The Super Bowl is a drag. A well know drag. The sooner it goes away, the better. ---

Manning’s passes look like they lack velocity. I think that’s going to spell doom for the Denver offense. ---

Oh, that’s worth a challenge! And the flag comes out. ---

> [@FlikTheBlue](#): > > Manning’s passes look like they lack velocity. Well, they have all year. And his long accuracy has stunk all year. If they win, it won’t be because Manning is firing away downfield. He has to do just enough. This game is almost entirely on the defense. ---

Mike Carey is wrong every single time. It’s kind of astounding. Also, I don’t like the rules that say that isn’t a catch. ---

Bad review call. That should have been a completion. ---

I’m rooting for Denver, but that call reeks of conspiracy. ---

As a very occasional Football watcher (like so many with the super bowl) I already feel I’m watching a sham. Will finish my beer and go to bed. Those refs are from Colorado, right? ---

Well, we can no longer claim the refs are biased. That was a harsh but fair call against the Broncs ---

Come on, Talib. It’s the fucking Super Bowl. Earlier, the teams showed signs of having a scuffle on the punt return. I think they’d better settle down and just play football. ---

Curious they pull out a taunting in the first quarter. Could set the precedent for more. ---

Looked like the other guy hit him to start it…no excuses for Talib letting it escalate though, especially when they’re winning. ---

No, Cam, you don’t get to keep running just because nobody committed a personal foul by hitting you after you slid. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2016-super-bowl/744364.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2016-super-bowl/744364.md?page=8)
