Scoreboard
forgot about Tony Eason; the only QB in NFL history to not complete at least 1 pass in a Superbowl game>>>>.
Had to put mr fumbleitis Morton in at number one. Craig was practically worthless for the Broncos in that game, against his former team, the Cowboys.
Of course, losing two super bowls for two different teams doesn't help, but considering he had no TDs and 4 picks in the second Super Bowl.
I know there were questionable calls on both sides of the ball, the problem is people fail to realize 2 things when it came to the Seahawks scoring.
1. Josh Brown missed 2 field goals in a dome, and distance wasn't his problem.
2. Hasselbeck called audibles to Holmgren at the end of both halves.
The Seahawks were marching right down the field at the end of the first half, and I believe they could've scored a TD pretty easily if they wouldn't have wasted time with the audibles. That would be 17 points, add up the 6 points for the 2 FGs Josh Brown kicks through the uprights if he had any sense of accuracy, and that's 23 for the Seahawks. The officiating wasn't the greatest, but the Seahawks couldn't cap off a drive because of their own mistakes which weren't called as penalties, although Holmgren & Hasselbeck should've been penalized for stupidity with those audibles. I believe that cost Seattle 7 points at the end of the first half.
How 'bout these doozies:
- Earl Morrall, SB 3. 6 outta 17 for 71 yards, 0 TD, 3 int, passer rating of 9.3
- Kerry Collins, SB 35. 15 outta 39 for 112, 0 TD, 4 int, passer rating of 7.1
- Fran Tarkenton, SB 9. 11 outta 26 for 102, 0 TD, 3 int, passer rating of 14.1
- John Elway, SB 24. 10 outta 26 for 108, 0 TD, 2 int, passer rating of 19.4
(and the worst for last, in terms of lowest QB rating ever in a SB)
- Craig Morton, SB 12. 4 outta 15 for 39, 0 TD, 4 int, passer rating of 0. Yup....zero !
For the record, Grossman was 19 outta 28 for 165, 1 TD, 2 ints, rating of 68.3. Could've been better, but certainly not the worst.
Woodley SB 17, 4 outta 14 for 97, 1 TD, 1 int, rating of 50
Roethlesberger (spell check...) SB 40, was 9 outta 21 for 123, 0 TD, 2 int, rating of 22.6.
Dilfer SB 35, 12 outta 25 for 153, 0 TD, 1 int, rating of 50.9
Kilmer SB 7, was 14 outta 28 for 104, 0 TD, 3 int, rating 19.6
Elway (again) SB 22, 14 outta 38 for 257, 1 TD, 3 int, rating 36.8
Eason SB20, was 0 outta 6, obviously 0 yards, rating 39.6 (0 ints saved his @ss). (In fact, Eason holds the record for most passes in a SB without a completion)
The defense rests..............
OK, good point - then I really like my Woodley pick....let's analyze (leading into their SB):
- Grossman: 54.3% completions, 27 TD/26 int, rating 71.7
- Woodley: 53.6% completions, 31 TD/38 int, rating 65.4
- Ferragamo: 47.6% completions, 7 TD/12 int, rating 53.8
- Eason: 57.1% completions, 35 TD/30 int, rating 79.4
- Dilfer: 56.9% completions, 82 TD/91 int, rating 72.0
- Collins: 53.7% completions, 81 TD/88
