NFL Week 21 (Super Bowl XLIX game time thread)

Yup, based on early results this thing looks like it has the potential to be a run away.

No INT that time.

Enjoyed the polar bear in a sombrero. After Kate Upton’s boobs, that’s the highlight of the commercials so far for me.

Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer Kate Upton’s face more than her boobs.

And Seattle stops NE. Now they really need to get a receiver open.

Wow, that was a downer. Thanks, nationwide. Is it really worth $2 million to make half the population of the U.S. associate your brand with dead kids?

Wait, I almost posted about that in the commercial thread. Those are real?

wow! nice catch!

and touchdown!

And Seattle evens the score.

ETA: first half seems to have flown by, by American football standards.

Yeah, I came in here to bitch about the Nationwide commercial. Thanks for putting it so succintly: when I think of Nationwide, I now vaguely feel that they’re trying to kill my kid.

Yup, 100%. Delightful really.

Wait. Why did the clock continued to run if the player stepped out of bounds?

It has, and especially by Super Bowl standards. Of course, now we’re heading into the two minute slowdown. Even so, I imagine the musical performers are having to get ready earlier than they expected.

How times have changed for Go Daddy…

touchdown!

And another machine-like NE drive, unfortunately.

Me before the play: “Hey, look. Gronk being covered out wide by a linebacker…”

There’s a thread over here in Café Society for comments on the commercials. This thread is for comments on the game.

Kudos to Josh McDaniels for developing a dink and dunk offensive scheme that has worked against Seattle.
