Super Bowl XLIX: New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks

[MuppetsRule]

I'm so excited! I was dying in the last few minutes, especially after that bizarre catch, but the Patriots pulled it out! Definitely questionable play calls by Seattle at the end.

Best back in football and Seattle throws it from the 1 yard line. Perhaps the stupidest call in the history of football.

And he had almost scored on the play before! I get they wanted to catch the defense off-guard, but you have to play to your strengths at that moment. It's the title game, do what got you to that point if you're Seattle.

I'm so excited that the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl.

I'm still not over the fact that the Seahawks threw the ball and had it intercepted. YOU DON'T DO THAT when you're 1 yard within winning the biggest game in all of sports. Give the ball to Marshawn Lynch! And although I still maintain that the Pats cheated to get to the Super Bowl, I am happy that they got the win. They were the better team that night, since they did come back from a 10-point deficit.

Russell Wilson has many more years to improve, whereas this might be Tom Brady's last hurrah. The Seahawks are a pretty young team, so they all still have good legs, arms, and mentalities. Wilson is only 25, Lynch is 28, and both Richard Sherman and Chris Matthews are 25. Here's hoping that the Seahawks win SB50.

There's going to be a parade in Boston tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

We won!

 

[MikaelaMuppet]

We won!

I know! It's really awesome!

 

[Mynameisdean]

Yeah, Pete Carroll's play call was historically bad!
