that call, oh dear
That was a terrible no call. Seemed to knock the wind out of the saints sails
two cracking championship games. I'm now torn who I want to win the final
That call will go down in NFL history, really thought the Saints would go all the way.
Pats now for me, which is the kiss of death.
is there no video replay in the NFL? I don't really follow it but got a bit hooked last night, and that looked pretty clear and obvious.

Automatic review on scores and turnovers, and most penalties are challengeable at the risk of a timeout as are a number of other referee rulings like whether a pass is complete. There's no challenge available for a penalty not given.
Yep, two stonking games. I've only watched the highlights but the Patriots game was great stuff. Rams have done well but the Pats will have them in the big one.
Being a Rams fan I really hope they can put one over on the Patriots. It is 17 years since the Rams last made it to the Superbowl and there has been a lot of shit seasons in that time. It was the Patriots that they met in the Superbowl 17 years ago and Brady and Belichick stopped a great Rams team. The Pats have subsequently gone on to build one of if not the the most successful NFL dynasties in the professional era. Whether you love them or you hate them every one know who the Patriots are.
It would make a pretty interesting story of the Patriots stopping the greatest show on turf 17 years ago for the Rams to come back with a team that is now braking records from that era and beat the Patriots.
It is going to be a nail biting affair, both teams have the ability to be explosive and creative on offence, the Pats have a stout defense but i think this is where the Rams edge them.
Who is staying up tonight to watch it then? Hope the Rams can pull it of
yep, about to have a tactical nap so I can stay awake
Gurley needs to turn up to this game for the Rams to have any chance of success
I have donned my lucky Patriots t shirt (worn for the 28-3 game), gathered snacks and beverages and have my sleeping bag ready for when the heating goes off.
Let's goooooooooo!!!
The key is always getting past the half time show which is Maroon 5, yuk. Where's Katy Perry when you need her?
I will try but usually I fall asleep and wake up confused.
My plan for the half time show is switch the nfl to the iPad and watch an episode of tin star. Have no interest in maroon 5 so hope that will get me through.
Also got a blanket ready for when the heating goes off!
I imagine by half time it's either listen to Maroon 5 or go for a shit. No competition really.
Only just getting back into NFL this year. Used to watch years ago on Channel 4 with Gary Imlach (what a legend). Won't be staying up tonight though. Will see if I can watch the highlights on www.nflgamepass.com tomorrow, or failing that the NFL Show with Chappers & Co...
I'm in. Told my boss I might be late in tomorrow...

I may have to ban your account for six hours.
I’m up for the duration. One of the benefits of working for myself I guess.
Heart wants the Rams, Head says the Patriots. Can the Rams shut down the Pats running game? It’ll be won and lost in the trenches I reckon.

**** me it's boring, isnt't it?
and all that padding? would be interesting to see how these guys fare at Aussie Rules or a game of rugby.
shite shite shite.
That’s the nature of the game. Deal with it!

not if you understand the game and love a bit of D

A little bit of history: Football has a history of player deaths: Between 1900 and 1905 alone, 45 players died. Hence, the padding.
With regard to the stop-start factor: I agree with sockpuppet's succinct summary: Saying football is too stop-start is a bit like saying "chess is a little too tactical", or "water is a bit wet, isn't it?" or "soccer involves too much kicking for my taste".
No wardrobe malfunction? I’m oot!
The highlight so far, longest punt in NFL history.
Super Bowl history no NFL.
Finally!
Game over. The patriots have expertly shut the Rams offence down.
Oh yeah!
Sure is over now.
Love the booing of Roger Goodell 🙂
As a game, it wasn't the best.
Made it to half time, enjoyed what I saw, very tactical.
Watched hilights, happy the Pats won.
MVP went to the right player.
Arranged to do a late shift today so that I could watch the SB and have a sleep in... but come yesterday afternoon I wasnt that bothered.... But brainwave !! ... Taped it and watched it this morning instead
Much better experience ... cup of tea and toast, fast forward the boring bits.... which to be fair was pretty much only Maroon 5 !!
Thought it was a good game ... great D as opposed to poor O being the reason for the low score.
Great that Edelman got the MVP ... as much as no one really likes the Pats and there is good reason to dislike Brady and Gronk, Edelman is a fantastic player.
Oh... and as a Chargers fan definitely feel better to have seen the Pats do the same job on others, as they did to us.
you've got to say that was an effective game plan & the players executed it petfectly.
What is the good reason to dislike Gronk and Brady?
I think we can all agree that it was my lucky T-shirt that made the difference.
I might have woken the dog up shouting when the Pats scored the TD.
As a Pats fan I get why some people would dislike Brady, no idea on Gronk unless they're jealous I mean have you SEEN his GF??? https://www.instagram.com/camillekostek/
