so Tony Romo cleared up $13M in cap space today ...

[Hootie]

(of course, like JJ Watt and Tom Brady, it means nothing, since they don't lose a single $ in the deal)

...

yet there are no articles on ESPN or Yahoo or anywhere talking about how great of a person this guy is!

GEE

WEIRD

!

I thought it was a case of Wilson being solid for the entire game, Brady being meh for the first half or 3/4, then going into God mode late. It kinda made Wilson look worse.

Had Brady played better the entire game, he wouldn't have needed the late heroics.

Of course this is solely an opinion and more than likely, wrong.

UNTIL THAT ****ING PLAYCALL THAT WAS THE DUMBEST ****ING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

Herm died when that play was called. Seriously. Has he been on TV lately? Is Herm dead?

Record for longest time gone without a completion
3/8 in the 1st and 4th quarter combined (one being the fluke Kearse catch)
Threw game losing INT

You live in a world of your own if you think that's a great performance.

you do realize that Seattle, like every stupid ****ing NFL team, decided to play "not to lose" once they built a 10 point lead rather than going for the jugular

and everyone conveniently forgets the game changing blatant defensive pass interference on Butler when he tripped and grabbed the Seattle receivers foot which prevented a first down and potentially a HUGE gain and probably the dagger in New England

...but I realize people aren't very sophisticated football viewers and only remember the convenient aspects of the game

This no call cost Seattle the Super Bowl and no one talks about it.

7:55 remaining, first-and-10 from the Seattle 20
Wilson's pass to Ricardo Lockette goes incomplete.
Running a crossing route, Lockette was open when Butler fell in coverage, but suddenly Lockette was on the ground too. Replays showed that Butler reached out as he went down and tripped Lockette.
It's hard to blame Butler; he was beat, and Lockette catching that pass at full speed would have gone for a bigger gain than would a pass interference penalty, but it's a trip officials should have caught.

The play call was what lost Seattle the game.

Colin Cowherd did an interview with Butler a day or 2 after the Super Bowl where the kid layed it all out.

1) there were a handful of times during the regular season when Seattle was in a similar scenario (needing a yard or 2 on the goal line) and in 5 out of 7 times that they didn't run Lynch (which they didn't convert when they did) they ran that EXACT SAME PLAY with slants and a quick throw.

2) Bill Bilicheck pulled Butler aside DURING SUPERBOWL WEEK when they were practicing situational football and this exact scenario came about and Bill showed him EXACTLY how to prepare for the play by taking inside position and as soon as the first step was made to jump in front of the receiver and get his hands up.

It wasn't by any means a lucky play for NE, they were prepared for the situation because Bevel is so predictable.

Bill baited Seattle into running that play on a rookie, thinking that had the best chance of success and it worked out beautifully.

There are amazingly stupid playcalls every single week. Just because there's a bad playcall doesn't excuse throwing an INT. Wilson could have placed the ball better. He could have audibled to a run. Something. Anything. I just don't buy the whole "The playcall was horrible so it makes him throwing a pick okay" logic.

It was probably a dagger? It was a 3 point game at that point, the ball was at the Seattle 20 and there was 8 minutes left in the game. Dagger? Haha.

Did the refs fail to complete a pass until the second quarter, go 3-10 on third down, and throw the biggest choke INT in NFL history?

No one made him throw that ball...

Can we please take note of this? Somebody on CP is actually admitting that they might be wrong. Someone please screen capture that post for record. Perhaps we should move this thread to HOC for safe keeping.

The play call didn't force him to throw an INT.

[Hootie]

so

in your opinion

every INT thrown by a QB is always the QB's fault

right?

That pass, in traffic, should have been low, into the receiver's hip.
That throw was high at in front of the receiver.

That was asking for a pick.

I really like Wilson, and believe he's far better than many give him credit for, but that pick was all on him.

Piss poor play call, but worse execution.

No. Some balls are tipped in the air and that's not on the QB most times.

But this was on Wilson. The ball placement was terrible. Why was he trying to lead Lockette at the 1 yard line? You throw that ball low and to the body.
