Found this tweet. Honestly, sums up my thought on this halftime show. Horrifying underwhelming and it felt shorter than in previous years.

Ok off work and at home with a big bowl of spice posole. Really glad I didn't miss anything in the first half

Go Jared Goff!!!

Is there a game today?

TAC · « **Reply #3293 on:** February 03, 2019, 06:53:32 PM »

This is like watching a damn preseason game.

lonestar · « **Reply #3294 on:** February 03, 2019, 06:55:18 PM »

Yep, it's quite painful.

Not sure what you guys saw. I saw The Office during halftime. Of course, I immediately changed to Comedy Central and didn't switch back until about a minute into the 3rd.

Frankly, it was the best halftime in years.

Yeah I had the priority of getting my posole ready.

Almost a game changing oops there...

No doubt.

That was a huge penalty.

Didn't win anything from my pool picks though.

Congrats Joe! Your team is your team and man......I can’t imagime how great it feels to experience these Championships as a fan.

TAC · « **Reply #3304 on:** February 03, 2019, 08:12:28 PM »

Jeez, that didn't even feel like a win.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3305 on:** February 03, 2019, 08:18:18 PM »

It never gets old. I will never see a run like this in my lifetime. Amazing.

Would’ve been a much better game if the refs didn’t have their heads up their asses in the NFC Championship game, but congrats Pats fans

Another masterful game plan from Belichick.

Oyyy, we've gone from Beyonce/Coldplay/Bruno Mars to Lady Gaga to Justin Timberblake to Maroon 5. Honestly, this is a huge downgrade in comparison to previous years.

Honestly, I really think the people in the crowd near the stage are plants. There's no way they would be this pumped for Maroon 5 in their own shows.

Who is Maroon 5? All I saw was the Adam Levine Pec Show. I LIKE Adam Levine and I thought that was ridiculous. The place is going whack like it's a Kiss concert, with flames and what not.. and he's standing there, facing the camera (like Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing") singing "She will be loved!" Get the f*** out of here.

I've been wearing my Patriots jersey around town this weekend, and when somebody would comment on it I'd say "you know, this only happens once a year," and then laugh walking away. They kind of do make it easy.

Not the most exciting SB ever, but I didn't find it boring at all. Good D and ST, and spurts of good O when it was needed. And the game was still up in the air until the final minutes. Nothing boring about it.

Hats off to Greg. Hope the experience of going was worth it. Highly doubt it'll be the last time.

I enjoyed the halftime show a lot. We watched the first five songs of Blaze Bayley Alive in Poland. No idea why people watch what the NFL provides.

Well, at least I was reminded why I gave up on the NFL 2 years ago. That was easily the worst SB in the history of ever, possibly the worst championship game in history, and definitely the worst football game I can remember sitting thru - though, I had it on the DVR, started around 8ET, and just kept it on a slow fast-forward - though, I did watch the US commercials. Some good stuff there.

Summary - worst sportsball game ever.

I feel bad for any Rams fans who bought any gear with the Super Bowl logo....for this year it shows the Rams result and how many points they scored.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #3316 on:** February 04, 2019, 07:04:17 AM »

The game was almost as boring as that sport the rest of the world calls football, but at least we had hours of commercials

Anxiety35 · « **Reply #3317 on:** February 04, 2019, 09:15:04 AM »

Everything about the Super Bowl was a huge step down, unless you're a Patriots fan. I can't imagine what it's like to have your team win 6 championships in an era. Congrats to them.

Commercials were meh.
Game was meh.
Halftime show was meh (and that's being nice).

Game was in Atlanta which sums up Georgia sports. There's a build up and excitement for the big game only to be let down by the outcome.

One thing about the halftime show. With the rich music history of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, why not peg an artist who represents the geographical area? Throwing in BigBoi for 30 seconds was the NFL throwing a small bone to the Atlanta market and was lame. No Andre3000, no OutKast. Nice try.

The should declare a do-over and come back next week and play it again.

The thing about it is that, if Goff hadn't thrown that interception with 2:43 remaining, the game could have been tied and set up for one of Brady's patented last minute game winning drives. As it was, unless you're really into stellar defensive play, it was just an ugly game.

