I don't think Any team can beat the Patriots

Me either. The Vikings are the closest, but give BB 2wks to prepare for Keenum and I don't see good outcome for Minney.

Drew Brees and the Saints secondary were probably the best chance.
But... the Jaguars are pretty young,...and they will be playing for a berth in the Super Bowl.... there is a fair chance those guys are insanely pumped and just destroy NE oline. Of course that dont mean Brady wont in turn destroy them with screens... but if they manage to get TB really dirty they have a good chance of pulling out a win.

Drew Brees cannot throw the long ball anymore. Good luck to any team paying him more than $20 million next year/

It should be considered the greatest choke job of Brady-Bellichick era if they cannot beat Bortles/Keenum/Foles to a super bowl.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Man, Keenum sure threw up some quackers today... Ugly ducks. Lucky that it didn't cost them the game.

 

[gimpy]

Considering the outcome, its up there.
Also one of the worst tackles I’ve ever seen by safety.

Did I miss something? I didn't see a tackle.

72% 8.1 YPA

72% 8.1 YPA

That is good YPA. Better YPA than his previous 2 years. Entire game against Vikings it looked like the arm wasn't there. Please File it under "Worst Takes" ever.

 

[Buckybird]

No idea what that DB was doing. All he had to do is wait for him to catch it, come down and tackle him. Not sure what he was thinking.

Situational football just like the Bulldogs against Bama.

How in the hell do either of those plays happen given the time left, yardage & situation? Dumb on both accounts.

Can you imagine if Pat P or Badger had done that & we lost that game? Ugh this board would’ve exploded.

I hope no looney bird has threatened that kids life or harassmed him on social media. But in today’s world I’m sure some idiot has & hope the are punishmed for it!

The media hype is stronger with Foles I think. Since he was considering retiring when the iggles went after Wentz...quite the story if he leads the team to a Lombardi while Wentz watches from the bench.

Foles was already gone when the Eagles got Wentz. Kelly traded Foles to the Rams for Bradford in 2015.

 

[NJCardFan]

It should be considered the greatest choke job of Brady-Bellichick era if they cannot beat Bortles/Keenum/Foles to a super bowl.

2 things: #1, the greatest choke job the Pats have ever had was in 2007 when they failed to win the SB after 18 straight wins and #2, no matter the outcomes of the next 2 games, there is no such thing as a choke job for a team with a 40 year old QB who has 5 Super Bowl rings and 7 Super Bowl appearances. The level of Patriots play since 2001 in today's sports atmosphere makes them a dynasty on par with the Lakers, Celtics, Canadiens, and Yankees.

 

[NJCardFan]

Wow. Just found out that Diggs' college receivers coach is a friend of mine. He's as proud as any coach can be today.

Watching the play, the only beef I have now was that the defender shouldn't have gone low as the ball got there when he got there. He could have just let him catch it then wrap him up.

 

[WisconsinCard]

All you guys who say tackling doesn’t matter now have a reason to think otherwise!

Ow leave Mitch alone about it please

No one has ever said tackling doesn't matter, but you're comparing a safety to a corner. So apples and oranges, if a corner never lets him catch it he doesn't have to tackle him.

 

[WisconsinCard]

I feel bad for the DB...he saw Diggs elevate and you know he was thinking "defenseless player" and "dont get a penalty"...so rather than undercut him, he avoided contact,,,poor bastard...
but either way that right there... that was a playoff finish... fantastic game.

If he undercuts him though that is not a penalty for hitting a defenseless receiver. It is only if you hit them in the head and neck area. I think he just whiffed, what he should have done (which is such a lost technique) was to just wrap him up instead of going for the big hit. If he just puts his arms out he probably trips him up.

What is lost this weekend is that Big Ben had the game of his life and lost. How many QB's not playing Arena Football can say they passed for over 400 yards and 5 TD's and still lost the game.

The irony is over 400 yards and 5 TDs but the game hinged on two inexplicable 4th and inches calls, neither of which was a QB sneak or a dive play. Bizarre.

You could say the same thing for Brees in the 2nd half. The Vikes allowed 12 ppg at home this year and he brought them back down 17.

Sort of like Rogers in that crazy wild card game with us. He threw for 423 yards and 4 TD's while Warner threw for 379 yards and 4 scores and could have conceivably lost that game.

That was the game Aaron Rodgers became Aaron Rodgers. I remember that ball he missed to Jennings in OT that had insane velocity on it.

Also thought JerMichael Finley was going to be a superstar after that game.
