Re: Superbowl

i don't follow it. but am trying to work it out as i watch.

if one team thinks there was a foul do they have to appeal for it by throwing down a plastic yellow flag?

you've been reduced to beer? hope it's not stella as MJ will drink you!

[QUOTE=Hos]if one team thinks there was a foul do they have to appeal for it by throwing down a plastic yellow flag?[/QUOTE] the referees will usually catch just about anything and throw a flag. if it wasn't caught by the ref or the team wants to dispute it, they can

TOUCHDOWN!

seahawks are coming back.

Re: Superbowl

#558960Post 9 of 45

Re: Superbowl

so those flags are from refs on the sidelines?

#558961Post 10 of 45

Re: Superbowl

so what's 2nd & 10 for example?

#558962Post 11 of 45

Re: Superbowl

A team has four downs to get a 1st down, which means the teams needs to advance ten yards or more. If a team doesn't advance ten yards in four downs then the ball is turned over to the other team. So 2nd & 10 means that it's the team's second chance to get 10 yards or more and they still have 10 yards to go to make a 1st down. That's the best way I can explain it...

#558963Post 12 of 45

Re: Superbowl

2nd down, 10 yards left before the ball is overturned to the other team. the team is given an opportunity to run the ball 30 yards in 4 plays(downs, basically), and if they can't make it they have to forfeit the ball. if they make it past the 30 yards, they're reset back to 1 down and have a new 30-yard stretch, or whatever distance the goal is... whichever is closer.

Re: Superbowl

#558971Post 17 of 45

Re: Superbowl

100 between the inner edges of each goal line. The goal posts are on the outer edge of each goal... 120 yards between posts i think

Re: Superbowl

Final Score....

Steelers 21 - Seahawks 10

#558980Post 21 of 45

Re: Superbowl

oh well.

not exactly a classic was it, and not just from the perspective of a seahawks fan.

seahawks were shit. steelers were shit. referees were shit.

probably the worst possible game to watch from a non-biased perspective i would think...

cant see us getting this far next year, especially if alexander goes.

Re: Superbowl

Tonight me and my ex-girlfriend attended the same superbowl party thrown by a friend who is as mutual as our decision to break up. We arrived at the same time and shared an elevator, which meant that we tossed our coats onto the bed one after the other.

On the walk home, I started to panic and I couldn't tell why. My façade of "I just feel like things are only going to get better" was falling apart, and I could feel the crumbling pieces pile into your belly. My steps grew heavier as I climbed out of the subway and I wondered whether I could make it home or whether I should fall to the base of a building and just stop breathing.

Breathing. I was breathing in her scent! Our coats rested on top of each other, and now my coat smells like her coat... I'm going to sleep with my coat in my arms tonight.

Tomorrow I'll call in sick and stay in bed with my face buried in the meat of my coat. I pray to God that she's doing the same thing with her coat.

Re: Superbowl

Congrats to all you Steelers fans. The Steelers really did well beating some great teams in the playoffs. Tonight's game was boring though. I thought the Steelers-Colts game was more entertaining.

Re: Superbowl

Is it just me or were there some seriously bad calls by the refs?

Re: Superbowl

boring game. i had more fun watching the one month old baby at the party i was at. regardless, congrats to the steelers. glad to see bettis get one before he retires.

#559120Post 36 of 45

Re: Superbowl

bad bad bad bad refereeing.

examples: darrell jackson's offensive pass interference for his catch in the endzone - no way you'd see that bullshit called in the regular season ben r's td run - didnt look like he got in at all.... shocked that they didnt overturn it low block call on hasselbeck - 15 yard penalty... ben r. did the same fucking thing on the following drive and no call at all.

oh well... not like i expected seattle to make it that far anyway, glad they had a good season... and good for bettis, the rest of the steelers can fuck off :lol:

[quote=peloquin] low block call on hasselbeck - 15 yard penalty... ben r. did the same fucking thing on the following drive and no call at all.[/quote]

Saw that too - same call went against Brady during the Jacksonville game in the Divisional Round as well. Also i think it was Alexander who got horsecollared to hell towards the end of the 3rd - no call on that one either. I doubt there was a fix, it's just that the officials were fucking terrible.

The Hawks will be a contender for a while though, with or without #37. The NFC West is shit and that home crowd almost guarantees 8 wins a season - they might be like the Eagles were the past four or five years (minus this season and that whole "sucking in the NFC championship games" thing).
