Here we go...need points
I'm at work.
Sneaking highlights on the TV playing it in the lunch rooms/foyer. I sat down at lunch for 30mins and only caught glimpses of Katy Perry...

Whoever decided that play call should be fired. That is a f****** disgrace. I'm fuming.

Exactly my thoughts. Stupidest play call ever.

Had to give it Lynch. It's over now let's hope it drives them in the off season. A good WR would be nice.

Commiserations Guys EPIC SB .
The true merit of a Victory is always measured against the quality of the opposition that you beat, so to have beaten such an awesome side as your this year is a huge effort.
Good God the game had so many twists and turns what a spectacle.
Bad Luck in the end but your Team put up one hell of an effort you should be proud of them.
Cheers Monocle.

Not using your best offensive player, one yard out, was a travisty and I feel so bad for you guys.
All the luck next year, you will be around for a while yet.

Commiserations on the Super Bowl loss but congratulations on a fine season. You guys have a hell of a team up there in the Pacific North-West.
Regarding the Butler interception, don't beat yourselves up over it. The Patriots had a goal line package out there to specifically stop Lynch and the Pats made a hell of a play. Like the Kearse catch, it happens.

Yes, that last play called was terrible........but we lost it throughout the game. The picks saved us but our D just didn't impose themselves.............but our O lost us the game. Just not good enough in the end. You can't play in patches in every game and expect to continue to win. You also can't expect teams to self destruct to give us that chance.
If we lose Lynch in the offseason, our downhill slide will start.
I think we over achieved this year but that loss will be bitter - New England were probably the better team on the day but we self destructed and just handed them the game.

Seahawk fans should move to Guatemala - They'll be celebrating their 2nd super bowl victory big in the next few days adding to their Super Bowl XL trophy

Was goal line with 3 CBs. Not true goal line for the run. Revis just said he was running off and got called back when they saw the Saehawks package. The only reason Butler and him were on the field. He said it played in to the Pats hands and could not believe they didnt pound Lynch.

You're right that it's not a true GL package by definition but it was still a heavy package designed to stop Lynch. I don't blame Seattle for having a crack. How often do championships come down to a key play? It worked in the Patriots favour this time after Kearse's near heartbreaker.
Seattle will be in with a good shot next year. They're a helluva team.

Commiserations, pretty disappointed with how your team acted when the game was over but it is what it is, can only imagine the pain would be somewhat like Lions 04, don't really see any other team (maybe GB) who will challenge you to get back next year

So it was us that started it?
Pete is covering for Bevell.............big time.
Bevell has been a problem all year - our offense has been terrible and Bevell's calls have played a big role. Yesterdays final 30 seconds was a problem all year.
But all year we were fortunate our D kept us in the game.

Seattle blunder brings Russell Wilson resentment back into focus
Posted by Mike Florio on February 3, 2015, 7:00 AM EST

The struggles experienced by the Seahawks during the 2014 regular season arose in part from a transition in leadership. Out were players like defensive linemen Red Bryant and Chris Clemons. In was quarterback Russell Wilson.
Caught in the middle, potentially, were players like running back Marshawn Lynch and former Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin.
The change manifested itself in at least one bizarre way, with resentment toward the young quarterback articulated via reports that some teammates believe he’s not “black enough.” The deeper issue could be old-fashioned, human-natured jealousy of Wilson, described in October by former teammate Michael Robinson as an “outlier.”
Then came Sunday night’s “outlier” of a play call, with the coaching staff taking the ball out of the reliable hands of Lynch on the doorstep of a second straight Super Bowl win and directing Wilson to throw into a 15-yard box in which 21 other players were blocking, running, and jostling. Right or wrong, reasonable or not (especially since the coaches had given the ball to Lynch on first and goal from the five), some players will view the fateful decision as the latest attempt to glorify the golden child.
“That’s what it looked like,” an unnamed Seahawk told Mike Silver of NFL Media after the game regarding the perception that the coaching staff opted to showcase Wilson over Lynch with a repeat on the line.
Reality in this regard doesn’t matter; perception does. And one of the many issues the Seahawks will be required to process in the coming months could be the belief (realistic or not) that Wilson has been elevated above his teammates by the coaching staff.
That sense could require the front office to consider moving on from players who aren’t able to get over the Wilson-versus-Lynch dynamic. Ultimately, it may require the Seahawks to make an extra-large commitment financially to Lynch, and in turn to give less than perhaps it had planned to invest in Wilson.
From Wilson’s perspective, the magnitude of his next contract becomes a critical component in the broader necessity of coexisting with his teammates. That $20 million annual contract he may have earned in the first 55 games of his career may need to be dialed back as a result of the outcome of the 56th.

It's a load of bullshit and if their egos are too god damn big then f*** em off somewhere else.
I still think people need to realise how lucky we were to be that close - Kearse was lucky to catch that ball within the red zone in the final min. We should have been 4th down at the 30 yard line (whatever it was) and not really close enough.
I have to say the Patriots fans for the most part have been very classy in celebrating the win. It is good to see.

Hmm. Now that you put it that way.

Amazing Racer has been a realist for much of the 2014 campaign.. not one to mince his words. Wild Bill also another to take this gutting loss on the chin without moaning.. (I know exactly how gutting it feels… XLV) Classy posting on Pats thread too!!
