I think we have heard and discussed most of the obvious stuff that happened in the SB (ie. Seattle's "disastrous" play call), so I thought I'd offer some things that caught my attention, even if not the most talked about:
1) Chris Matthews, who played 2 years for our CFL team - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who was barely on the roster, comes up with the onside kickoff against Green Bay, and then has a whale of game yesterday, and is a great candidate for MVP if Seattle wins. This, after not catching a ball in The NFL! (I know, this was a story, but had to mention it again, given he played here in Winnipeg!)
2) Bill Belichick looked like a deer in the headlights in the last minute, not knowing what to do with his time outs. If Seattle wanted to, they could have basically killed the clock with the winning score....didn't happen, as you know.
3) The key play of the game might have been Lane's interception on Tom Brady.....given his ensuing injury changes the way Seattle defends for the rest of the game.
4) Perhaps there is karma.....Seattle seemed too lucky in NFC Final against Green Bay, but then makes a play that almost no one sees coming to lose. Also proves that Wilson is human.
5) Another key play was the missed pass interference call, that was not called, when the Pats Dback tripped but reached out to trip The Seattle receiver with his arm. I forget who the players were, but that would have been a good gain when Seattle was having trouble moving the ball in the 4th Q.
6) The fact that Seattle lives by the sword, and ultimately died by the sword. Listen, not letting them off the hook, but they do make a lot of calls that most would not. Think about the fake field goal against The Pack, and the TD yesterday with a few seconds left in the 1st half. Hey, if it works, you're a hero!
