wouldnt expect anything different. Sherman is a trash talker but hes also a stand up dude who came from good roots at stanford.

Crazy fucking game... I watched the first half with my family and then went to my boss' house for a party he was having to watch the 4th quarter. Some dude bet $500 on the Seahawks, was too drunk for his own good and flipped the fuck out. He tried fighting any of the Pats fans and tried to rip a door off its hinges. He pinned a girl down and was screaming in her face, so he got slapped by her. He looked like he was about to retaliate before one of his good friends stepped in, but then he tried punching his friend as well. He was escorted out shortly afterwards.
Fun and interesting way to end the football season... great fucking game though. Terrible last call.

He's been an analyst on NFL Network I think.... guess we've seen the last of that.
Greg Anthony also got the same charge. Well, just soliciting prostitution, not the assault I don't think
In all my years of playing and watching football, that was the worst play call I've ever seen.
When they first came out in shotgun I was initially confused. I HATE the spread offense/formation in short yardage, that's soft football. Go under center and run the ball down their throat, you have the best RB in the NFL.
The coaches in this league always seem to outsmart themselves.

I agree. Marshawn Lynch's brute force style of running the football is made for moments like those. I do, however, understand the logic behind the call. They were expecting the run but New England was clearly prepared for the pass, too.
All in all, it was an excellent game. As a 49ers fan, the outcome is bittersweet. I've had it out for Richard Sherman all year long after last year's NFC championship game. He's a great player but it's quite refreshing to see him humbled.
There's a good article about the statistics for that last play. Lynch is 1/5 on 1 yard punch ins. Out of 109 pass attempts from the 1, Wilson is the only one to throw a pick. But I think it's funny Carroll said he didn't want to run it against their goal line defense, when they're the 3rd worst team in goal line defense efficiency. I think the article said at 89%. I think that stat's taken from the one yard line. Let's not pretend that Butler didn't make a great play on the ball either.
Generally speaking, from a coaching standpoint, everyone saying it was a bad play call was wrong. With the time winding down and only one time out you go for the pass first because if it's incomplete the clock stops. Then you run it two times and have the TO in case of emergency. A pass from the 1 yard line was attempted 109 times this year and it was only intercepted that one time on an incredible play by Butler. You can say it was bad because they have Lynch but throwing first in that situation technically makes sense.
no enfyte, it was an awful call
grantland was talking about today how the patriots were 32nd in short yardage rush defense and the seahawks were top 5 in short yardage rush offense. marshawn had only been stuffed twice all game. they would of gotten the touchdown. it would of been asisine to expect the patriots to drive down the field for a TD with only 30 seconds left. i understand all they needed a FG, but you still gotta take the points 100% there if youre the seahawks
Lucky they didn't try and run it three times to go one yard. Yeah the Pats interception was a good play I'll admit but still should've tried running the ball at least once
if were talking about lucky plays... how about that Kearse juggling catch. It took a lot of concentration but it also took a lot of luck for it to come down on top of him after the deflection

stop playing with my heart revis
It was an awesome game, but was disappointed by the commercials and the half-time show. When are they going to start picking music that appeals to people over the age of 15?
shock...-__- really?
2005 - paul mccartney
2006 - rolling stones
2008 - tom petty
2009 - springsteen
2010 - the who
and i'd argue that the black eyed peas and beyonce would appeal to a wider range of people than 15 year olds
Im fine with advertisements not having to be funny, but get that sad shit out of here
For reals. Here I am with my beer... and this kids talking about how he's dead? The hell? Also I think there was a commercial for maxi pads, like what? Get that shit outta here lol. Edit: I was pretty upset there was no nip slip, Katy Perry had those things sewn up. They've definitely been trying to stray away from younger music though. I get putting hot girls up there, and older type music. But wtf is Missy Elliot doing up there?Im fine with advertisements not having to be funny, but get that sad shit out of here
Yo dawg, Missy Elliot was fire. Three of her songs are back in the top 10 now and she saw like a 1000% increase in spotify traffic.
Also, lets just book Katy Perry for every half time show. She is great.
The situation might have dictated that he should have ran it from the start but what I am saying is that it wasn't as bad of a coaching decision as people are trying to say. On pretty much every occasion that is the correct playcall.
this. Considering the fact that the play was open and easily a touchdown without one of the best breaks on the ball you'll ever see.
Yo I'm down as long as someone else pays for the domain, makes the site, and does literally everything else. I'll write for it tho. '
Edit: And yeah people are dumb. Idzik shouldn't have been fired. They end up hiring a Director of College Scouting who didn't even do a great job with the Texans because none of the higher profile guys probably wanted to go to them. A GM needs more than 2 years to put together their big picture and nobody is going to take that job seriously if the Jets are dumb enough to fire someone before they can even get all their pieces in place.
