Playoff Game Thread

[Miller]

F Shady Brady, Bellicheat, and the Pats organization.

Sorry I love them. If you've been to this many Championship games and 7 SBs in this era you are great and doing something that isn't cheating. I like watching greatness thus hating watching Garrett. Teams like this are a level above us

NE reminds me of a local team that for years dominated HS football in Texas, Southlake Carroll. A bunch of white dudes thay knew how to play football. Not overly athletic, but fundamentally sound on offense. Pretty amazing in this jump, run, athlete, athlete, athlete world!

 

[Alweezy]

It just seems unreasonable that NE gets the AFC East.. a playoff BYE. The winner of the Backup QB Bowl, and get a win and you're going to the SB game. Whereas we had such a ridiculously rough road just to get to the NFCG. NFC East (Where 3 teams could have made playoffs). Had to win 13 games just to not become a wild card. Get the "luck" of drawing either Playoff Eli or Playoff Rodgers.

Just would like to have that 1 year where everything shakes out right. NE puts themselves in this game year in and year out seems like, but this year was almost like cheating it was such an easy path.

Talk about "luck of the draw."

Patriots played 32nd-most difficult schedule of offenses in regular season. Then faced Texans, then Steelers w/o Bell in playoffs.

They may have the best defense in the NFL, but how would you know?

And we ran into a QB throwing passes no one has seen before.

I can't stand your mindset. They operate in the grey and I can't believe you like them.

AFC is an embarrassment . NFL should scrap the to conferences as they are now and come up with something that aligns elite teams in a fair way .. NE for most of the last 15 years been having it so easy due to inept AFC .. while NFC is much more competitive ... not fair

did Dallas have it easy in the '70s?

 

[tyke1doe]

Why is Brady still in there

Because the Patriots don't play scared.

martellus gona get a ring? wth.poor witt

Pats not beating Falcons.

You're talking about the regular season. Whole new ball game.

Pretty sure I mentioned the playoffs.

"Atlanta lost to the Chargers, Bucs, and Eagles. Dallas defeated Pittsburgh and Green Bay.

We're closer than you think, but you have to play 4 quarters in the playoffs. Dallas played about 2 and a half."

 

[camelboy]

It probably wouldn't have mattered. We would have lost in the AFC too.

We are not the finished product yet .. I think the last piece of the puzzle is the defense which I think will be sorted out this off season .. the Cowboys domination era is about to come back

You weren't talking about the playoffs. You said Dallas defeated Green Bay, but I didn't see them playing Atlanta today.

The OVER hit for this game. 2-0 for the day.

Ha! I agree. I said the same thing.

I hope so. Not too confident about the coaching.

Patriots might not beat the Falcons..l don't know...but they are the class organisation of this era!!

How important is it to have a good defense in the playoffs?

I don't think anyone had it easy those days ... older folks know better though

 

[Aikmaniac]

I'm just amazed that the Patriots can be this competitive every year in this salary cap era. I guess Brady and Bill are that good. And please don't say they cheat.

 

[camelboy]

Coaching is fine ..players are fine .. just get rid of the black cat
