Great play, but I wish Hightower would stop trying to strip the ball from Malcolm.

something tells me that Ernie Fucking Adams has diagrammed every single play an opponent ran for the last dozen years.   And 90% of them never get run each game, but the ones that do this team is always ready for.

What a terrific documentary.   These guys just plan, prepare, and execute better than anyone else.  That is all there is to it.

This. This. A Thousand Times. This.
 
Every time I see that play, the same thought goes through my mind

Like the Roberts steal, I keep waiting for it to go horribly wrong no matter how many replays I see.

Patricia's comments about the trophy were great:  "Hold it tight! It's top heavy!"
 
"It's dirty, and there's fingerprints all over it,  But you kiss it anyways because you don't care."

I'm going to be in Denver this weekend, so I decided to buy tickets to the Broncos/Ravens game.
 
I feel like this is an opportunity. Any sign ideas?

Well, the setup is there:

"Why are the Pats always one step ahead?"

Let's see how this goes...

This is a great point about their preparation.  It also is a bit clearer why they be a step or two ahead of everyone else on a consistent basis.  Plays are documented and studied extensively, and there is continuity in this staff with many promotions coming from within.  With the turnover that other teams endure, it is no wonder why it is so difficult for other teams to replicate this type of coaching strategy system effectively.  The amount of time and tacit knowledge required might just be too much for so many other teams to replicate without a combination of both ingenuity and longevity.  Using plays from ten years ago, nothing formations from a Jets/Titans game, etc.  Great show.

Just amazing... Overtime right now is gold also. Tailgating starting early tomorrow might have just found a new backdrop with this video playing. Fu season starts tomorrow night.

Holy shit, really?  They claim they added the Edelman game-winning TD call into the gameplan the night before, having never practiced it.
I think they ran it earlier in the game too, but Brady overthrew it iirc. Makes sense that the timing may have been a bit off.

Not only did Ray Ventrone play for the Patriots, he played for them 67 separate times.

Amused that these guys are acting surprised that Belichick allowed access for this show.  Belichick allowed NFL Films behind the scenes access to the entire 2010 season that was turned into a two hour special.  This special isn't something new.  Belichick is only tight-lipped and no-nonsense when the season is on.  He's not a fucking robot, after all.
