Rooting During the SB

I hated both teams.

I did consider the Seahawks the lesser of two evils, mainly bc of Richard Sherman and I think the LOB are a bunch of thugs. But I don't know what about the Russell Wilson praise bothers you. Is he overhyped? Yeah, but he's a good kid and has had a lot of big moments in the NFL already for someone as young as him. What bothers you about Tebow? He's arguably a little bit on the annoying side, but he's a good person. The NFL could use more personalities like his and I think there's a team out there that could use his leadership. Before the Jaguars drafted Bortles they were relying on Blaine Gabbert. I think not only could Tebow have outplayed Gabbert and won just as many or more games, he would've actually had people go to those games and watch them at home. I was a fan of Russell's at State, not bc I'm a State fan, I'm not, but bc he's fun to watch and just a great representation of the sport.

I've never said he's a better person or better QB than Romo, but that doesn't mean he's not still likable. I respect Romo on a different level than Russell Wilson, I think he's tougher and a greater player, I also think he does an incredible job at dealing with scrutiny. But I do think Russell Wilson's a likable guy. Just my 2 cents though I'm not saying you have to like him lol.

I never commented about those two QB's as far as the type of person each one is. I just don't like the over hyping of any pro athlete. When its over the top IMO it gives reason to not be a huge fan of that athlete. The Tebow mania hype was ridiculous. Way beyond being off the chain. After a while enough is enough.

About the game, I was going for NE the entire way. I don't get into the whole spygate or deflategate junk. Brady and Bill are the best duo ever arguably. 4-2 in Super Bowls and their only 2 losses were on some freak plays. Almost happened last night as well.

1 yard away from being 3-3. In fact each of those six SB's were decided by 4 points or less. Could just as easily be 0-6 as 6-0 in those games.

You lost me when you started saying how we deserved to be there. I'm over saying we should have won. This wasn't our year. We didn't have the killer instinct this year. We played too many games where we left the other team hanging around. It ended up biting us in the end since close games often come down to the referees. So I don't feel sorry about myself or my team.

But I do agree with you that Seattle didn't look like a team that should have been in the Super Bowl. They did have a ridiculously easy path to the Super Bowl. I'm not gonna cry about them getting the #1 seed though since the tie breaker rule is clear and it makes a lot of sense if you actually think about it. I also don't think Seattle is a very good team. Their final 10 games of the season were against a bunch of awful QBs. They got beat by Green Bay and GB gave it to them. They also would have probably got beat by Dallas and Detroit. And, most importantly, the more I watch Russell Wilson the more I realize how awful of a QB he is. Imagine how good Seattle would be with a half way decent QB.

Killer instinct? Dallas averaged 40 points the last 4 games.