I usually get up and do something during halftime, but it was raining, so I sat in the room with the TV but didn't really watched it. It seemed pretty bad, but I think they've almost all been pretty bad.

Even the commercials were downers. The Bud Light commercials are always good for a chuckle. The T-Mobile ads were fairly amusing. We liked the Amazon ad with Harrison Ford. Can't remember much else that was any good. There seemed to be a LOT of long, McConaghey-esque type commercials. I generally gave up on paying attention before they got to the point.

Dream Team · « **Reply #3319 on:** February 04, 2019, 12:11:35 PM »

Sheesh, what a year this ended up being. Brady plays like ass, has a 27 QBR, but since BB is a defensive wizard and the other QB was even stinkier ass, they win anyway. 13 points and a win

. The Rams' D deserved better, they balled all day and Cooks dropped 2 TD passes. One was Goff's fault for throwing an hour late but he should have held the other even while being interfered with a little. Also McVay's game plan sucked hard.

Now let's everyone be sane and have some rational perspective. This is NOT the greatest sports dynasty of all time. First point: you can't go 10 years without a championship and call that period a dynasty. The Steelers and Giants each won 2 Super Bowls from 2005-2014 while the Patriots had 0. You can call it 2 mini-dynasties from 2001-2004 and 2014-2018 if you'd like, no argument there. Second point: Boston fans are disrespecting THEIR OWN basketball team, who had a real dynasty in the 60s - 8 straight championships! The Bulls had 6 in 8 years. But the greatest dynasty of all time is still the New York Yankees from 1923-1962. They won 20 championships in 39 years, including 5 in a row, 4 in a row, and 12 of 17 from 1936-1953. And it's HARDER in baseball, because you can't get the ball to your star player every play like you can with a QB or point guard.

So congrats to the Pats, you're now tied with Pittsburgh with 6 Lombardis, but let's have a clear head about dynasties.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #3320 on:** February 04, 2019, 12:23:15 PM »

RK, BB and TB make this a Dynasty. And what they have done in the era of free agency is more impressive than what any other Dynasty in any other sport has ever accomplished.

Yeah; read "Dynasty" by Peter Golenbock, about the Yankee teams from '49 to '64. You have guys like Joe Collins, Gil McDougall, Hank Bauer, that were All-Stars on any other team coming to camp with the mindset that "I have to earn my job". This is one of the things I like about Belichick, and why he's the last of his breed: he is asking guys that are Hall of Famers to fight like they're rookies. Some do it (Wilfork, Edelman, most of his O-line) and you have some that don't want to (Welker, Blount, I guess Butler) and they're buying Pats Super Bowl swag from that infomercial that airs immediately following the game. Brady - arguably the greatest of all time , if not, then one of them - saying to anyone that would listen, "Not happy with the way the offense played today". That's not fake humility; by all accounts, that's what he REALLY feels.

And not to pick on anyone, but to say "Goff didn't this" or the "Rams D didn't that", I think there's at least 50-50 credit to the Pats for disrupting their scheme. The one thing I can say the Rams DIDN'T do is adjust quickly enough. But honestly? I think the Rams will be back, but that was age over beauty last night. No knock at all to be schooled by a Jedi like Belichick.

I'm not sure I get this. There is a QB and coach in place for both. They've been competitive throughout this 18 years. It's semantics not to call it a dynasty. Call it 2 dynasty's if you'd like. It doesn't really matter.

TAC · « **Reply #3323 on:** February 04, 2019, 01:39:26 PM »

Right..
From 2005-2013, the Patriots:

Made the playoffs in 8 of the 9 years (Went 11-5 in 2008 with Matt Cassel)
12-4 ave W-L record
Reached the AFC Championship in 5 of the 9 years
Reached the Superbowl twice

Pretty sure 26 other teams would've loved to have had a run like that.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #3324 on:** February 04, 2019, 01:59:26 PM »

Uh ... yeah... even as a Pats - nay, BOSTON - hater, I will acknowledge that this is a 18 year dynasty. The others are impressive for their own reasons, but in the era of 'equality' across the league, what the Pats have accomplished is deserving of the 'dynasty' moniker.
