Morning after: Seahawks 24, Patriots 23 – Extra Points – Boston.com

Here’s a Wet Blanket of Reason towel snap for this Monday morning…

Patriots lead Giants 17-9 with 11:20 left in third quarter of the Super Bowl and don’t score again and lose. Patriots lead Cardinals 9-6 early in third quarter and are outscored 14-0 before losing. Patriots lead Ravens 30-21 with 14:10 left in fourth quarter and go scoreless before losing. Patriots lead Seahawks 23-10 with 9:21 left in the fourth quarter and go scoreless before losing. Not acceptable. Have to find a way to execute better and get the final score to win the game. I mean, one touchdown on six trips in the red zone? And twice the Patriots were inside the 10-yard line and got zero points. Unreal. One thing that crossed my mind as I watched Tom Brady get up very slowly after the roughing penalty he took to the head, was that he might have been a little woozy. After the hit, Brady was 5-12 for 81 yards, one interception, one sack and one grounding penalty.
