No joke!

Still the best Super Bowl I've seen in years.

I love the little Hockey fight at the end too. Nice touch.

Easily the worst call in NFL history. You would have to be brain damaged to throw the ball with half a yard remaining.

I really don't care who won. But you've got Marshawn Lynch, three down, and a timeout, and you don't run at least two more times? Puh-leeze. Still a great game, at least the second half. Commercials sucked.

Three downs, one time out, Marshawn Lynch. Yup, sounds like a passing situation to Pete Carrol. Or whoever the dope was who made that call.

Couple yards to go, second down, and you have a running back called "beast mode" who has been getting consistent yards from scrimmage. Yes stupid call, I thought the game was over when the Seahawks got that miracle catch, which would have gone down in Super Bowl history if they would have ended up scoring.

If Lane Kiffin and Les Miles conspired together to form their perfect offensive play, that is the result.

Darrell Bevell, probably.

He's been kind of shady all year.

Neither does this Bears fan. I didn't have a dog in this fight. It was just a mind numbingly stupid call.

Pete Carroll acknowledged it was his call in the post game.

Neither did Carrolls explanation. I'm thinking he made the passing call so they could name Wilson the mvp.

I heard an interesting stat on the radio this morning; the Seahawks ran on the 1-yd line 9 times this year, 5 times with Lynch, and made 1 TD out of those attempts. Apparently Pete Carroll was aware of that, and that's why he chose to pass, but if it's 2nd down, wouldn't you at least run it once or twice before you revert to passing? Seems like a much safer option, but I suppose hindsight is 20/20
