whomper Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I believe the only way you liked this game is if you bet the Pats or are a Pats fan. It was the worst super bowl I have ever seen . After every superbowl you can always name at least 5 exciting memorable plays. This game , I guess the best play of the game was the gronk catch . I can appreciate a good defensive battle but it wasn't even an intense defensive battle with big hits and memorable stops or a goal line stand etc . It was each team meandering for a first down or 2 and then punting. Goff was a deer in the headlights . I don't think people are really emphasizing how huge that Cooks drop was right before the pick. You have to haul that in. That is a game changer for sure if he grabs that catchable pass . I don't need arena football scoring , but I do enjoy action and a big play here and there . This game was a giant letdown . I actually was nodding off in the 4th Q 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went from 1st and 10 at the pats 45 to 1st and 20 at their own 30 I believe  I don't think there was a chance that Goff would of punched it in. He was God awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I was on the edge of my seat the wholw game, but I imagine that’s natural as I was vested.  Overall I was entertained.  From a technical standpoint, can anyone comment on why Goff’s throw from the endzone when he had a herd of Pats defenders in his face was not Intentional Grounding? - Under diress, Check - In the pocket, Check - Ball didn’t make the LOS, Check. - No receiver within 5 yards of the ball, Check?

Yeah, he was 10 yards down field, but ball was thrown in his direction. Goff was pressured, so under thrown ball is expected.   Edited February 4, 2019 by Gourdeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah. Not sure what's going on with the Pats and the male mouth kissing . Brady planted one on bellichik too. It is just an incredibly odd way to great another grown man unless you are both homosexual and involved , which I am not suggesting here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still in play but cleary was going out, slowing down to do so.. I wonder if that had been Tawmy what would have occurred.

Overall though I'm glad there weren't any game changing calls or no calls that were ticky tack I have very strong feelings about this, since a playoff game in the 90’s when Matt Chatham let up and didn’t crush Kordell Stewart out of bounds.  Slash made like he was going to fo OOB, ans when the defender slowed up, he dashed down the sidelined for what was a critical TD.  Ever since that game I have always felt that in bounds is fair game when you are a runner.  Turn TommyBoy into a smear if he’s running for the sidelines and you catch him, I’ll never complain about that! Anyways, i generally agree that the refs tried to stay out of the way for the most part, and I think everyone was glad for it.  EDIT:  Whoops, sorry.  It was Todd Collins. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1998-01-04-9801040357-story,amp.html Edited February 5, 2019 by Caveman_Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 None of this matters. Goff wasn't gonna score if he had 10 more drives starting on the Pats 5 yard line. If you need someone to blame look no further than McVay & Goff. That was embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met some great people there and rode with about two dozen of them.  I was on there several years ago. Not really into that scene anymore. I wasn't a real harcore rider, more casual. I had a couple Trek's over the years. Nothing fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
