Remember that wonderful piece Aros penned about the "5 Stages of Grief?"
Wish I could find that, it definitely helped.

Oh wow I'm shocked you of all people would say that.Tical21":opgo1d5y said:.......I have watched the offensive plays on wide tape of 49 again to diagnose our problems in the passing game. Unfortunately, I found that our bad plays usually were not the fault of the WR's, Line, or OC.
I went into the exercise trying to prove how inept our receivers were at getting open against man coverage. Unfortunately, I couldn't make that conclusion. We saw man, cover 1 a huge percentage of the time. Bevell called routes that consistently work against cover 1. There were windows to complete passes, sometimes guys were even wide open. Russell calmed down a bit, worked some comeback routes, and hit a couple fades, but that whole first quarter plus, where we didn't have any first downs, was almost exclusively on Russell not pulling the trigger or finding open guys. For example, 3rd and seven, we call slants. His primary target was the X and the X won his route, and was there for a routine, easy completion and first down. Russell chose to eat it. There was one example where ALL FOUR receivers in the route won their routes, two of them becoming WIDE open, and Russell chose to stand there and pat the ball.hawksfansinceday1":3moart2z said:Oh wow I'm shocked you of all people would say that.Tical21":3moart2z said:.......I have watched the offensive plays on wide tape of 49 again to diagnose our problems in the passing game.

I wish people would quit making threads about the final play. It isn't therapeutic in any way for me to talk, listen or watch any of it.

Like I said, I was intending to make an argument that Russell didn't have anybody open, to try to justify the need for possibly overpaying for a WR, but for the most part, the WR's weren't the problem. Watch the all-22 for yourself if you don't believe me.

I'd watch it at some point. Really not comparable. Heartbreaking, but in a different and more legitimate way. Hard to explain, really.

Whenever I read about Chris Matthew's incredible game, or the 2 minute drive prior to both halves, I get myself psyched up to sit and watch it... but then I don't.
This isn't the first time. After sitting beside Aros and watching SBXL in Detroit, I've still never watched any part of that fiasco on film.
So what is it with my otherwise stable psyche that makes me unable to put aside the final outcome (especially the final play) and sit to enjoy the game for the excellent showing that it was? Is it just a small number of folks like me, or a larger section?
MontanaHawk05":1engpcl0 said:What are these "Seahawks" everyone keeps talking about
I am with you. I still have not watched it nor have I watched any NFL network or ESPN because I do not want to see any replays. I still cant get over this one. Hopefully SB 50 will erase all my pain.RockHawk":2o7xjqap said:So I consider myself a very reasonable and logical person in everything I do, so it seems extremely ridiculous that I still haven't watched a single minute of my team in SuperBowl 49 after witnessing the game in person.

Google Super Bowl XLIX All-22 and you'll be able to find a free stream out there.drdiags":3idijz73 said:olyfan63":3idijz73 said:... I will watch the all-22 when I can arrange that. Is there a thread that mentions sign-up information and costs for this?
NFL Rewind is how you get access to the All-22. Renewals are coming up in June/July. You probably can sign up for the remainder of this season at a greatly reduced price (I figure around $10 bucks but just guessing). The package at the beginning of the season runs ~$69 or so.
UPDATE: Looks like there is a 7-Day free trial until March 22nd, if you don't cancel after that the cost is $24 bucks.
