Re: 2018 NFL Season
For a while there I had it on lock that one of the punters would win MVP. That would have been amazing.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
I feel absolutely sick for Wade Phillips and the Rams defense. 13 points allowed should be enough to get you a W. Their other side had the worst offensive showing ever in a Super Bowl.

Didn't watch the game (joined the New Orleans boycott), but I love that final score. Three points out of the team that shouldn't have been there. Beautiful. Eat shit, Goodell. Still bitter. Still so very bitter.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
After the Patriots beat Carolina for their second title, my secret hope, in the back of my mind would be that they'd grab 6 titles to tie PITT for most all-time. Never, never, never did I expect that to happen.
Stopping the best, or one of the best offenses in the NFL, from scoring a TD in the biggest game of the season. I dunno, I think Bill deserved the MVP. What a game plan.

Congrats Coach!
Glad to see Sony Michel and David Andrews contributing so well. It was a hell of an effort. The McCourty saved touchdown probably won't be remembered as much as it probably should be.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Goff was Gabbert-esque in that game. He had a lot of pressure put on him and he did not handle it well at all. Kudos to the Pats' game plan. They must have watched the Bears/Rams tape and carefully noted how shitty he would be with pressure.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Thanks man. I know that SB was boring for a lot of people, but it was exciting if you had a rooting interest. Pretty close (score wise) the whole way through.Electromatic wrote:Coach wrote:After the Patriots beat Carolina for their second title, my secret hope, in the back of my mind would be that they'd grab 6 titles to tie PITT for most all-time.

I'm glad you brought up McCourty - he had a couple of game saving plays
And you can't discount the punters either, and all the work on special teams to pin the Rams in bad field position. Only thing missing was a safety.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Anyone else notice the missed intentional grounding call on Goff in the end zone in the third quarter?
Should have been a safety.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Did it seem to anyone else that a lot of plays weren't shown multiple times like in other games? A lot of close calls that were "was that...?" but the director never showed a second angle. Is it because it's the Super Bowl and they don't want to waste the normies time with extra analysis?run2death wrote:Anyone else notice the missed intentional grounding call on Goff in the end zone in the third quarter?

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Just in general there didn't seem to be a lot of calls to be made by the refs.
Most of the catches seemed pretty clear-cut, there was really only two defensive holding calls that extended drives and the defenseless player call was also an easy call.
I was happy to not have multiple "was it or wasn't it a catch" stoppages.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Sort of. The pass bounced right after the line of scrimmage. The RB was about 5-10 yards past it near the sideline. I've seen it called both ways. Though I only saw the play live and one replay, so I may be remembering it incorrectly.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:wasn’t the rb in the area?run2death wrote:Anyone else notice the missed intentional grounding call on Goff in the end zone in the third quarter?

Re: 2018 NFL Season
That's how I remember it, too. There was a ref who immediately pointed at the Rams player who would have been the intended receiver. It was close but wasn't egregious.Monkey_Driven wrote:Sort of.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
Hmmmm. I just watched it again. Ball lands about 3 yards from the line of scrimmage and Gurley's like 10 yards away.

Re: 2018 NFL Season
I meant to say right before or after the line of scrimmage. If the thrown ball was on line with intended target they tend to not call it as much.
