Super Meh Bowl

[adam]

This might be one of the worst SBs in quite some time, offenses playing scared.

Maye on pace for a top 5 "worst SB passing performances" of all time. Grogan had 177 passing yards in SB XX. Maye has 48 yards and has been sacked 3 times (19 net passing yards). The worst net passing ever was DEN in SB XII with 35 lol.  He needs 65 passing yards to pass Kerry Collins for 5th worst of all time.

3. NE - SB XX - 123 Gross Yards, 62 Net.

5. NYG - SB XXXV - Collins - 112 Gross Yards, 86 Net.

Honestly, I would sit with Caleb and dissect this game.  Learning what a Superbowl defense looks like could help hone his pursuit of perfection.

Will Campbell is getting killed.  I've heard his name like he is a skill position player.

Terrible Super Bowl. One of the worst ever. So boring.

I was told my pre-draft analysis of his ability to play LT was wrong....I was very happy he was off the board so early.

My biggest takeaway from this game is that we drafted the right QB.  That includes all I've seen throughout the playoffs.

He is definitely one that can disrupt a good pass rush.  I still love Maye, but Caleb is our guy.  He would have been the X factor.

Game was entertaining enough for me and the fam here in Hawaii .  Most everyone here was for the Hawks and from what I heard, loved the halftime show. 
 

Darnold is the first Qb from the 2018 draft class to play in and win a SB.  Maye is the first of the 2024 class to play in one.  Stats be damned.

The halftime show was excellent. It was positive and upbeat, and not political, and the production was probably the most logistically complicated one ever.

I mean, for example, Paul McCartney is the greatest, and id rather go to his concert than Bad Bunny's, but Id rather watch the production they made for Bad Bunny, than Paul standing there singing songs i like and have heard a million times. The staging and camerawork was SO impressive. Never seen anything like it in a "filmed live" production.

So the Coach of the Year and the MVP Runner-Up put up that type of performance in a Super Bowl? In the NFCC, Stafford put up over 370 Passing Yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, with only 1 sack, against SEA, and still lost. 

Seattle literally played the game knowing they were going to win unless they had a bad turnover or special teams blunder. That is such an indictment on Vrabel (entire coaching staff) and Maye. 

Vrabel had a chance to get the deficit to 11, but decided to kick an XP when that point was worthless. Then when the game is so far out of reach, he goes for 2, lol. 

If there ever was a discussion about strength of schedule, you can point to the 2025 Patriots as the poster children. 

[adam]

Pats are about to have one of the biggest falls from grace in recent memory. Next year they play the NFC North and AFC West. So besides their division, they play CHI, GB, DET, MIN, DEN, LAC, KC, JAX, and PIT. Considering the 2 games against BUF, that is 11 tough games. Who knows what MIA will look like with real coaching, so their only easy games are against NYJ, and LVR, and LVR will also look a lot different? 

I will go out on a limb and say they will finish at 8-9 and miss the playoffs, and that may even be generous considering their schedule.

I watched the other halftime show, but recorded the game.  After viewing the NFL halftime, my opinion stays the same.  The NFL chose potential growth and greed over the majority of it's loyal fans.  This may be the nail in Goodell's coffin.  People are already pissed about the streaming and such.(BTW, I agree with Lucky).

My buddy in Germany is pissed because there is only one game there this year.  For each German game, last year, there were 500k people actively pursuing tickets the day they were released.  So Goodell says, "we've hooked Germany", let's go elsewhere.  My friend couldn't even watch the game last night because they were doing pay per view.

About the performance.  The performance, choreography and music was good.  I simply can't get past the fact that many other artists would have put on a much more relatable show.  It's not just the singing in Spanish, because I love me some Three Tenors.  They and like artists perform songs we've heard throughout our lifetime and they do it with so much passion that I can feel it in my chest.(Jim Cornelison on the anthem). Bocceli opening the Olympics, the whole world felt!  There's the difference for me.  Viva Italia! 

So, meh is my vote.
