I respect the hell out of how they do their business... It just pisses me off because I hate them by nature. That is literally a team full of rejects and a couple super stars. Proof that coaching beats talent.
Anyone see Tomlinson get pissed off after the game, and try and confront Ellis Hobbs? For an average defensive back, in the right system, Hobbs sure seems to talk a lot of shit and start a lot of trouble throughout the whole game. I've never seen LT get worked up like that.
Well mark up another SB for the Pats, no well the colts win this game. And no way in hell an NFC team beats the pats.
The Patriots have had these sorts of players since the "dynasty" began. Now alot of teams have these types...but not many teams get the false label of being such "classy winners" and such like the Pats do.
Now we have to root for another playoff choking coach in Tony Dungy? And Mr. Playoff himself Peyton Manning? Against Tom and Belichick? I hope Peyton and the Colts D play the game of their life...But how much longer can this go on?
This game was not won by the Pats. They and Brady played an absolutely horrible game. This game was lost pure and simple by the Chargers with help from the refs. What did NE do to win this game? Nothing. What did SD do to lose it? Everything including intercepting 4th down passes (why?) and then run with the ball (Why?) and fumble it back to the Pats at the crucial point in the game. Drop about 15 passes. Run out of bounds after catching a pass when there is no defender within 15 yards. Drop easy interceptions. Fumble punts and then try to pick up the ball rather than just falling on it. Take personal foul penalties after sacking the QB and knocking them out of FG range. Take personal foul penalties on extra points. Or how about the refs letting Samual put his hands all over the SD receivers without getting a single penalty? And why wasn't a personal foul penalty called on NE when they knocked down Rivers on a spike play??? It all makes me sick. Coaching my ass. That was nothing more than a gift wrapped game from SD, biased refereeing, and the Pats' best friend - pure unaldultered luck. I have neverin my life seen a team that is so blessed. And to see Testaverde whooping it up with them on the sidelines made me sick also. His Jet card is revoked in my eyes. I just give up. Time to watch 24. Thanks Marty for ruining my week.
Joe Willy About the only thing you bent-up in that was the "call on Rivers on the spike play". He was barely brushed and took a (hopeful) swan dive. That's why it wasn't called. The rest of your analysis is on the mark!
On a Jets related note, this allows the Dolphins to talk to Cam Cameron sooner and may lead to Shotty sticking around another year. And the Patriots did WIN the game. Brady made key throws and their players were clearly more disciplined.
Yeah, it's just a formality now, playing the rest of the games.... they should just give the pats the lombardi trophy now and save us the pain and suffering.
blame it on the idiot DB who picked off the 4th down pass and then fumbled. Anyone with a brain would knock it down.
While we all agree...It was equally stupid for Marty to waste a timeout on that stupid challenge. Total moron.
Had that play never happend, on the ensuing snap Rivers wouldve bobled the ball and it wouldve bounced right into Bruschi's hands.
Good thing that the NFL has a Salary Cap to promote parity! What is that now, FOUR Patriot SB's in SEVEN years? I believe MLB has had 7 Different Champions in the past 7 years.
The Ne "Conspirators", theoretically believe that the NFL WANTS a dynasty to somehow prove that Parity is in fact NOT present in the NFL... Hence why every cal, every bounce, every positive goes the Patriots way..
