Super Bowl 53

[dolphins4life]

I don't know if I will watch this one.

Brady proves once again on Sunday that he is the luckiest person on the face of the Earth.  His team has won the toss in all three of his overtime playoff games.

The Chiefs had the game won, but a stupid offsides penalty gave the trophy to NE. 

The refs were fine in this game.  If anything they benefited KC.  It's just so difficult to watch.

[Cathal]

Yeah, it'll probably be another Superbowl I won't watch.

Sometimes you just have to wonder. That Saints game was messed up. NFL has a lot riding on LA teams succeeding, just saying.

No way they benefited KC.  They blew a bunch of calls in favor of NE.

After today's events, the ref stealing a victory from the Saints and the Pats winning again, I have zero interest in watching the Super Bowl.  I give the Patriots their due, but I'm gonna pass on the game this year.

So now I’m a Rams fan. I’m really running out of teams to cheer for. I’ll be watching the super bowl because, we’ll, it’s the SuperBowl. Come on people. It’s the freaking Super Bowl. How can you not watch?

1.  Roughing the passer against the Chiefs when he didn't hit Brady's helmet, kept their drive alive, otherwise KC wins with the lead.

2.  Edelmen clearly dropped a pass that was challenged, but they called it a catch.

3.  In the same breath that muffled punt fumble of Edelmen was way to close to say it didn't hit him.

4.  Pats holding on almost every play like they've always done, but it wasn't called.

We must have been watching different games.

That phantom roughing call for Brady was atrocious. Total game changer.

[Phishfan]

I'll be watching. It would take something major to keep me away from the Super Bowl

[stinkfish]

I hope that Brady is ok after that vicious roughing the passer hit that he took. Actually, given the windchill, the breeze that the defender’s hand must have created as it went by Brady’s face could have caused a significant windburn injury to his beautiful face. I guess it was justified.

This happened after the game was already lost, but a stupid defensive holding penalty away from the ball reversed Kelce's fumble.

[dolphins4life]

Spider:  A defensive holding call is not insignificant, because it takes a receiver out of the play. 

Tenshot:  We watched the same game.  You just watch games with Patriots hater goggles.  You say the Patriots get away with holding after every game, like in the Super Bowl against the Falcons.  The replay CLEARLY showed that the ball did not make contact with either of Edelman's thumbs.  You are not alone.  For example, somebody after the Falcons Super Bowl, posted an article saying the Patriots got away with a facemask.  One problem:  The replay clearly shows the Falcons player grabbing the Patriots players facemask.  Or in the AFC title game against the Broncos when somebody said it was not clear if a backwards pass was backward, even though the replay clearly showed it was.

Stinkfish, that roughing the passer call was indeed bogus, but it would have been third down and seven for the Patriots.  They converted three third down and longs in their overtime drive, I think they would have converted that one too.

Ironically the missed call on the pick play may have hurt the Chiefs.  It may have forced them to score too quickly. 

In the past five seasons Tom Brady has had four multi-interception playoff games.  His teams are 3-1 in those games.   This is why I do not consider him the GOAT.

The ball did not go to that receiver.

But I suppose your point is that a defender getting to line up on the offensive side of the ball doesn't matter?

Yep...exactly.

[Dave Gray]

The Patriots got several calls all in a row down the stretch.  The roughing call on Brady was awful.  But even the overturn of the muffed punt.  Do you think the Dolphins get that call OVERTURNED against the Patriots?  Not in a million years.
