Shady Brady vs. Indianapolis Andrew Lucks

[Deep_South]

I think what happened was our OL all reached their expiration date simultaneously.

Indy falls behind by 14 twice gets aggressive and and makes it a one score game. Then next possession they get conservative twice

He wasn't trying, he did from day one. Drafted Witten, signed Dan Campbell and had Jeff Robinson and James Whalen. Then in 04 he drafted Sean Ryan, in 05 he signed Brett pierce and in 06 we drafted fasano.

It was essential to our offense. Two tight ends and an athletic fullback. We were better at it than New England during that time, they just ended up with two tight ends that were there big play guys and just used them.

I agree, which is why I don't think they are copying another team.

Thats what happens when your safeties miss tackles.

That is a plausible point, too. Didn't think of that.

Landry has been awful in this game.

I was about to say something similar. That and they didn't have a reliable running back or backs. Too many injuries at the RB position forced them to play different guys every week it seemed.

Seeing Brady be the holder....... anyone remember what game it was when Romo was the starter (not the season where he replaced Bledsoe) where he had to be the holder due to injury of (McBriar?)? I am drawing a blank.

Figured the pats would resign blount now he sealed it with this game! That was a great run by him I didnt realize he was so fast. 4tds already. I wanted him in dallas last offseason

Where's Hostile? He loved him some Landry.

Only kidding Hos, if you see this post.

And that's game, darn you luck.

Boy did he float that ball up, seemed like no velocity on it.

Andrew luck now with 6 interceptions in first 2 playoff games ... Ouchy.

I was just curious to see what your theory was. I have no real idea. But I do know you keep your ears pretty low to the ground and always share tidbits that are not always common knowledge. Didn't know if that was the case here as well.

Its a shame, for whatever reason, we got away from it.

I will say this, babe who I love has turned into the 24 hour Garrett apologist recently.

He has been driving home the point that romo has to be on a leash at all times and spent last week playing clips of Garrett telling babe that parcells told him this before he left in 07 about 800 times.

Then babe made the amazingly crazy statement last Sunday night that in his opinion the offense under Orton looked completely different and much better. Said that Orton just ran the play that was called and ran the offense better.

Let me just say that I was really disappointed in babe for saying this and it is ridiculously transparent how he and Garrett clearly when he talks to him are passing all blame to romo.

Babe also keeps saying he doesn't think romo will be the same guy anymore and the team needs to be ready to move on.

It's like babe is serving as Garrett's p.r. Guy getting everyone ready for a possible change at qb next year even possibly to Orton and they seem to be blaming everything on romo.

It's really dissapointing to hear from babe.

Don't the Patriots have a bunch of injuries?

 

[dstovall5]

Now Brady just almost tune around and gives it back up ... lol, be smart Brady you're up by 2 scores with 12 remaining.

He was in the playoffs last season and threw 1 pick. This is his third playoff game.

It was 09 if I remember correctly

Who says the running game is out of style. Jusr look at Seattle and New England

I am trying to figure out how they do all this winning.

They don't have a sky mirror or any art for that matter, they don't have a giant tv or a Victoria's Secret.

These are the strategic advantages out general manager brings us and they don't even have this advantage

 

[BigStar]

Parcells was trying to implement a 12 package during his time in Dallas. No one envisioned using it as extensively as the Pats did with Gronk/Hernandez, but Parcells did want to have to useful tight ends. That has just continued since he has left.

But the philosophy has changed to a conservative based passing offense? It seems the Bennett pick fit that mold (can contribute in the running game) but Escobar is more of the newer fad. Just hope they get him the ball next season if he is ready bc it would be round 3 of this thing...

Love that teams are showing you can still win running the ball.
