Is this the best you can do?

A QB with the worst quarterback rating in superbowl history,a team that had fewer total yards on the field.

The refs calling back TD after TD and even stevie wonder couldve saw the game was fixed.Yeah you sure told us so.........

I shouldve known the bettis story all but guranteed the stealers a win."STEALERS"

I thought superbowls were to be played on a nutral site,they were giving away terrible towels to any fan who wanted one at the door.And were selling stealer XL cahpion merchandise before the game even kicked off.

But no seahawk towels no seahawk XL championship merchandise......this game was fixed and everyone saw it.

If more than 2,000 people showed up to support the Seahawks, people might have made towels for the Seahawks. However, no one really cares about the Seahawks so why would they waste money making blue tissues when no one would want them???

I was listening to NPR the other day and they had a writer on from Seattle... cracking up about how the men where going to cry when the Seahawks lost... I thought he was joking... I thought wrong.

Not smack, just just something from my experience.

If "they" were giving away terrible towels, it could have easily been some other group doing it. When we went to Houston, the Boston Globe was giving Patriots stuff to everyone on the street - even offered stuff to us. We declined. I wished that a business in Charlotte would have stepped up and done something similar - maybe next time.

Detroit was a neutral site - but it just so happened that it was a 5 hour drive away for Pittsburgh natives. That's just bad luck. When it's in Arizona, Seattle will have the advantage over the East Coast teams, so if Seattle makes it, their fans should take advantage of it.

You possibly could be right,the towels were handed out inside the stadium to any fan that wanted them.

It could have been a private group,but watching the thousands of towels being swung around on TV just made me sick to my stomach when my buddy called my cell from the game and told me.

Pittsburgh outrushed your team. That's a more telling stat. And Roethlisberger had 5 3rd down completions for first downs to keep drives alive. He also ran one on 3rd down for a first as well. All in all the team was 8-15 on 3rd down conversions while Seattle finished 5-17. They got some yards, but couldn't sustain enough drives to get to the endzone often enough.

LMMFAO at "giving away terrible towels to any fan who wanted one"!!!!!!!!!

Buddy I was there, and I can assure you nobody was giving terrible towels away. They had them for sale, but they were $10. This is the superbowl man, you think Steelers fans just jumped on the bandwagon? Dude, 3 Rivers and now Heinz Field have had a sellout streak longer than the Seahawks have been in fuging existance. Terrible towels were hard to come by in Pittsburgh the week before the game. No Steelers fan showing up would hardly be without one. All those terrible towels you saw? Ninety nine percent of them were brought in by the fans, including my own.

The problem was that Steeler nation is 20 times bigger than Seahawks nation, and they carried that ratio into Ford Field. Pittsburgh fans bought the tickets, stayed at the hotels, and showed up to support their team. The Seahawks had home field all through the playoffs, but their fan base just wasn't big enough to help them much in the Superbowl.

Why didn't the Seahawks just come up with their own "towel" knockoff?

They coulda been the:

Caffeinated Kerchiefs

Boeings Bandanas

Microsoft Manes

Drizzling Dusters

Rain Rags

Oh, the possibilities are endles!!!! lol

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
