Patrick O’Connell in the Super Bowl

[5280Griz]

He just got a tackle. Go Griz!

 

[Wolf777]

Gotta be quicker than that. Love to see it.

 

[LivingstonNative]

Yeah, Patrick got the first tackle for the Seahawks.

Brock Coyle was the last Griz to play in the Super Bowl but he lost to the Patriots. Does anyone know who the last Griz to win a Super Bowl is?

Player is probably Ferris. Coaching is Tim Hauck with Eagles. Did Allegre win with giants?

 

[Wolf777]

Got to see a lot of Pat tonight including the final Gatorade bath for Macdonald. Congrats!

^^^that was awesome
SEA had a very impressive defense

 

[mtgriz]

He got away with an offside that would have been a first down for the Patriots. Good aggressive play!

The refs were just letting them play tonight. Seemed fairly even though.

He was credited with one assisted tackle.

He was credited with one assisted tackle.

It was the first tackle of the game for Seattle and it was on special teams. Fitting for special teams U.

" The Dark Side " was suffocating. !!! By the time NE put any points on the board in the 4th Qtr , it was too late--while NE avoided the shutout, the game was already over. !!!

Happy for Patrick, but it would've been nice if Seattle could've picked an original nickname for their impressive defense, and not hi-jack it from a college team.

 

[Wolf777]

Yep. First one of the game for Seattle. And saw him around the ball about 6 times on coverages as well as on the return teams. Didn’t say he had a career day just the he was very VISIBLE in the game.

I believe they stole it from George Lucas so theres that.

He was robbed, shoulda been a solo.

 

[AZGrizFan]

NE going for two on that 2nd TD fucked me out of $2500 on our squares board. Bastards.

True true!! But the Dark Side moniker was already stolen from him previously describing a college football team's defense. Maybe next year some NFL team can start calling their D the "Black Shirts", "Wrecking Crew", or maybe "Desert Swarm". Or better yet, a college team should adopt "Legion of Boom", "Steel Curtain", "Purple People Eaters" or some other already used title.
