What? Dude, he’s a character and a pretty interesting guy.
Every time I have ever seen him he had come across as duller than dirt. In his pregame puff-piece sit down with Erin Andrews he gave a series of Belichickian answers while giving off a thousand-yard stare.

KC really has had everything line up for them this year. a bit tough to swallow.

my fear is we know TEN's pass defense isn't good and KC just scores too much next Sunday.

So, it has probably happened dozens of times that a team has been down 24-0 in the second quarter, when, a few minutes later, everyone in the country knew who would win. Pretty rare for it to be the losing team.

if Jackson could throw at all yesterday it would have been a close game. and you know Mahomes can throw.

also if KC gets into 4th & short and goes for it, they won't be floundering into the line.

watching these WR consistently burn corners for routine plays makes me hate our WR more and more every play

I dont understand this line of thinking.

The Patriots did not have a good WR corps this year. You hating it cannot change it. Ditto the posts about how if the Patriots had won, they could have beaten X team in the next round. They didn't . Its over and no amount of bitterness will change it.

I am just thankful we got everything they have given us the past two decades.

That should have been a fumble but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth

Stupid rule. That has to be Packers ball.

KC will win next week by double digits. I'd take KC and the over without even knowing the spread.

California. Duh.
I'll never know why punt returners catch the ball at the 5 and try to run it. 95% chance it hits and goes in the end zone, or at least bounces forward. Instead he gains 4 yards and gets hit by 4 people. Bigger risk of a turnover than getting pinned at the 1.

And GB got the challenge correct and still "lost" the challenge. It's nonsensical.
Like when Belichick lost the challenge in the Chiefs game on the challenged spot on a crucial first down. The spot was absurd, but they didn't change it, charged BB the timeout, and he didn't have one when they fucked up the Harry touchdown minutes later. Asinine.

I would love to try a season with no replay. Every play is just immediately as called and you play on. “Get it right” is a nice sentiment. But it’s a joke. Let’s give it a try and see if maybe there are competing interests that we just forgot about. I’d love to go back and have one year and see how it goes.

After Brady retires of course.

Fake Edit: Also, I would abolish the time out.

I dont understand how they lost the TO there. They challenged fumble not possession, right?
Why would they do that? They challenged the ruling on the field that Hollister was down by contact and that GB therefore didn’t recover a fumble.

The whole thing came apart with theapplication of the clear recovery rule. I don’t understand how that wasn’t a clear recovery by GB, who had the hall when the scrum cleared.

Yes. And HOW do the refs not establish who recovered the fumble in a situation like that? All you need to do is note who has the ball? And it seemed pretty clear Green Bay had the call.

The entire thing sucked and, worse, it makes no sense. I'm lost.

I think we’ve tried quite a few that way. They say the league is 100 years old!

I am leaning the other way. Each team gets 1 superTO per game. It stops the clock and continues to stop the clock after every play (complete, incomplete, out of bounds, tackled inbounds) for the next minute off the clock.
