Carroll with the quote of the day
QuoteSeattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Friday it will be Richard Sherman's decision whether to play in Sunday's Super Bowl if his pregnant girlfriend goes into labor with the couple's first child sooner than expected, the Associated Press reports.
Carroll said during a joint news conference with New England coach Bill Belichick that family comes first and "if (Sherman) is faced with that decision, we'll support him."
"He has an opportunity to face a big decision and whenever our players have a personal, family issue that comes up it's always about family first and they can decide what is best for them and I support that," Carroll said. "However he goes with that, if he's faced with that decision we'll support him and we'll see how that goes."
Carroll also added, "I can't wait to see little Petey."
I wonder if Richard knows
Errands today?
Predictions?
I'm going with Seattle to win by a slim margin
New England wins by double digits.
New England - 24
Seattle - 20
The lowest priced ticket on Stubhub right now is $10,909.
Is that right now??
It'll be cheaper tomorrow.
Why though? This game is going to be a shtein show.

It is?
shtein, I was planning on watching it.
The production will be a shtein show. The game might be good. Last football for a long while.
They're rarely good. Two weeks between games, hype, both teams being thrown out of their regular routines, etc. They're almost always zesty and with two teams I have no interest in watching, why bother?
PS: Errands?
Asterisk Bowl
Even if this game is a blowout and it sucks, I'll walk away happy if I don't have to see any pathetic "No More" propaganda commercials tonight.
yea domestic violence isnt a big deal at all
I missed the first quarter. Watched End Of Tomorrow instead. Good movie. Also - didn't appear to miss much.

everybody doesnt know that
if even 1 person comes forward because of those ads, they would be worth it.
You just know that if the Eagles ever go for it like the Seahawks just did, not only do they not score, but it probably gets intercepted for a pick-six.

They should at least be real about it though. You're not going to completely stop domestic violence.
This has been a fun game to watch on my second monitor with the sound off. I'm expecting some last minute Russel Wilson bomb to win it, but I think I'll enjoy it regardless.
Wow
I was really hoping for a safety there to really make this game fun. Oh well.
Nevermind! A brawl is fun, too. Now everybody can make fun of the Seahawks for being bitches forever.
What a farging joke. Seattle is as dumb as they come
Dislike both teams bit Seattle deserved to lose the icehole bowl
2nd and goal, end of game, The Beast in your backfield. What to do?
RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. :boom
that call is so stupid chip kelly would've done it
and he did actually do it
That was more Andy Reid than Chip Kelly, but both are dumb
Chip would have called an uncatchable pass to Cooper in the corner.
Worst Super Bowl playcall ever?
Best halftime show, according to my wife.
Bob Kraft is hammered.
Would rather miss the playoffs entirely than lose the way Seattle did. I just can't imagine a season ending worse than that.

The same thing as that, but the head coach has an aneurysm and the offensive coordinator gets promoted, who then hires Marty Mornhinweg as his offensive coordinator.
I couldn't get over all those big name, high draft pick WR on the Seattle roster though. :paranoid

Is she in marketing?

Sorry NBC, Carroll ain't going to throw his OC or wonder boy under the bus. They farged up beyond any comprehension. End of story.
Even my wife just said "I don't profess to know a thing about football but my God wtf were they thinking?"
4th year in a row and 10 of the last 11 where the team wearing the white jersey won
Wow.
This was a great game. Awful play call (and Bevell said that lockette should've been stronger to the ball - um, no. You should've run it dickhead)...awesome catch by Kearse....great drive by Brady
The party I was at was fantastic too. Tons of good food and booze...and two hot lesbians flirting hard and fooling around.

Racist.
five times this season marshawn lynch ran it from the one yard line or less and four times he was stopped
If an Eagles coach did that you'd spend the rest of your life reminding anyone who'd listen how stupid the call was.
it was a bad call...i would have run russell wilson on a read option but its not the end all be all like people are trying to portray...it wasnt throwing it to thomas tapeh for example
It was infinitely worse. They lost the biggest game in the world because they decided to get cute.
I'm good with it because farg em, though. Just wish it wasn't the Pats on the receiving end of a gift that generous.
the call itself isnt better or worse because of the enormity of the game....the loss becomes much worse but the call is the call....it was a bad call period....but it was a much better defensive play than it was a bad call...i would have literally given butler the mvp...it was imo the single best play offensive or defensive in sb history
It was a horrible call because they threw it in the heart of an 8 man front, it was an even worse throw. You throw that pass you need to hit the receiver in the chest not lead him.

