It's rare that I under-estimate the advantages of great defense in games like these, perhaps I've done that here. But I almost never under-estimate the advantages of having a great quarterback and great coaches in games like these. Because of that I still think the Patriots will win it, but it should be a good 2nd half, and if Gronk is out it's going to be even harder for Brady and the Pats.
BTW, both of those penalties at the end were bad calls and classic 21st Century NFL officiating. Bogus.
Also, pretty weak of Jacksonville to take a knee with almost a full minute & two timeouts. Clearly they have no more faith in Bortles than anyone else does.
Brady's the best there's ever been, and Belichick probably is too. Greatness is greatness, hating it is such a waste of time.
On it goes.
If the Vikings win today they'll have a chance in the Big One because they're a well-rounded team, but while their defense is excellent they're not as good as Jacksonville and when it really counted Brady & the Pats handled them today (Amendola was amazing), and because overall the Patriots are just so experienced & poised in these big games it gets harder & harder to beat them... especially when the greatest quarterback of all time is playing for them.
If somehow the Eagles squeak into the Big Game they won't have a chance.
Tom's one of the biggest Niner fans out there and he even recognizes Brady's GOAT status. Now, I root against the Pats as much as anyone but dang it if they don't always win. We may never see a NFL team like this again in our lifetimes. Reminds me so much of Bama/Saban. Even when you think they will lose, they don't. Anyone remember last year's Super Bowl?
In Q4, the CBS cameras panned to the Pats sideline and Brady was walking the sideline, lecturing his offense. He was telling them exactly what was going to happen and he they made it happen (home field helps).
I agree that the Viks have a better shot being it's a home game. Either way, Pats are heavily favored.
If you hate the Patriots you're simply not a fan of football. I'm a Jet's fan but can very easily recognize the Pat's dominance. Once Brady get's that look in his eyes it's all over for the opposing team. You can blame the refs, blame the commish, but it's better off to blame yourself for not loving the game.
If the Eagles play like they did yesterday it'll be a good match up.
Listen man bun -- just to clear your head, cause I know I'm up in yours; I don't own any sports jerseys, I watch a few games of football a year. Yet somehow, I know its a stretch, I understand greatness.
I still have some WWF action figures from the 80's. My kids found them at their grandparents house and they thought that they were goofy.
Big Jags fan here and have stuck with them from their outstanding first years through the 2-14 and 3-13 years. Yesterday was a heartbreaker for sure, especially when it really looked like they were going to pull it off. But in the end, it wasn't surprising to see the Pats do what they do and they did it well, especially with Gronk getting knocked out of the game and working with what they had left.
I don't hate them because they are so good and really hope they pull off another Super Bowl victory, make some more history, and then let Brady sail off to the sunset and let some other team shine for a while.
Just to clarify Ateix -- the WWF shit was at my parents house. The kids were in their attic and found a bunch of mine and my brothers toys.
My kid's bedrooms? Hell no. Those fuckers don't know how to clean. As much as they try, in the event that they're gone their rooms get handled.
The Patriots, and their fans, live is misery; burning heating oil, salting sidewalks, eating grinders and drinking frappes. They deserve some glimmer of "winning". I think it's cute they grasp to Mr. Brady before his ultimate escape to his mansion in SoCal.
