There's no doubt about that, but, and maybe I'm just totally biased, but for whatever reason, it feels like Seattle always gets the luckiest breaks when they need it most. Like always.

I hope you like REALLY tropical climates, Pete.

He's a good coach, ive always liked him despite some of his smugness but they got some very lucky breaks with the onside kick and the hail mary 2pt conversion. That doesnt have anything to do with coaching there.

Damn - Seattle is f'n salty good. Attitude triumps. Have to want to win.

It was a amazing game, but I just hate Seattle so much....

Thats some 2000 Ravens shit.

Im pulling for the Pats. Wont bother me if the Colts but im not sure the Colts can beat Seattle but then again after watching them comeback after being down 16-0 im not sure anyone can the rest of the year.

Probably about like it did here last week

only bright side, one of the guys I work with had a smug smile after the super bowl last year, he is a GB fan....

I doubt it. We had a bad game from start to finish and were never really in it. Greenbay simply bent over and let Seattle have its way with them after dominating 90% of the game.

You're right, I'm not a fan of his but he's winning and going for his second Super Bowl win in two years. Hats off to him.

Carroll is the best coach in the NFL right now period.

Great interview with WIlson - true emotion and heart. Hope they win it. That attitude is fun to watch.

Especially in 2005.

We were in it in the 3rd quarter when it was 14-10 but once they started swinging we hit the gound like fainting goats.

I guess I'll look at it this way. Sea fans will be so happy they will spend more money with me....heck I'll make a green and blue quilt....I love those colors....which has made all this sucking so much worse.

Enough knitting back to sewing....thanks for the fun and almost big, big happy....you're the best!

I'll root for anyone against the Patriots. If it it's Patsies/Seahawks, I'm rooting for SEA. If Indy gets in then I'll be a Colts fan.

Remember Lions@Cowboys, when a rookie stripped Stafford, tried to run, then got stripped in return? Not only did he keep Detroits season alive on a play that should've ended it, but the change of possession gave them a FIRST DOWN instead of 3rd and forever. Sliding was the right play there; Green Bay just has to either 1) get a first down or 2) not give up 3 straight TDs to an offense they'd SHUT OUT for 55:00.

I frankly think they flat got outcoached, especially Carroll vs. Capers. That fourth quarter and OT was the same Seattle offense and Pack D that had been out there all game, but suddenly the total dominance throughout 3½ quarters completely reversed. And when a Pete Carroll team's got 4th down in the red zone down 16-0 in the second half of a Conference Championship, how do you NOT play the fake? The FG's nearly automatic anyway, and it's still a two-score game either way: Just don't give up the low percentage TD.
