Pete Carroll botches the Super Bowl

When are they supposed to start the play clock?

When the hawk deems it necessary, apparently.

Giving someone rings is one thing. Deserving to get those rings is another thing. Cheating to keep someone else from getting those rings is a third thing. What is great is that whatever happens from here, Brady, Belicheat, and Graft will forever be stained by the fact that they cheated to get ahead. All of the them. Graft reminds me of a poor actor in a B gangster movie. Noone can be as transparent. Belicheat fits also as a Rocky's brother-in-law accomplice to the hero in the drama, the Irish stallion, Ken Doll Brady.

LOL, no they won't.

When are they supposed to start the play clock?

At the end of the previous play. However,that should have ended after the guy was tackled out of bounds, right? I don't know, really, when the play clock got restarted, I know that there was a shit load of confusion on the field and among the officials. Hell, they weren't sure for a bit whether the guy caught the ball or not.

This goes back, as far as I am concerned anyway, with a change I believe is needed to not start the play clock as soon on longer plays after which the offensive team has to recover its receivers back to the huddle and make substitutions or when complicated plays occur like that one. let the thing have a chance to sort itself out is all.

That lost time out was pretty important.

Sure, smart ass, sure. One of the craziest plays imaginable, in the last seconds of the championship game of the year. Confusion over both sidelines and among the refs, and you re-start the play clock like just another play happened. Now then I don't have a photographic memory of that exact time period. What I do know is that someone with a bit of fucking logic should have sorted things out a bit bit better before he wound that clock. That would have been a bit of common sense and fairness.

 

[The Hawk]

LOL, no they won't.

You don't think that those three's reputation isn't already stained? Now, that is funny. The way that Graft is circling the wagons among "Patriots" fans is like another reincarnation of Al Davis and his Raiders. He was hated among most if not all of the owners as well as the commissioner and now Graft has assumed the position.

Of course, Graft is already shoving out his propaganda merchants like that worm Feeley who appeared yesterday on a couple of programs crowing about Brady being the best ever QB. Graft must dress his guys before they go out into the world? Hell, I think he must even lacquer their eyebrows!

It was just another play. Once the play is over, the play clock starts. Quit being an asshat, they aren't going to give spectacular plays more time on the playclock.

No. People are talking about Brady as the greatest QB of all time and of Belichick as one of the best coaches ever. And this is already after the whole spy scandal. If that didn't effect their legacy, a couple of deflated balls will be long forgotten.

 

[The Hawk]

why because you know nothing is gonna happen?

No........ because betting on something like this is stupid. Why should I give a shit about whether or not you post?

Yeah, but you not posting for a month would be a victory for the board.

 

[The Hawk]

Yeah, but you not posting for a month would be a victory for the board.

Maybe so. But then again, I'd just have to deny that victory to whoever it is.

What are you talking about? There was no need for it to go to replay, and there were 2, maybe 3 referees there of the 7 that were near the play. The play clock starts when the referee whistles the ball ready for play, which would not have happened until the ball was spotted on the field.

It's very clear by this post, and the one I just quoted that you have no idea what happened.

He did admit to not having a photographic memory. Because, ya know, only people with photographic memories can recall what happens on a football field.

Thought this was funny. Funny stuff from SB Nation.

because you're a hater and know you're wrong.

Great game capped off by the dumbest play call in history. No other way to describe it. You cant tell me a jacked up Beast Mode doesn't get a yard for the TD? Even if he doesn't, he gets at least one more crack at it.

and if he doesn't the first time, PA to him the 2nd play and have Wilson RUN IT IN. so many options.

 

[Bearly]

Other than the guy who made the pick, there was one other guy in the vicinity, and there was no way he was making the int. I wouldn't call that stuffing the middle.

But the post I responded to said that they were because of the run and there's plenty of guys around. I suspect you didn't expect a triple teamed quick slant of less than 1 yard.

 

[run and shoot]

Passing the ball in the middle of a field that short is epic Special person mode. Those saying it was a good call because they were expecting the run are ridiculous. Personally I would have used Lynch or fake the handoff to Lynch and have Wilson run outside. If you are going to pass AT LEAST throw it away from the middle of the field.

The end result of the play AND the game show how dumb that decision was.

More than any point in the game, the mantra ON THE 1/2 YARD LINE, shouda' been.....DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER

 

[run and shoot]

I get that Wilson isn't their best player so it's better to take the ball out of his hands, and it upsets you that you can't continue on your charade about how great Wilson is.

Dude now ur slipping back into troll mode. It's not about WILSON, it's about making smart, high % play-calls. Now go ahead and make another trollish, irrelevant comment.

 

[run and shoot]

There was a key play that wasn't called. A Hawks receiver was tackled right in front of the official and it wasn't called. It was blatant and would have given Seattle a new set of downs with the clock running down.

TRUE.....and nobody wants to acknowledge it.
