Being friends with a racist fasist doesn't nessecarily make you one, but the alternative is choosing to be friends with a racist fascist, which is somehow worse. They've chosen the side of the oppressor and they're lovely people, hth

iospace posted:See, here's the thing I have to give Bellichek loving credit for. When he gets the lead, he knows how to loving protect it. He knows exactly when to run, when to pass, and when to boot it. Every other coach in the league it seems either goes too conservative (Green Bay) or goes for the ultimate 360 noscope killshot via TD (Atlanta). He's a great coach, but like the Yankees in the 90s, gently caress Off Patriots. yeah i think this is the biggest thing. the last two superbowls the pats won had absolutely insane blunders by the opposing team at the end of games and its infuriating.

Whether or not Brady personally shares Trump's views are irrelevant, he's choosing to support them regardless. He also has tons of children fans who are going to see his MAGA hat and think it's cool to hate brown people like their hero

The second guessing of the play calling on that drive is over the top. The Falcons had just ran the ball and lost a yard. So it's not like they didn't even try to run. How can people seriously complain about putting the ball in the hands of the league MVP and asking him to put the game away?

It's a pitfall every other coach with a top flight qb falls into. Though I think part of it has to do with "if we don't get a td, they win" which leads to the stupid.

If even they had kneeled down 3 times and lost 3 yards, they still would have been at the 26 and while there is no guarantee he makes it, Matt Bryant has been money his entire career. It was the whole thing. Snapping the ball with :20 left on the clock, the incompletions that stop the clock and don't force the Patriots to use their time outs, the sack, the hold. I mean, it's a pretty easy argument to make that they run the ball three times, even if they go nowhere, kill the clock, kick the FG, celebrate your championship. I feel like it's Football/Clock Management 101.

It was very aggressive, but coaches so often get poo poo on for being too conservative and letting the other team back in the game that I feel like sometimes it's a no win situation. You go full on Mike McCarthy and you get called out for surrendering a big lead while trying to bleed the clock. You go for the first down and the TD to really sink the knife in and you get called out for not playing it safe. It's an art more than a science and most coaches seem to get it wrong pretty often. Matt Ryan not taking every second off of the clock in every snap of the second half was weird though.

It's kinda dumb to be up 28-3 and then call 5 runs for the remainder of the entire game. The Falcons needed some points to seal the game and this was their best chance to do so. That's when you play it safe. Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:a drive that resulted in no points Actually it ended in 6 for the Falcons so double lol

I mean, somehow they still blew it but the numbers were as close to 100% win probability as it gets.

In shades of "I hate him so badly that I listen just to see what he'll do next" Howard Stern syndrome, Pittsburgh had the highest market share for last night's game out of the entire country, including Boston and Atlanta. Pittsburgh loves football the most.

That also belongs to the Falcons when Berry took that 2pt back.

The Barstool building caught fire last night, apparently a small unimportant one. But this told me two things. 1) They're based out of New York. 2) Some company bought a majority stake in them for OVER TEN MILLION DOLLARS. What the christ.

I just cannot for the life of me defend the call. And hindsight being 20/20 I get it, but even at the time I was shouting at the TV to run the ball. Freeman getting two touches the entire second half? Another thing I will never understand. Like I said, I get the point. Matt had a perfect passer rating deep into the SB for crying out loud, but I just feel like it's common sense to run the ball, milk the clock, kick the fg and walk away. The Patriots wouldn't come back from 11. I guess I shouldn't say wouldn't given the amount of crap that had to go their way in the first place, but up 11 with next to no time is a lot better than up 8 with next to no time. That 3 point buffer was the game.
