How about a Super Bowl 49 thread?

The Blacklist with James Spader. My wife perked up when they ran the promo for it. I didn't even know she watched it.

 

Hoodie's not calling timeout was egregious as well in my view. Not doing so meant the only way his team was going to win was stopping the Seahawks from scoring from their 1 yard line.

Use the timeouts, and at least you leave Brady with about 40 seconds to work with for a tie. When Lynch went to the 1, that should have been an immediate timeout call.

Now, it's being spun as some brilliant coaching strategm that Hoodie let the clock go. Hardly. Instead, it shows that both of the headset geniuses had major screw-ups in the final moments of the biggest game of their year.

And then in the flash of a second, the hot spotlight flipped from Hoodie to Carroll with the Butler pick.

 

Kirk, read Bevell's thoughts on the play call. He went that way because of the clock.

It's unorthodox and I'm not sure if it's the right percentage play, but if the Pats leave a minute on the clock the Seahawks probably slam Lynch into the line three times without even thinking about anything else.

 

This is your annual reminder that Darrell Bevell's best quality is that he was once buddy-buddy with Brett Favre.

 

Absolutely. Both teams made questionable calls late. Pats giving the Seahawks an extra TO by sending the kick out of the end zone with 2:02 left, Seattle burning two TOs, then NE not calling the TO with the ball at the 1 and finally the pass on second down.

 

Jesus Christ this is dumb

 

What I really don't like about that play is you're throwing the ball awfully hard over a short distance in the middle of the field. That ball has a great chance to hit off the receiver's hands and pop up into the air for an INT. The biggest upset about that play was that Butler caught it completely clean considering the mustard on the ball and the collision with the receiver.

 

Gatorade and aspirin work really well for hangovers. Lots of Gatorade.

 

Tried both of those today. My usual go-to. But even that is worthless today.

 

A day later and still the worst call in the history of sports, bar none.

 

That same pass route was taken back by James Harrison a couple Super Bowls ago.

 

Ok
