Reminder that Donald Trump is sitting in a recliner in the white house wearing a wife beater and American flag boxers nodding to himself because of course he predicted this, he's batting at a thousand in life, tomorrow when he institutes the American safety act advocating for the government registration of the gays it will go over with flying colors

A Patriots win reinforces Donald's thinking

Once again, I'm sitting at work the Monday after the Super Bowl, pondering...why the hell do teams always go Full Retard against the Patriots?

They were averaging almost 7 yards per carry, yet they called 10 runs and 15 passes while up by 25 points.

I think the average was heavily skewed towards the first quarter and the Patriots had made adjustments to stop the run by then. Still a dumb call (and they got another monster run later on) but the average is a little misleading there.

- If the subsequent plays aren't all IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD...

oh yeah that final drive was Andy Reid-esque. so many checkdown throws that were far worse than just throwing the ball away to stop the clock. like, great, you got five yards and used a third of your remaining time with no timeouts, good work with that completion to your own thirty.

James White should have been MVP, no doubt in my mind.

Given the final stats Brady put up he made a respectable case for it but I kinda agree with you (and he shouldn't have won it against the Seahawks). I think its dumb they always default to the QB as long as the QB is at least moderately good.

like kraft has been well-known for a while as one of the most democratic-leaning of the nfl owners and one of the handful that donates to the democrats instead of the republicans

Top Democrats were neither as generous nor as ideologically rigid. Robert Kraft donated $204,300 from 2008 to 2014 (63.8 percent to Democrats). Arthur Blank spent $177,400 (74.2 percent to Democrats).

kraft is well known as a democrat, he just personally likes trump (i didn't know Blank was, that makes me feel bad for him :smith: )

Not that the Falcons really deserved it after the biggest choke job in the history of sport but NFL overtime rules are dumb and both teams should be guaranteed a possession. I'd like it if postseason games were a full extra quarter but baby steps.

on the one hand yes, on the other hand they did have a whole 28 minutes to kick one measly field goal i dunno how much they were going to get out of that second possession

Seriously, Julio Jones isn't human

and no part of that catch was luck either

edelman got a lucky bounce off someone's leg while doing his insaneo-catch, jones just managed to grab a ball when he was not open, get his toes down through sheer magic, and still hold onto the ball

it was absolutely insane, they showed the "what does this look like from the QB's perspective" and he was covered as all hell

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?

And "whatever you do, don't take a sack" is something he should be able to rely on Ryan to execute.

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.

I mean I can't really look at a 28-3 score in the third quarter and think "this game is sealed but only if they get some more points". The game was sealed. I mean, somehow they still blew it but the numbers were as close to 100% win probability as it gets.

Say the Falcons come out in the 2nd half, play cover 0, mostly man, and are able to rush more than the Pats can block. Both flats are covered, Brady has less time and can't pick holes in a zone. He definitely throws another pick or gets strip sacked at least. And then its game over. Who was the Pats deep threat? NFL coaches are so dumb sometimes. You just know the Falcons spent the hour long halftime on a comedown from their adrenaline high and couldnt get it back

chris hogan is their deep threat, somehow

yes, i don't believe it either, but its true

I'm sorry, I'm still super pissed off and overreacting to everything. It was a cluster gently caress of a game all around, you are correct. Shanahan is the easy target due to the end, but you are right if the defense were able to get off the field more it would have made a huge difference. If the offense were efficient on 3rd down, if they would have called more running plays, it would have moved the chains and allowed the defense to catch their breathe.

It was just a comedy of events man.

I really can't blame the defense. They were very solid for most of the game until they were just too gassed to continue, and the offense just kept putting the defense back on the field so they couldn't rest. Early on that was because of quick scores, which you can't really complain about, but I wouldn't pin this on the D.
