The Twitter world was at full tilt for the Super Bowl. Here are some of the best tweets from what was otherwise a lackluster first half.
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks finally took the field for Super Bowl 49. While much of the first half proved to be less than entertaining, the Twitter world kept it going on one of the biggest days of the year in social media.

Right before the game, fans got a double dose of horror…..
My children were equally scared of the #JurassicWorld trailer and the Lindsay Lohan esurance ad. Great start to #SuperBowlXLIX for me.

The latest Kate Upton/Game of War ads didn’t appeal to some….
Game of war commercials is killing Kate upton's popularity. She looks terrible in those joints. She dropped from top 3 to mid 50's

(Seriously, we’d love to have some good in-game tweets, but thus far, it is what it is)
This tweet best describes the first quarter…….
Anyone else agree that this game is, you know, terrible so far? #Seahawks #Patriots

Yeah….I’ll pass on that assignment…..
I saw #TomBrady touching his crotch hankie a lot during that drive. Who wants to sniff it for clues? #SuperBowl49

At least there’s one person admitting why she’s watching the game….
They’re talking about you, Russell Wilson…
Completed passes are so 2014.

Here’s a Chris Matthews Fun Fact….

Marshawn Lynch ties the game at 7-7, yet there’s a Seahawks fan still disappointed.
That gave Tom Brady way too much time to carve up the Seahawks secondary to give the Pats a 14-7 lead on a touchdown strike to Rob Gronkowski….
Seattle followed up and tied the score at the end of the half on a beautiful strike to unknown wide receiver Chris Matthews on a bold call from coach Pete Carroll.
Thus far, the game hasn’t lived up to the hype leading up to it. We suppose Deflategate might have actually deflated the enthusiasm of the contest, yet Twitter more than made up for that.
