How good was the defense tonight? Obviously the offense will get much deserved praise for the 40 burger, but the defense was rock solid.
The Colts made it into NE territory just 3 times. Once was when the score was 45-7. Pats had 0 sacks but it felt like they moved Luck around quite a bit forcing over throws, under throws or short scrambles. Revis was back to Revis -- not sure he gave up a catch but it didn't feel like it but my star of the defense has to be Kyle Arrington. 1 miraculous catch from completely erasing TY Hilton. Amazing job.

Yea, I thought this was one of the more epic troll jobs - to use both the tackle eligible and receiver ineligible plays in this game, on this stage, just awesome. Proves a big point about the non-illegality of all this. (Intentional double negative)Ralphwiggum said:
It's not just trolling. The Solder TD was set up in part because the Colts were hearing an OL (Fleming) consistently being declared eligible but simply being used as a 6th OL for run blocking. Looks like they stopped accounting for the eligible OL as a receiver, which was why Solder was uncovered.
The entire team played a great game, with the offensive line standing out the most, especially considering that they had to shift people around after Stork's injury.
I would like to point out that Edelman moved the ball 181 yards in the positive direction with a combination of runs, receptions, and punt returns.

My brother-in-law is a huge Jet fan. Revis is (or rather was) his all-time favorite Jets player. This season has been kind of a like a long, methodical enhanced interrogation session for him at some CIA black site somewhere. The progression has been like this:
Revis signed with Pats: brother-in-law mad
Revis has success with Pats: brother-in-law very angry
Revis has success with Pats, Pats once again win division and look like the team to beat in the AFC: brother-in-law intense, seething anger
Pats win AFC championship with Revis dagger pick in the 3rd quarter pretty much ending the game: brother-in-law looses his shit over text, vows to not watch Super Bowl, will never watch football again, etc. etc.
Overall he's a good guy and I try not to rub it in but this has been just too much fun.
Edit: I should add that the performance of the Jets this year as well as the two close losses to the Pats have contributed to this.
Ahh, the old "All-Purpose Yards" stat that was all the rage about 20 years ago.StupendousMan said:
You MUST send him a GIF of Revis dancing in his AFC CHampions Shirt and Hat from last night's post-game.Ralphwiggum said:
Can anyone find a link to the trophy ceremony NFL does a horrendous job with its website. How hard is it to find this video.
