As a Packer fan, the word karma comes to mind watching how this game ended. The Seahawks were in the Super Bowl because Green Bay gave it to them with 4 minutes left. New England won because the Seahawks gave it to them.

Seems like "karma" should be the word of the season.

Typical second half, Hawks tear it up and, unfortunately, they made the wrong decision with seconds to go.

There's always next year :)


Carrol said they ran that play because they got the look they wanted. In other words, NE was set up for Lynch so they ran the opposite, a play they thought would work

And had it worked out, it would have been considered a great call

Ive been a Seahawks fan since '76 and compared to a lot of seasons this one was great

That play was disappointing but the game was theirs to lose, and knowing that theyre top caliber today is a really good feeling

I am looking forward to next season, hopefully I will see a few games in person

Yup, just like any play in the NFL. If it works, it's great. If it doesn't...well...yeah.

But, good on Pete to fall on the sword.

It will be interesting to see who's on the Hawks roster come September.

Yeah, he stepped right up there and took full responsibility

He should be able to pull team morale up, just being who he is. They should be proud of this last season

Sometimes balls shaped that way just bounce funny

I'm thinking a Seahawks / 49ers game either Seattle or San Fran, we have a 49er fan in the family and both are close, familiar cities

Love both areas

I'd rather my Pats win of course but if for some reason they don't I'd like to see the Saints take it. A dear friend of mine is a fan, I think you guys deserve a break.

That was tough to watch but, we've won games off of others being (nearly) as stooopit so....this must have been our turn.

However....on a second down....that was REALLY hard to watch.

Ya know....I'd agree with that but for this; it's happened too often (winning) with the Hawks to claim it's a fluke.

I remember one day thinking "what the fuck has Tom Hanks/Robert Redford (etc.) got that I don't have? They're nobody special...I could do that.....how is anyone worth 10 - 20 million for 3 months work?"

And then I remembered....I never tried (to do what they do) and....they earned it.

They put the time in.

There's an old story....Socialite hires a virtuoso to play the piano at her annual party. All the right people, and he was there as much for the beauty of his music and skill as to be able to say "I have/can afford to have (so and so) at my party".

The equivalent of having Beyonce (or in my age....The Beatles or similar) play at your private party.

The guy plays, fabulously, takes a small break and the Socialite announces to the entire party...."I would give ANYTHING to play like you do" and the virtuoso, perturbed, even insulted, said "no you wouldn't"....she said "of course I would....I'd give my life".

He said..."I did".

Anyone that inherits a million bucks and still has that same amount in 5 years is a fairly decent businessperson.

Anyone that has turned that same million into some larger number 5 years later...."earned it".

The Packers made some dumb moves that day. The Hawks benefited from some of those errors, but they also took some crazy chances (such as the pass to the end zone on the left side that effectively won the game....on a 4th down).

The Broncos stumbled horribly in 2014....probably half the NFL could have won that game but.....they didn't.

The SeaHawks did.

In 2015, February 1, the Hawks made some crazy penetrations and scores in the 2nd and 3rd quarters on Sunday that the Patriots should never have allowed, but....the SeaHawks made an awful decision when it mattered and, you know why the Patriots deserved to win?

Because at the end of the game, they had more points than the Hawks and that's why they're the Super Bowl champs and the Hawks aren't.

Considering the Hawks record over the last 4+ years, I'd have to disagree....they've earned their place at the top and....they'll be back again.

It's that simple.

This is one of the best analyses of the game that I have seen, read or heard.

Lookie, as a fellow Seattleite, I'm sure you've heard a lot of the same things that I have over the past several days. Last night, I was listening to a portion of a radio call-in program, wherein the theme was "talk it out". Literally, don't keep the frustrations in...just call and vent. I thought it was a great idea, until the topic of the "philosophy of football" came up. Ok...I *get* football. I'm a college graduate. But once the conversation turns to why Seattle should have won because of some philosophical nonsense..I couldn't follow. From what I could gather, even though NE scored more points, Seattle was the "better team" and should have won. Yeah, I don't get it either...

It reminds me of the silly question that is asked of the coach of a team that is losing after halftime. "What do you need to do in the second half?" "Score more points than they do?"

It's not rocket surgery. Some really good plays, a couple of lucky ones, and a questionable call all added up to the Hawks losing. There's a reason why an actual game is played and the Lombardi trophy isn't just given to the "best team on paper". Any given Sunday....

For sure they will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come. No doubt about that.

Yup, just like any play in the NFL. If it works, it's great. If it doesn't...well...yeah.

It will be interesting to see who's on the Hawks roster come September.

I heard speculation that had Lynch ran it in,he would have wound up receiving the MVP.....a sight that Hawks management wasn't necessarily keen to see.That they have no plans to sign him for next year.
The 81(IIRC) World Series Steinbrenner ordered his manager not to play Reggie Jackson in game three(the Yankees led the series 2 games to 0) against the Dodgers .Reggie was a free agent and The Boss had no intention of re-signing him
The Yankees never won another game that Series and Steinbrenner reportedly got into a fight with some Dodger fans in the elevator after the deciding game.
That was his story anyway,I somehow doubt two unruly fans were riding the elevator with the Boss...he punched a damm wall lol

The conspiracy theory was out within minutes of the interception.

I'm wondering if even the most skeptical person would lend any credence to it.

Best explanation I have heard - it was about clock management

Run it and fail three times with under thirty seconds to go and just one time out and you will be forced to throw, to stop the clock

And the Pats would have known when you have to throw it

Rather than letting the Pats know theyre forced to throw it, throw it to stop the clock (if the pass is incomplete) early, to save time AND run a play that wasnt expected
