Everyone keeps on talking about that dumb play call and how Seattle ‘handed’ the win to New England, which is of course ********. If not for that David Copperfield circus catch by Kearse, the Seahawks would have been looking at 4th and long (if I’m not mistaken) back in their own territory. I wish that freaking catch would have never happened, hopefully we would have taken over on downs, and maybe even put another 3 points just for good measure (31-24).
Don’t get me wrong. I couldn’t be prouder of our team and that championship play by Butler was pure money. But all everyone is talking about is how Seattle lost the SB instead of how New England won it. People keep on overlooking our offense and the fact that TB put 4 TDs on the top defense in the league. Last year it was all about how this top defense embarrassed the top offense, yet this year, no one is talking about how our offense pretty much kicked this defense’s ass. We were moving the ball in the second half almost at will.
I just hope the game would have ended differently, without that need for some magic at the end. No one is giving New England the credit and respect they deserve for beating Seattle and winning the SB. We’re only a week removed from the big game, and no one even remembers there was a superbowl just a week ago.

For example, Seattles win last year. There probably wasn't any one moment that defined the game.
I understand what you are saying but I think the way it ended was perfect.
Just as the game ended the first thing Butler said to some media-bag was he saw that play on tape and was well prepared for that situation.
The first thing he said was BB coached him for that moment. An undrafted rookie, back up corner was coached so well that in the most pressure filled moment of that young mans sporting life he exploded into action and did exactly what he was taught to do. It wasn't big name over paid players making a play... it was football players doing their job. It was Patriot football.
It perfectly illustrated BB's superior ability as coach. And while a big win would have made people say "oh my gosh" this win made people take notice and say "oh my gosh BB really is that much smarter" .
