Jesus with the Fluke play! If you want to go that route Pats were SUPER lucky that 4 out of 5 of Seattle's vaunted secondary were hurt! And the comeback began once Avril left the game with a concussion. No D-line depth Bennett had no help and ran out of gas! Again Morons running the Seahawks; Chancellor gets hurt on the Friday before the Super Bowl, idiots! Should just be doing walkthroughs and game film not anything to tire or hurt players 2 days before the Super Bowl!
They only got 29 yrds with a minute left in 2012. I doubt the Hawks were worried about Pats going the other way, they were in such confusion that last minute. The last thing on their minds was the Pats going the other way. And that pass that wasn't intercepted in that spot all year wasn't thrown by someone under 5'11 all year either.
However banged up they may have been, injuries are part of the game. You think having GRONK may have helped the Pats in 2011, 2012, 2013? Or having Brady not get hurt vs SD in '07? etc etc
Cmon that play was a fluke play. injuries happen all the time, receptions like that do not happen all the time.
Yeah they do but i've never seen 80% of a secondary injured (best ever) and I've never ever heard of a player getting hurt TWO DAYS before the big game! Also fluke/luck part of the game too! Evans, Cundiff, or better yet how many times has Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds! That was a fluke play too.
and Lynch was already stuffed twice on third and short in that game. (had to look it up)
the argument he was running through the Pats is mythology
third and two early
third and one late
they don't lie, and that's good, but it's not great
throw in being stuffed twice already in that very game, and the fact that Lynch scored once in five attempts from the one during the season, and the numbers clearly suggest it was not an automatic (which is even more mythology)
Well maybe I didn't word it right but what I meant was that play was a gift and it would've been a huge part of them winning, just like the Tyree catch and a thousand other games where stuff way outside of the norm happens. It was in response to post #42 saying NE got a gift. Like as in "Y'all are saying NE got a gift? What if Seattle won, that catch was way crazier"
Since they lost, the improbability of the play is moot but it was a lot crazier than a team passing and throwing an INT at the 1. It would've gone down as more improbable than the Tyree catch.

I have to be honest with you, I have no idea what you're talking about now
just more trumped up mythology, especially since I didn't dis the Hawks at all
I've done nothing more than to try and explain why it's not black and white, why it's not the worst call in the history of sports, and now I'm doing such because I'm part of a bad fan base. I'm unreasonable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my god, why
Willie "STFU", leave it be
thank you, great advice buddy

Thought you were done commenting in this thread?
And what NE fan took anything away from the Giants 2 Superbowl defeats of the Pats??
Not a single one I know......Everybody says the Giants should have won those games, NE didn't make the plays they needed to.
Just like Seattle didn't make the plays they needed to. It was close but they fell short. End of story.
