Anyone know what the Patriots were penalized for after the Butler interception? I didn't see anything live.

And streaked all the way out to the big logo on the 50-yard line. Dumb move, but it didn't cost the Pats in the end.
Yeah, it was talked about earlier with the scene from Belichick's A Football Life but those six inches aren't really going to hurt you that much. Especially when Seattle gives you five yards back before the next snap. I think Browner is worth the penalties but I also think stuff like that contributes to the target on him that refs seem to have.
One of the best parts is Devlin running over to try to get Gronk out of the fray.phrenile said:
As the camera pans away to follow the fight, you can see Brady calmly kneeling, Sherman approaching him and photographers closing in...looks like the scene developing that resulted in the handshake photo.
Looks like several Seahawks left the sidelines and ran over to the end zone. Should have been more than one flag on them.

So that happened before the final play (which was after the fight and the 15 yard penalty)
It is great, but I am stunned (and slightly unsettled) at the number of uncalled helmet to helmet hits, given how this was supposed to be such a point of emphasis this year.

I'm ok with the loose refereeing in general, but yeah that was disturbing. The hit on JE was huge, he must have a head made of rocks (very clear he wasn't concussed on replay...that it was his hip that was hurting).
Lots of fun to watch that replay of the 4th quarter. Man, Butler was balling. Great in run support as well as in pass protection. And, by the way, at some point there was discussion here of Hightower's great tackle of Lynch to stop him at the 1. I think Chung may have helped, too, by tripping up Lynch's left ankle a bit -- hard to tell precisely.

I feel like if they called the helmet to helmet hit from Chancellor to Edelman, they probably would have also required Edelman to head to the sideline for a concussion evaluation immediately after.
You gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.
Good point. And this is why it's always a little weak to complain about the refs - great teams win no matter what. Pats definitely had a couple places to whine had they lost, but they won anyways.Three10toLeft said:
Anyone else thinking the one handed catch by Vereen was actually intended for Edelman? I've watched it a couple times and kinda think maybe Edelman was the intended target. Not a big deal obvious, but interesting play... It just doesn't get old watching these highlights and recap shows.
On the view from NBCSports it definitely felt like it was intended for Jules, and then Vereen's left hand appeared out of nowhere to grab it.normstalls said:

We'll definitely need to hunt down a copy of this as well, missed it last night.
On Inside the NFL there was a neat part from the Seahawks bench, just after the Patriots got it to 24 - 21. Jermaine Kearse is telling a guy who I think is a Seahawks coach "they benched 25, 21 is playing." The coach "oh?", Kearse repeated "they benched 25, do you know that?" Kearse repeats it again to some other coach looking guys and they say "I know". I was thinking it would be really cool if during that piece NFL Films dubbed in a soundbite of dun dun dun dun dun dun..., the Jaws movie sound background, for what 21 was going to do later.
For some reason, the piece above also reminded me of the statement NFL Films caught Dexter McCleon with back in SB XXXVI, just before the final drive: "and Tom Brady, he's overrated". Rams teammate nods affirmatively. Don't know why except enemy bench stuff. Kearse was being informative, McCleon was being delusional.

Lost in the shuffle, but on play before's Butler's (the Hightower/Ayers tackle), Chung is playing run support and swoops in to take out the lead blocker and gets his fucking bell rung. He's slow to get up afterwards, but props to him for taking out that fullback (and having somewhat of a comeback season).
Edit: Seattle's FB is listed at 280lbs. How many fingers, Patrick?

Brady's pregame speech gave me goosebumps.ragnarok725 said:
"It's about HONOR. It's about RESPECT..."
I watched that Turning Point show last night with one extremely casual fan and one completely non-fan of sports. They were both captivated by the in-game audio and also the breakdown & slow-mo replays of key plays in the game. They both felt they could now understand much more the action they were seeing in the game. Instead of running such programs at midnight for the diehards, the NFL should figure out how to get such programs seen by folks beyond the existing fanbase.
Sick of the financial channels, so went over to NFLN and Sound FX is on again..."this is like the Baltimore game. There are no new plays. If everybody does their job...". Does any coach in any sport give in-game pep talks like BB? I don't think so, or at least ones that work.
On the Gronk TD pass, Carroll even KNEW they were going to throw it to 87 and they still put a LB on him. Simply stupid.
They're not even pep talks, they're statement of facts. And they players know he's right based on his genius and history, so they abide by what he says, and it works. Pete Carroll really sounded like a fool while mic'd up.Al Zarilla said:
I will admit a possibly superficial bias against the cheerleader-y ways of one Pete Carroll, and it's certainly unfair to slam him with a clearly unsupportable blanket statement like, "You can't win coaching like that" because it obviously goes without saying that you can, and that HE can, and that he has, and very nearly did again. (Okay - who's ready for the "BUT?")DukeSox said:
BUT there's something seriously cringe-worthy about his behavior on the sidelines. And if nothing else, that "Oh NO!!!!" shriek at the moment of the Butler pick - I mean, gosh. It's just this awful, vulnerable, humiliating and, yeah, I guess, very human moment. That's a tough one to have on tape for the rest of time. I can't decide whether to laugh or look away. Probably a bit of both.
One of my favorite "after game" moments comes right after the Brady-Belichick hug. The camera pulls back and you get a full look toward the end zone, field covered with people, but right in the middle foreground is Willie McGinest. And standing in front of him, slapping him repeatedly on the chest, once, twice, five times, is Julian Edelman. And the camera lingers on the shot long enough that even from the distance, you can see that smile on Willie's face. It's the "welcome to the club" smile.
