I don't hate Coldplay, but I'm trying to think of a blander, less offensive band they could've chosen and I'm coming up empty.

 

One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, 5th Harmony, Maroon 5, Train.

 

I love the colors on the stage, but I don't ever want to see Coldplay playing live on TV ever again. Its also somewhat of a miracle that Beyonce didn't suck for a change, though I'm not interested in her upcoming tour. Bruno Mars was amazing as usual. He will never be as epic like Michael Jackson, but he is always fun to watch.

 

Now, we need Cam Newton & the Panthers to get themselves together.

Did I miss something, or did CBS halftime totally ignore the game changing moment of the blown replay call?

Maroon 5? I'm pretty sure they'll be asked if The Voice is still a thing by the time it's NBC's turn to show the Super Bowl again.

[FuriousStyles]

Cotchery has dropped a couple of balls today. He needs to help his qb.

So the stars are aligning for Peyton...is this what this is? Turnovers, dropped balls, bad calls by the refs, and now missed field goal, which yeah still only the 3rd quarter has got to be heartbreaking nevertheless. Points are not coming easy, gotta grab them when you can.

Ouch.

[stealinghome]

That drive might end up being the killer one for Carolina. Ginn ran out of bounds instead of cutting it back, Cotchery with the drop, and then the missed FG? Could be pivotal.

One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, 5th Harmony, Maroon 5, Train.

If any of this comes to pass (deity-of-your-choice forfend), I am holding you responsible. Especially if it is Maroon 5.

[dbell1]

Is the target audience for the Super Bowl a bunch of people who can't shit properly? This has been the year of IBS.

Bring back the Clydesdales!

[ganesh]

Talib needs to exit from this game. He is a clear liability.

 

Apparently, James Brown performed in 1997, Packers/Pats. No memory of that at all.

[stealinghome]

Literally every single bounce is going Denver's way.

[xaxat]

OK, this game is going to go down as the ugliest Super Bowl in history. Supplanting the Steelers Seahawks game.

[ebk57]

Okay, the dogs in blankets is my favorite ad so far.  

 

Hopefully it will distract me from how bad the actual game is.

[MargeGunderson]

Mercifully I have forgotten every aspect of the Patriots/Packers game. And seriously Talib, get it together,

Even in their loss, Carolina didn't look this bad.

Another turnover.

Hubby & I can't decide on MVP. Broncos field goal kicker?

Apparently that was Liam Neeson's kid in that TV commercial. The commercials as a whole have sucked so hard this year. Nothing is funny and the tech ads are trying to be 1984 Apple.

[stealinghome]

Sheep are the best commercial so far!

If the Broncos win maybe it will go to Von Miller. He's done a nice job tonight along with the rest of the Broncos defense.

Not imported? Budweiser is working so hard to hide the fact that they are now a Belgian based company owned by a Brazilian group.

[ganesh]

After the first quarter, this just isn't a good football game. And you can't say, well it's really good defense. There have been some good open field tackles. There a lot of just not good offense execution.

Anyone who uses Queen as a commercial should be shot on sight.

Budweiser - we've been making shitty beer since 1876.  Why stop now...

[shoregirl]

Maybe it was the David Bowie song but I really liked the Audience commercial with (I think) Buzz Aldrin.

[JAYJAY1979]

Lady gaga, the game, commercials, halftime show, and food. There's something for everyone at the Super Bowl :)

Well at least the game is still close. Sure its a sloppy mess, but I'd rather this than a blowout.

[ganesh]

I'd say the Denver DL is the MVP right now. Newton has been largely contained.

[FuriousStyles]

The Superbowl babies commercial is kinda funny. I wonder how true it is.

[Jx223]

Carolina's best shot at getting a TD right now may be defensively. Maybe someone will intercept Peyton and get one that way. They just aren't able to really get anything offensively. Maybe their defense will help save them.

[stealinghome]

Yeah I'd say Miller or Ware. They are dominating right now.

[ganesh]

I don't mean to be a bag, but I'm watching the game on my own. What's everyone's first Superbowl? Mine was the Raiders over the Redskins, when Marcus Allen ran all over the place. 

I don't think one has to award MVP it to one player. In the Pats undefeated season, the Giants DL was clearly the MVP. Eli got lucky.

Panthers D not giving up. Cam and co. HAVE to score here.

Im here on my couch watching the game alone too. Didnt even want my dad coming over (he doesnt even like/follow football).

Hey Peyton! It's your last game ever! Stop turning it over!

[Kromm]

Okay, but the commercial with Seal (born 1963, and in a part of the world that only recently even started to care about American football) as a "Superbowl baby" had to be the worst (Superbowl I = 1967, by the way).

[AimingforYoko]

What did I say, Peyton? You don't have to do anything. Except not turn the ball over.

[ebk57]

The first one I remember was the BALTIMORE Colts losing to the Jets.  It was awful.  And yet, I kept coming back.

 

We won't mention that it was the same season the O's lost to the Mets.  Oops, I just mentioned that.  Sigh.......

[Browncoat]

It seems like there have been more penalties than first downs.

[ganesh]

I know, seriously. Just hand it off and do some play action. You don't need big chunks of field position.

I'm not a prude by a long shot, but stfu Seal.

[stealinghome]

Hey Peyton! It's your last game ever! Stop turning it over!

But that's so emblematic of his career. ;)

[CandyKat]

Good lord this is an ugly game. I'm praying Denver goes down but it doesn't look good.

No Clydesdales? Fuck you Budweiser. Even the commercials suck this year! Although the hotdog dogs were adorable and the Snickers Willem Dafoe commercials standout among the suckage as not sucking.

[mojoween]

Christopher Walken. Sock puppet. Yes.

[FuriousStyles]

At this point doesnt Peyton HAVE to win the game now. I mean, his defense has done everything you could ask them to do, and even special teams has chipped in. This would be the big letdown if they dont hold on.

[Kromm]

Wow, when even the Christopher Walken commercial sucks, you know it's epically bad batch.

[MargeGunderson]

1985 Bears. I just realized that the Super Bowl has meant a break from all of the political ads (New Hampshire TV market). Thanks, Super Bowl! And, this game is a little boring.

[xaxat]

Cam? You want to wear that Super Man sign on you chest? Now is the time.

[ganesh]

You can only rely on your defense for so much though. Manning needs to put together a sustained drive and take time off the clock and give those guys a rest!

Even if you only drive down for 5 minutes and get an FG.

[AimingforYoko]

After Von Miller (How much money has he made himself the last two games?), I'd say the Broncos MVP has been Britton Colquitt. His punts have changed the field a bunch of times.

[merylinkid]

I really want the Broncos to win.   But I really don't want anyone believing Kubiak actually is a good HC.  Remember, Caldwell got to the SB with Manning.

[xaxat]

I have such a crush on Helen Mirren.

[Chrissytd]

Oh Helen Mirren.

[merylinkid]

I really hope that stops drunk driving.   No one wants Helen Mirren disappointed in them.

[CandyKat]

I love me some Helen Mirren, but Jesus.

[FuriousStyles]

Seems like denver is playing conservative with all the running plays they're calling.
