Dayum!

Hey! you people, I see what's going on up there!

Congrats to Sam Darnold and the Seahawks.

 

[JujuFish]

Screw the Pats. Go Seachickens.

 

[Chaotic42]

Definitely a fun game to watch. Nacua may have the IQ of cat litter, but he's great at his job.

 

[BoomerD]

Well...damn...that was a helluva game.
Go Hawks!

 

[MrSquished]

Screw the Pats. Go Seachickens.

Amen. Fuck you Kraft

I will say this singing of the national anthem and people holding their hands over their hearts and also cheering right now, is kind of gross.

I guess there was a very loud and noticeable anti ICE chant that had to be censored out during thr national anthem in Seattle.

those two nephews and Brother in law at the game were likely participating

Seahawks are 5 point favorites. I like JSN +550 for MVP, in the unlikely event a non-QB wins it.

I've seen several posts on social media talking about how underwhelming this year's Super Bowl will be and how neither team is exciting or good etc. I think this season and the playoffs have been excellent. Its great to see new teams and players in the Super Bowl.

New teams? Counting this year, the NE Patriots have gone to the Super Bowl 12 times…with a current record of 6/5. (Hopefully to be 6/6 in 2 weeks)
This will be the SeaChickens’ 4th visit…with a 1/3 record…(hopefully to be 2/2)

But, yes…both teams have different coaches and players since they met for “The Big Game” last.

 

[skyking]

other than the SF drubbing, all the playoff games had some excitement and plenty of late game changes IMO. I am not statistics guy ,but it seemed like there was no sure outcome in most of the games.

 

[MrSquished]

I'll ask my BIL, a lifelong tortured Jets fan, if this true

OK that's technically true, not "new" teams but two unexpected teams in the game is nice to see.

And how about that Mr. Rogers song!
Hell yeah!!

Shedeur Sanders added to Pro Bowl roster per some twitter reporters. I hope this isn't real.

Shedeur Sanders added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster

The Browns haven't settled on a head coach for the 2026 season, so it's unclear if Shedeur Sanders will remain the team's starting quarterback after a seven-game audition for the role to close out his rookie year.

www.nbcsports.com

Josh Allen, Drake Maye and Justin Herbert were the original AFC quarterbacks selected for the roster. Maye will be in the Super Bowl and the other two players dealt with injuries in the final weeks of their seasons, so Sanders may not be the only replacement added to the squad.

Sanders was 120-of-212 for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions in eight overall appearances.

Ok, maybe the broncos don't need Bo Nix...

Romo was right. They should have kicked that FG @ 4th and 1.

 

[manly]

It wasn't a "bad" decision with 4th-and-1. (Any more than 2 yards, just kick the FG.)
At that point in the game, Payton couldn't have known it would devolve into a defensive struggle.

The funny part of it is that Payton himself criticized the Bears aggressiveness on 4th down just a week earlier.

IIRC, near the beginning of the game the broadcasters noted that snow was a possibility (probability) as the game wore on in the 2nd half. In fact, as Romo noted, scoring became a near impossibility in the 4th quarter. Payton SHOULD have realized that points might be hard to come by.

Anyway, yeah, hindsight is 20-20. But Romo is hell of canny. He said he would have taken the points.
