The Game Ball Thread: Kiss the Ring

Nink stopping Lynch on 3rd and 1 earlier in the game was a huge play. Obviously Carol was worried about getting stuffed and having no time left.
I am a bit pissed at ESPN crew acting like it was just one bad play call that won the game for the PAts. It was a bullshit luck catch that put them there, and the greatest defense ever had a ten point lead going into the 4th quarter.

Bill prepared for that... he said it I believe it. He tells his team to just do your job, no way butler, our rookie db behind Revis Browner Arrington and Ryan; does that without being prepared by his coach. We were all sitting there going "wtf is Bill not calling a timeout?" Bill knew exactly what
he was doing and brain fucked Carrol into playing habit with the right package on the field.

Dilfer laying the smackdown at least.
Of course, the real issue here is that there is actually no such thing as Deflategate and it was an entirely manufactured controversy with the least merit of any "investigation" in sports history. No merit when they said 11 of 12 were deflated to whatever, and still none when it turns out the media was spoonfed a pile of bullshit by some sore losers.

This is what Wilson saw on that final play. I would have thrown it there too. Butler can't get enough credit for his play.
Heh -- isn't that #85 blocking down field BEFORE the pass is out? Where's the 10 yard OPI?
/but I really could not care less no more
Yes. From the time we went down 10 I was losing the ability to reason. After that crazy bounce pass I was mentally in a haze. I'm not sure I'll have really processed it for a few days.Jnai said:

As great a play as Butler made, and it was insane, Wilson has to throw the ball low and into the receiver's body. That's not a hard throw --- he's getting zero blame and, even though I like Wilson a lot, he deserves most of it. I agree that Carroll taking one shot through the air seems fine, classic hindsight 2nd guessing by media
I haven't read the game thread yet but am doing so now. I'm also in shell shock. The batshit circus catch (Kearse?) and the ensuing "fuck you here's David Tyree" moment from NBC literally had me on the verge of tears. And then my apartment literally exploded when Butler picked it. Just... wow.

Same here. It was only after the game that I understood why Belichick didn't call timeout.drleather2001 said:

Yep.
Belichick said it wasn't a goalline defense. Belichick said that when they put three WRs out there, he kept the corners in the game. If the Seahawks had put out TEs, then the Patriots would have sent out a true goal line defense. So it wasn't a true goalline D. He fooled Carroll. It was a situation they had practiced for. It was situational football, that they were prepared for.
Belichick outcoached Carroll on that play. Just schooled him. That is not the meme that the media will run with, that is not the script they will run, because they hate Belichick. Just despise him. But between Butler (a backup) being ready from study to know to jump the route after the pick play from Kearse, and Belichick keeping the cornerbacks in the game when they saw that the Seahawks had 3 WRs out there instead of TEs, it was just a masterful, once in a decade call by the best coach in football history. Again, NO ONE will give him the credit for that, but he just schooled Carroll. The media will attack Carroll, but they will ignore what Belichick did. But he absolutely schooled Carroll. And won his fourth Super Bowl.
I can just see him walking up to Malcom Butler in a practice down at the goal line, tellling him the situation "three WRs stack on the left, what will they do, what is your responsibility?" The man is the greatest coach in history.
Time for a new paint job on the boat.
Yeah, he's a punk but he's our punk:

Screw Richard Sherman. He did get that "24" he flashed right, though. He correctly predicted the total nimber of points Seattle would score tonight.

Ignoring the batshit crazy ending for a few heartbeats, it has to be Tom fucking Brady. 10 points down in teh 4th Quarter against the top defense in the NFL who gave up a total of 13 points in the 4th quarter COMBINED over the last 9 GAMES, and he leads the rteam for 14. Greatestest 4th Quarter comeback in Super Bowl history.
And although everyone is rightly praising Malcom FREAKING Butler, for that incredible INT, it's even more amazing in the proper context. Just a few plays earlier, he gave up the equivalent of the helmet catch. He's a rookie - he should have been shattered, cursing the gods. But no, his head stays in the game and he does the unbelievable to win the Super Bowl.
And why? Because his coach has drilled it into him - and every last guy on that team, that you just do your fucking job and never surrender. That's right. Game Ball to Bill Belichick, best football coach ever.

Really? They share a twitter account? They realize shoe things are free, right?

He walks up to everyone's pressers, then goes:
"KISS THE RING!!!" to Devin.
"OG, OG, INFLATE THIS!!!" to Wilfork.
Then goes up to the podium himself, and gives credit to Butler first then says "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING" LOL

Feels like so many things that have been bitched about for so long just don't matter anymore. Like all the draft day whining about taking a risk on Easley and taking JG instead of someone who could help the team win this year. DOESN'T MATTER.

Hang on now, I get where you're coming from re: Welker, but isn't Solder's predecessor three time champion Matt Light?

Wrong answer.
"We had a tough win over a great team, we played to our plan and got some breaks and pulled out the win. Now we're on to planning for next week in Orlando."

He's a back to back World Champion, dude can do whateeeever he wants.
that was like if you were up 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th inning of world series game 7, your closer comes out, walks the first three guys, is 3-0 on #4, and for some inexplicable reason he swings and hits into a triple play.

Maybe he's confusing Light with Logan "I leave my worst performances for the biggest moments" Mankins.

We can now safely say that losing Logan Mankins did not doom this team. Though it was touch and go for a couple weeks there early on, I admit...
Read it from Seahawks fans' point of view. Yup -- still reminds me of the Giants losses. Starts with the Kearse catch:
