Super Bowl XLVIII

[GameSetAndMath]

You both got a point. But, they were not planning to go empty handed. They thought
they will get 7 points before half time.

Sometimes some of these calls are really tough.

Once in 1980, Nebraska was behind by 7 points to Miami in the last few minutes.
This was time when a tie is allowed (i.e, no overtime). Nebraska scored a touch down
and got 6 points. They could have safely gone for an extra point kick-off to tie the game.
But, the coach wanted to win it outright and called for 2-pt conversion which backfired
and Nebraska lost.

another dull HT show. Bring on RHCP

We will agree to disagree. You have to remember that this is against one of the best defenses ever, down 22 you can't settle for a field goal there and hope to come up with a 25 point 2nd half

Well now they have to come up w/ 22+ points regardless. They're in no better shape than before and they couldn't cap the momentum.

Forgetting 2 point conversions, you realistically change it to a 3 score deficit rather than 4, you're on the boards and you go into the locker room with something slightly positive. They should have kicked it.

That was some first half from Seattle... defense was excellent.

Seattles offense is the biggest surprise IMO, as great as Manning is he was never gojng to tear this defense up or even come close. The turnovers blew it open though.

Why is it surprising?

Carroll is a masterful play caller in the passing game, and Denver's secondary is their weak link. I knew Seattle could trouble them with crossing routes and hit them deep with their receiver speed.

Denver's Front 7 is outstanding. Thy have done a better job on Lynch than anyone all season. It's just that the Denver secondary has lapses and tends to be out of position too much.

 

[DarthFed]

Half time show and commercials are only slightly better than this game

 

[britbox]

Denver need to make a stand here then I wouldn't be surprised if Manning comes out in a no huddle offense to shake things up a bit.

 

[britbox]

Scratch the above, that was apalling. Tackling in NFL is atrocious.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

They did make a stand. they all were just standing when ............

 

[DarthFed]

I don't think a field goal would've done much for the momentum, moot point now, this game is completely done

So, anyone knows the biggest comeback in super bowl history? Not that it is happening but...

 

[DarthFed]

I think it is 14 at most

 

[nehmeth]

TD Seattle

 

[DarthFed]

Maybe Washington vs Denver when the former scored 35 straight or something

 

[DarthFed]

Right game wrong points, biggest comeback was 10 points and Washington scored the last 42 points

 

[kskate2]

Was that the Doug Williams MVP game?

 

[DarthFed]

How do you punt there??? Just bizarre

 

[DarthFed]

Yes Ks
