Michel?
Patriots now tied with Steelers, 6 rings.
Gotta hand it to the Pats. Got the ball at their own four with 4+ minutes to play up 7. They marched down the field for the game-clinching FG.
LOL, I said pretty much the same thing.
I loved seeing Marshawn in sweats and a slouch hat in the middle of all those other players in business suits, during the Walter Payton award ceremony.
Pats finally won by more than one score. Slackers.
I can’t remember a Super Bowl that was more “meh” than this one.
Don’t get me wrong: it was a competitive game between two good teams but the anticipation wasn’t there. There’s the stench of corporate shit that is the LA Rams and then there’s the Patriots, a team that’s been there every year. Additionally, the commercials were the dumbest ever.
The Patriots are now the undisputed most successful franchise in the history of the NFL. The Cowboys, 49ers, and Steelers can no longer make that claim.
Well, that was pretty much a waste of 3.5 hours.
I wonder what Sweetness would have thought?
I think Kraft was fairly blootered

From my Twitter feed:
#BREAKING: Super Bowl LIII has concluded and the Detroit Lions didn’t lose, extending the franchise’s record 53-year streak of not losing the Super Bowl.
Also, just saw this on ESPN:
The Michel TD run was the only red-zone play of the game. For both teams.
This is the case, and deserved (he was named MVP). As I said before at one point he was the only part of either offense that was playing at an elite level.
Cooks started to step up late, but it was too late (and not enough).
13-3. One team scored just one drop goal, or field goal as you guys call it and if I did my sums correctly, the winning team scored o e TD and 2 field goals.
Was the defending that good or the attack just that bad?
Yes. Boring first three quarters, horrible horrible halftime show, and the Patriots win at the end. Yech.
Yes.
The Rams were the second-highest scoring team in the NFL this season; the Patriots were the fifth-highest scoring team.
When two prolific offenses are held in check, credit has to be given to the defenses.
That was easily the worst Super Bowl I’ve ever watched. Not that I had to really WATCH the game, as it didn’t have anything exciting enough to warrant really pulling my attention from the iMessage conversation I was having with a ex-girlfriend about her new boyfriend. :rolleyes:
How so?
Personally, I loved the game itself - it’s always said the game is won in the trenches, and that was never more obvious than tonight. The defensive fronts for both teams manhandled their offensive counterparts, and it cascaded through the entire team.
I’ve said elsewhere - if you can’t find the beauty in two of the top offenses in the NFL getting told to sit the hell down, I feel for your soul.
Assuming you’re responding to the text you’d quoted, it’s simply because no other franchise has 6 Super Bowl wins. Especially not with the same head coach and QB for all of them.
Though the rest of your comment seems like a non sequitur so I’m not sure if you are.
I much prefer defensive struggles than offensive blowouts. But I also prefer college to pro football.
