I was really hoping for a philly-pit Super Bowl but we just didn’t show up yesterday. We played to not lose instead of win. Now I’m rooting for a Jags-Viking SB. Anybody but the Pats... anybody at all!

I would have dug an all PA super bowl as well.
 
I think it would be cool to see a home team hosted Super Bowl. In the sense that maybe the game returns to the fans instead of a corporate show off event.

Also one of the reasons I am rooting for Vikings instead of Eagles.

It still will be. There are only like 5000 tickets or something stupid like that made available to the public for the SB.
 
i loved the commentating

so we have ummm these 4 qbs for next week

keenum, bortles, foles, and brady.....
 
Because his mystique is founded on a horrendous call. The Raiders should have been in and won SB36.

The rules about no longer being able to clobbeer QB coincide with his tenure. So even if he didn’t have anything to do with the changes his whining about being hit makes it look like he did.

The world is a more balanced place when the Patriots suck balls.
 
Ok, so I haven't seen much of it, but there are only 2 reasons that #43 of the Saints misses that hit:
1- He was avoiding hitting his head on the player. You can see him raise his hand to his head like he was trying to protect himself from a punch,
2- He intentionally missed and took out his team mate so that he couldn't pursue.

I can't see any other reason for it to have happened. You can see at the last minute he turns his body trajectory away from the viking player. Too many intentional movements to say it was all instinct.

I see that type of miss all the time. Nearly once per game and mostly when I'm watching college ball. It just doesn't usually end up being turned into a game winning TD at 00:00 in a divisional playoff game. I am always watching the D and their open-field tackling. Whiffs like that annoy the hell out of me. It used to happen less in my estimation. The cumulative effect of the rules about defenseless receivers and less hitting during practice in my estimation.

Brady probably has more playoff starts than these guys have regular season starts... :laughing

Foles can join a rather exclusive club of QBs with less than 3 starts in a season to take their team to the Super Bowl. (Roger Staubach, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler)

Tackle first, hit second... but tackles don't get replayed on Sportscenter.

I disagree. It was intentional. He meant to not make contact. Either he was scared of getting his brain scrambled or something-else, but it wasn't a whiff.

the rookie safety said his intention was to hit the receivers legs and tip him up to dump him inbounds, cause the clock to run out. said he misjudged the ball because he thought Diggs would try to catch and immediately fall out of bounds, not hang up for so long then pivot inward

the simplest explanation is human error. the red, bloodshot 'i've been crying' eyes of that kids were all too real

It looked to me like he went to play the ball, changed his idea mid-flight, tried to line up for a hit, and couldn't control his trajectory. Just a rook doin' rook stuff.
 
So far the only reason that makes sense that I have read is that he thought he was going to be there too quickly and peeled off to avoid the pass interference call.