If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.
The call to throw versus run cannot be remotely defended. Butler made a great play and it is def in the top three of SB all time plays.
But you run it three times there. If you want to change it up and not pound Lynch all three times then you go read option. I would've gone read option on 2nd down and then Lynch on third down and fourth down

I can't stop watching that lol
the seahawks loss is a lot easier to swallow having won the superbowl last year
for example in the last 365 days the seahawks have won half as many superbowls as the eagles have ever played in and have appeared in double the amount of superbowls as cleveland
Who gives a farg, who gives a farg, who gives a farg.
The Seahawks and patriots can all go swallow their trophies.
I knew it was over when Kearse dropped that pass when they were up by 10...driving.
QuoteRussell Wilson became the first player to throw an interception from the 1-yard line this season.
The biggest play of Super Bowl XLIX was the Seahawks' pass play on 2nd-and-goal from the New England 1-yard line with 26 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Russell Wilson's pass to Ricardo Lockette was intercepted by Malcolm Butler.
Was it the worst play call in Super Bowl history, as some have said, or was it a smart decision with poor execution? We go inside the numbers on both sides of the debate.
WHY THE SEAHAWKS SHOULD HAVE RUN
Over the past five seasons including the playoffs entering last night, teams on the opponent's 1-yard line ran the ball on 71 percent of all plays. On those plays, teams scored a touchdown 54 percent of the time while turning the ball over 1.5 percent of the time.
When passing from the 1, teams scored a touchdown just under 50 percent of the time while turning the ball over at a slightly higher rate.
The Patriots allowed five touchdowns on six rushes from their 1-yard line this season, including the playoffs (83 percent). Only the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington tater skins (both 100 percent) allowed touchdowns on a higher percentage of rushing plays from the 1-yard line.
If Seattle ran on 2nd down, called a timeout and ran on 3rd down, based on the league average touchdown percentage, two rushes would have resulted in a touchdown 79 percent of the time.
WHY THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE RUN
For starters, interceptions on pass plays at the 1-yard line are very rare. Wilson's was the 109th pass attempt from the 1-yard line in the NFL this season and the first to be picked off.
Over the last 10 seasons including the playoffs, quarterbacks have thrown 270 passes on 2nd down from the opponent's 1-yard line. They combined for 129 touchdown and just five interceptions with Wilson's being the fifth.
Additionally, Marshawn Lynch has not been particularly good at punching it in from the 1-yard line over the past 5 seasons.
Among 39 running backs with at least 10 carries from the 1-yard line in the past 5 seasons (incl. playoffs), Lynch's touchdown percentage (45 percent) ranks 30th. Also consider that this season Lynch scored a touchdown on one out of five rushes from the 1-yard line.
Passing from the 1-yard line
Last 5 seasons including playoffs
Pct of Plays
2014 35%*
2013 33%
2012 32%
2011 25%
2010 29%
*TD on 61% of pass att
It is important to note the change in philosophy from the 1-yard line for offenses in the NFL over the last five seasons as well. Teams have been throwing more often and had their most success throwing in 2014, as the chart shows.
A bigger question could be the play call. As Darrelle Revis said after the game, "I think the run's coming with Marshawn. I just figured that they were just going to try to pound it with Marshawn Lynch for the touchdown, and they did not and it was in our favor."
If most players on the Patriots expected run, why not throw in a play-action fake like on the Doug Baldwin touchdown from the 3-yard line? In the last five seasons, teams have scored a touchdown on 57% of their pass attempts from the 1-yard line after play action and 45% without a run fake.
Wilson was 6-for-7 with 132 yards and a touchdown on play-action passes Sunday, but did not use a play fake on the final offensive snap for the Seahawks.

31 of 32 teams don't have Marshawn Lynch in the backfield.
Science.
PS: LOL Matty.
Seattle wasting Timeouts on that last drive was also inexplicable. Lynch scores, Brady has 2 TO and 20 seconds to get in FG range. Yes rough odds but hey its Brady. shtein happens. Ganakowski is a damn good kicker.

pretty sure both timeouts they took came after dead ball plays and didn't effect the clock....
once after an incompletion and once after the miracle kearse catch where he got out of bounds

It was karmatic justice. Dook had made a great play on the ball that should have broken up the miracle catch. He got his when he intercepted it.
all i know is seattle cost me $375 thanks to plays at the end of both 1/2's.

Really. Years from now nobody will remember that ridiculous circus catch, just the INT that happened on the next play.
Listen to replay of Sal on Mikey Miss earlier today (actually on now) if you get a chance. Amazing story about how Patriots were prepared for that play where Butler made the game winning INT.

bwahahaha

When Butler intercepted Wilson at the goal line to end the game, for a moment...maybe a split second, I was genuinely happy to be an Eagles fan. For a second.
1. His tv was shtein anyways and needed a new one
2. If the Eagles lost in that fashion the city wouldn't be standing anymore. Smoldering yes. But it would have been torched.
Supposedly people really believed their TV had gone out in the Chevy commercial. (http://www.people.com/article/super-bowl-2015-chevy-commercial-twitter?xid=facebookfeb05_simplereach&sr_source=lift_facebook)
