My last NFL game
that's probably a very wise decision

Thanks

Good picks.

The league, for many reasons, is a joke

Nothing to do with New England
The joke, if there is one, is you.

heh

Brady is a fucking machine.

he's the GOAT

he's amazing

He is amazing.

Can't call him the greatest of all time. New rules no touch QB.

Would he have been as good back in our day. Maybe, probably. Game was a lot tougher on QBs back then. I remember Montana getting wiped out by the Giants.

GOAT-I've never seen a better QB/field general than Brady. I seen better passers but never a better QB.

You've missed a lot of football, then.

No, I've seen a lot of football and a lot of QBs, from Starr and Unitas to Staubach Elway Marino, Montana Favre Rodgers, etal and in my 60 years of watching and handicapping the game, if the goal is to win, then Brady is the guy I want under center. He is demonstrably the best ever.

YMMV

But in the years you've been whining and pissing your pants with your silly obssessions you've yet to put an articulate persusaive argument to the contray.

I would suggest as your head is so far up your ass, your vision is clouded.

America knows. Pat's cheat. Fix in. No one is that lucky and gets all those noncalls and calls on the road, in the playoffs.

Edelman touched the kick. That "offsides" never gets called in a game of this magnitude, pass interference on Gronk pushing off, not called, and countless more .

If Starr, Unitas, Namath, Montana got as many calls in their careers, and got to play in an era where you get a penalty for grazing the QBs chest with your hand, they'd have never list a game.

Fake championship.

NFL has become WWF.

SAD.

yup BB, Brady and Pats have been lucky for almost 20 years.

And when luck wasn't enough they've cheated.

That certainly explains a level of sustained excellence that has never been achieved in the NFL.

As you've proven you can't articulate anything more than sour grapes, incessant whining, and idiotic rationales, perhaps you should just put your head back up your ass.

And when it securely wedged in there, eat shit loser.

bon appetite.

Interception called back, Edelman touched the kick, fix in.
Sad.

Pitchers and catchers report in just a few weeks.

Notoriously Fixed League.

I don't think he touched it but I can't be sure.

Seems like it would have been one of those 'the play stands' type of ruling because one couldn't be absolutely sure. But that's the way the ball bounces sometimes.

Never saw Slingin' Sammy Baugh or Sid Luckman either. I just mentioned the guys I've seen play who I consider top echelon/ guys in the discussion.

From what I've read/seen/heard Graham's in the GOAT discussion.

But I don't think he's the GOAT.

It seems he usually ranked around top 5-10.

No way he's GOAT.

They had one angle which clearly showed the left hand did not touch it.

They had another angle which clearly showed the right hand did not touch it.

They have the ability to run those side by side in time step.

I don't understand why there is any doubt.

I've been reflecting on my reaction to the "touchdown wins" rule.

It is very true that the Patriots have now twice used that rule to their advantage in the playoffs (plus once when it was just a field goal needed).

But in the game right before the team that had the ball first in the overtime lost, rather than winning.

It's not the coin flip that determined the winner, but the play of the teams after the coin flip, for all the the coin flip provides an advantage.

It's not a huge advantage. Contrary to the 55% figure usually cited, it's actually a hair below 52% --> 45/87. 42.5% of the time they lose.

But giving both sides a chance at the ball doesn't actually seem to make things even, again! It merely changes the result to be tilted toward the second team to get the ball, based on college stats.

I kind of like one of the proposals from the Quanbeck brothers, roughly equivalent to "I get to cut the cake, but you get first choice of which piece to take." One team would choose the field position to open overtime, while the other team chooses whether to play offense or defense from that spot.

So... of those 87 overtime games, how many were determined on a touchdown on the first sequence, anyway?

or the team that does not possess the ball initially in OT could play sufficient defense to win the game, if they force a stop/ yield only a FG.

I once watched the Lions lose on the OT kick off. Tackle the guy with the ball.
