would be a good ad to run during the Super Bowl should be clearing out his desk this morning.
Second dude who should be fired was whoever picked out Katy Perry's wardrobe. Way, way too many clothes.
And then Pete Carroll. Oy vey!
-
That picture is hilarious Jeff. I was shocked enough to remember the ad at least, but not all that motivated to switch my insurance based on it. Great game overall. I love that Carroll tried outsmarting Belichek when he had the game in the bag. What a fitting end for the cockiest coach in NFL history.
-
Awesome Jeff.
That picture is hilarious Jeff.
Can't take credit for it, just saw it on Twitter last night and it summed up the night perfectly for me. There were tons - "Didn't get to watch Katy Perry because I died", etc.
Also saw a bunch with Peton singing, "Nationwide, your kids are dead" etc.
-
A sports writer in Pitt had one, "Peyton was heard mumbling 'Nationwide you've lost your mind'". I had lots of fun on the twitters last night too.
A good game... If anything it's kind of disappointing a **** the bed coaching moment decided it that way but it was a game that had a good bit of everything to it. Good game all around though.
-
BTW those halftime sharks were cool as hell. I bet JediMAC (RIP) watched those with much enthusiasm. Land Sharks + Katy Perry *******. That's a good show.
-

Well that's going to be whoever is in charge of that company... CEO, Board of Directors. Super Bowl ads are such big money they're approved at every stage by the top in most cases.
As for the came, big thanks to that dude who intercepted the pass at the end. He won me $200 in our office Super Bowl Squares pool.
-
The game was good, the rest not so much. HORRIBLE commercials, even worse than the crapfest we got last year. Halftime show was pretty meh. Street Sharks were trippy, Katy Perry riding the NBC The More You Know star was kinda cool, Lenny Kravitz showing up was pointless, and I legit thought Missy Elliot was dead. Luckily I don't remember much of the bad, as this was the first Super Bowl in 5 years where I didn't have to work, so I basically spent it drunk.
I wouldn't say the final play was a bad call, just great defense. The guy who got the pick flat out said he watched game film and knew which play the Seahawks were going to run because he had seen the tape. He takes one step away and it's a TD, and it's a great decision.

Sounds like you actually are Johnny Manziel.
