great punt, but sure would like to have seen them go for it, after the penalty....no matter how good the punt, you dont gain much punting from the 36...

Indy is dead set on establishing the play action. I prefer the no huddle hurry up and throw, but I guess that is a reason I am not coaching. LOL

Marino and Co. nearly PROMISED during pregame hoopla that weather would have little/no effect on game. This leads to a reminder of rule no. 1 for those who would invest in the outcome of games: NEVER trust what the talking heads say about factors which could be interpreted to effect viewership; they care only about ratings, and will say whatever their handlers believe will have a positive effect on same. . .i.e., bad weather will lower scoring, which the networks believe the casual fans don't like. Ergo, the talent must poo-poo the possibility that the weather will negatively affect the scoring.

There are 30 points already and counting. Have to disagree as far as scoring is concerned. Level of play yes, but that does not equate naturally into lower scoring.

Re: ** Superbowl In-Game Thread **............

Wrigley, I agree that the scoring has apparently not been lowered b/c of weather here. As a matter of fact, I don't really buy into a straight one-to-one correlation between bad weather and lower scoring in the NFL where two good teams are involved. What I was trying to say was that as a general rule, I believe that the networks think the casual fan equates bad weather with lower scoring. Because the networks know they already have us, the dedicated fan, they try mightily to obtain the casual fan, who the networks believe don't like lower scoring, and who equate bad weather with lower scoring. Therefore, the talking heads are instructed to opine that the weather won't have a negative effect on scoring. Sorry this went on much to long. . . .

This is unreal. Expect it out of Indy being a dome team but Chicago? Big game plus weather = mega tournovers.

Re: ** Superbowl In-Game Thread **............

would have liked that extra 3 points, but you're right general...

we get the ball first, need to go right down the field and score, put the pressure squarely on Grossman, and see what happens..

We're the same age and I thought he did great. Maybe its cause you just want the game over and a Colts victory.

Like i said, i didnt think it was horrible or anything, but there was a time when i would have been real happy to hear Prince was performing, and would have been watching with interest, today, not so much
