Superbowl… t’s actually been fascinating. Mike Macdonald is doing stuff he hasn’t done all season long to just completely confuse Drake Maye and the Patriots. He rarely blitzes, and he is blitzing the CRAP out of Drake Maye tonight.
Seattle's scoring: All points initially came from kicker Jason Myers, who hit four field goals (tying a Super Bowl record for most in a game, all from shorter distances like 39-41 yards). This gave Seattle a 12-0 lead by the end of the third quarter.
First touchdown: Late in the game (early Q4), Seahawks QB Sam Darnold connected with tight end AJ Barner for a 16-yard TD pass, making it 19-0 (with the extra point). This came right after a key forced fumble by the Seattle defense on Patriots QB Drake Maye.
Patriots' response: New England finally got on the board with a touchdown pass from Drake Maye (to Mack Hollins in some reports), cutting it to 19-7. Their offense has struggled significantly, with very few first downs and low yardage (e.g., around 58 total yards at one point in the third).
Defense dominates: Seattle's defense has overwhelmed the Patriots, holding them scoreless through three quarters—the second Super Bowl ever with no TDs through three quarters. Kenneth Walker III and the Seahawks' run game have been effective, while New England's offense has been stifled.
YOu might miss this: Yardage disparity: Seattle has racked up far more yards (e.g., 252+ at points) compared to New England's anemic output, highlighting how one-sided the trenches and play-calling have been.
Turning point Halftime show… cool, but needed more life on the stage like dancers etc…
But the kid rock / Joe Rogan montage was absolutely fantastic… loved it.
When love becomes selective, it stops looking like God’s Love.
The Pattern**
Every wrong love in Scripture has one thing in common: It centers on self instead of surrender.
Our biggest failure in love is we always first see how it should be applied to us and very rarely to other others.
Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself”.
We apply that is positive situations… but what about negative, problematic, painful situations. Where the other person may not exactly deserve love according to how they are treating us…
AGAIN - love your neighbor as yourself.
When you are like that - and yes you, me all of us are like that - how do you want to be loved?
Remember Every wrong love in Scripture has one thing in common: It centers on self instead of surrender.
Now here is the kicker… every wrong love in our lives has one thing in common - it centers of self instead of surrender.
When I want to be loved the way I want to be loved - when I am at my worst - but I don’t want to love others in the same situation and in the same way - I am the ultimate hypocrite.
**lets practice self love on others… make sense? I hope so. Now go do it!
