how bad does Dee Ford feel?

I initially thought edelman touched the punt. After watching the video I was not sure. The karma of the next play being an interception off edelman's hands was good

There were 2 passes that looked to be incomplete to me with how the ball moved in hogans hands. Looked like the ball touched the ground or bounced off it as he went to the ground with it. If it appears to bounce or be moved by the ground, then I don't believe the player has control, so its incomplete in my opinion. Ford should feel bad for his offsides. The roughing the passer calls where a players arm touched the qb in the chest as he threw looked bad, but not as bad as the PI in Saints vs Rams. Zebras did not do well today. I wanted Drew vs Tom, but at least my final pick here could be true

Should be a pretty high rated super bowl based on the markets, the X-Factor is the "Pats are in it every year".

Aside from the video replay, which was pretty conclusive for me, the really convincing think is how Edelman reacted to it. If he had even the slightest suspicion he touched it, he'd have turned and gone for the ball rather than leaving it. It's like a textbook play that should be reviewed - it looks one way in real time, 'cause everyone thought he'd touched it, but the replays show he didn't. You can't call it karma if they got the call right.

its more fate than karma
I still dont know why KC didn't try a little harder for endzone when they had the chance in regulation
the way the two defenses were playing, OT was pretty likely to come down to the coin toss

I don't feel the video gave conclusive proof one way or the other. When any video does that, I lean to keeping what was called. Since next play literally had something go off edelman's hands and into a chiefs, it felt like the world righting that.

I thought the Hogans first replay was a catch but the second was not.

Edelman should not have been mvp. It should have gone to a defensive player, or the defensive coordinator or the kicker. My choice would have been Stephon Gilmore.

Yay, this is the most boring superbowl I can remember. I would have preferred a blow out over this like the SEA vs DEN Superbowl a while back was better.

Best game this season to watch was the KC vs LAR game

I wanted to vote for Ryan Allen for MVP but stupid NFL didn't make him an option despite pinning the Rams inside the 20 on half his punts.

Great Question^

I think Gurley's health must have continued to be an issue, though that doesn't explain why only 7 carries for CJ

The bad call was bad in the saints vs rams game. Rams out performed saints in that game and got the ball second in OT, so I was completely fine with Rams being in super bowl before the super bowl happened. But given how boring last nights game was, I wish Saints had gotten in now.

it must have been pretty bad
i haven't heard anyone complaining about Maroon 5 yet


Which unusual, because as much as its annoying that the Pats are always in the SuperBowl, their games are usually pretty entertaining and close

there was a whole thing on yahoo yesterday about how their performance was bad and it should have been all rap given that they were in Atlanta.

I mean yeah, having the SB in ATL and not involving any of the myriad of amazing black artists that come from that area instead of the Maroon 5 of all things was pretty insulting
but since the SB has basically killed off a bunch of horrible acts, I was hoping M5 might be next in line

I wonder what the demographics are on the percentage of football fans that like rap vs. pop?

I figure that they had Maroon 5 play b/c they are like in house talent. Not everyone that watches football likes rap. The biggest two rock bands from Atlanta are Sevendust and Collective Soul, which I think are both great but not exactly household names.
