For a while there I had it on lock that one of the punters would win MVP. That would have been amazing.

I feel absolutely sick for Wade Phillips and the Rams defense. 13 points allowed should be enough to get you a W. Their other side had the worst offensive showing ever in a Super Bowl.

As out as I am on football: holy shit.

Didn't watch the game (joined the New Orleans boycott), but I love that final score. Three points out of the team that shouldn't have been there. Beautiful. Eat shit, Goodell. Still bitter. Still so very bitter.

After the Patriots beat Carolina for their second title, my secret hope, in the back of my mind would be that they'd grab 6 titles to tie PITT for most all-time. Never, never, never did I expect that to happen.

Stopping the best, or one of the best offenses in the NFL, from scoring a TD in the biggest game of the season. I dunno, I think Bill deserved the MVP. What a game plan.

Congrats Coach!

Glad to see Sony Michel and David Andrews contributing so well. It was a hell of an effort. The McCourty saved touchdown probably won't be remembered as much as it probably should be.

Goff was Gabbert-esque in that game. He had a lot of pressure put on him and he did not handle it well at all. Kudos to the Pats' game plan. They must have watched the Bears/Rams tape and carefully noted how shitty he would be with pressure.

Thanks man. I know that SB was boring for a lot of people, but it was exciting if you had a rooting interest. Pretty close (score wise) the whole way through.

I'm glad you brought up McCourty - he had a couple of game saving plays

And you can't discount the punters either, and all the work on special teams to pin the Rams in bad field position. Only thing missing was a safety.

He's the only player that did anything, so yeah that pretty much was by default.

Anyone else notice the missed intentional grounding call on Goff in the end zone in the third quarter?

Should have been a safety.

did you bitch on the PI call on joe haden



im going to go out on a limb and say you didnt

Did it seem to anyone else that a lot of plays weren't shown multiple times like in other games? A lot of close calls that were "was that...?" but the director never showed a second angle. Is it because it's the Super Bowl and they don't want to waste the normies time with extra analysis?

Just in general there didn't seem to be a lot of calls to be made by the refs.

Most of the catches seemed pretty clear-cut, there was really only two defensive holding calls that extended drives and the defenseless player call was also an easy call.

I was happy to not have multiple "was it or wasn't it a catch" stoppages.

wasn’t the rb in the area?

Sort of. The pass bounced right after the line of scrimmage. The RB was about 5-10 yards past it near the sideline. I've seen it called both ways. Though I only saw the play live and one replay, so I may be remembering it incorrectly.

yeah i’d need to see it again too

That's how I remember it, too. There was a ref who immediately pointed at the Rams player who would have been the intended receiver. It was close but wasn't egregious.

Hmmmm. I just watched it again. Ball lands about 3 yards from the line of scrimmage and Gurley's like 10 yards away.

either way, it was definitely a game changer

I meant to say right before or after the line of scrimmage. If the thrown ball was on line with intended target they tend to not call it as much.
