My random comments on the second half of the Super Bowl

14-3 down. This, in my view, is the type of situation the Seahawks aren't used to being in. I think I said something about this before. They are largely untested in must-win, come-from-behind situations. I guess we'll see what they're made of.

Wow, this Pittsburgh drive is not restoring my confidence.

When you hear the phrase "from the creator of SNL, Lorne Michaels," run the other way!

Ah, a good ending to the aforementioned Pittsburgh drive.

I wish Stevens would stop dropping passes.

"Holding." It seems like they are calling this game pretty tightly for a Super Bowl.

Oh, good, let's get totally burned on a trick play. Great. That's what Hasselbeck gets for saying stuff like "Everyone knows what we do . . . it's up to them to stop us." Because no one knew that Pittsburgh ran trick plays with Randle El passing the ball.

When did the term "gadget play" come into use? Before this year? I hate it. What was wrong with "trick play"?

O.K., guys--what are you made of?

Nice of us to "pin" Pittsburgh at their own 20 every time by kicking everything into the end zone. Is that our plan?

Well, so much for that.
