I don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, but that Philly QB sneak was impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an offensive line get so low and it helps to have a QB that can squat a dump truck.

If they used guard sized players for receivers and running backs & perfect that to 3.3 yards per scrum . . .I don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, but that Philly QB sneak was impressive.

Did anyone ever stop one?They need to bring back the "no pushing ball carrier from behind rule" - it has gotten ridiculous this season.
He was warned about his holding earlier but kept doing it. Apparently.Timing of the call is the point here. I can find probably 15 plays where Sneed held a WR and no flag. Probably find 10 plays where bradberry held a WR and no flag. It was ticky tack bullshit of a call. That could of been called 30 times over throughout the game.
And yea up 3 with over 2 minutes to go. Not up 3 with 11 seconds to go. No difference at all.
Legit best part of this Superbowl.Stapleton played a Tele to keep from getting caught up in the crotch palming . . . watch on youtube
Gotta admit, Coach Sirianni & those guys tearing up was a punch...Legit best part of this Superbowl.
I agree, when I am President I will make it so the anthem has to be played with minimal background music or theatrics.Legit best part of this Superbowl.
It is like a rugby scrum. I think the NFL will deal with it this offseason.They need to bring back the "no pushing ball carrier from behind rule" - it has gotten ridiculous this season.

Used to coach high school soccer. HATED playoffs, when all of a sudden they were "letting them play." What was a foul all season suddenly was ignored.Hilljack,
That is a split second call by the stripes. The ref in the backfield saw the noted "admitted" holding. To flame a ref call that was in fact a legit call, then blame the refs for not calling others, is, IMO, horsecrap. as Bradberry stated himself, "I pulled on his jersey. They called it, I was hoping they would let it ride."
He got caught. Nature of the game, some you get away with, others you get caught.
Unless you're claiming malicious intent by a ref to skew a superbowl game and an operative of the Chiefs, it was a legit ref call.
This was a good write up - and I agree:
"It is notable Bradberry admitted to the flag, which figures to take some of the wind out of the storyline.
Still, it overshadowed one of the more memorable Super Bowls in recent history with two excellent performances from the two quarterbacks. Hurts was incredible in his first ever Super Bowl and Mahomes added to a legacy that is already Hall of Fame worthy at just 27 years old.
He now has two Lombardi Trophies in three Super Bowl appearances to go with two league MVPs and is nowhere near slowing down.
This latest championship came with a little help from the officials, but even the defender who committed the penalty admitted to the infraction."
Or take the Bill B approach - have your db's hold on every play and dare the officials to throw 500 flags in a game. It got him 6 Super Bowl rings, so there is that.It seems to me that if it's a super critical, game-changing, 3rd and long, as a defender, I would be damn sure not to foul and gift the other side a first down. Pretty simple really.
That foul may not have been egregious, but it cost the receiver at least a half a step accelerating and the chance to get free of the corner.
I thought that was the Pete Carroll?Or take the Bill B approach - have your db's hold on every play and dare the officials to throw 500 flags in a game. It got him 6 Super Bowl rings, so there is that.
Both legitimate infractions...bad ball from Stafford tho. Kupp catches a good ball.Real question.
Was this a worse call than the one that decided the Superbowl last year?
Sirianni rubs me wrong. To many childish things on cameraGotta admit, Coach Sirianni & those guys tearing up was a punch...
