Any yet the Patriots were on the verge of winning that game despite that magnificent effort by the Giants D. Somewhat impressive by the Pats.

The Giants would have felt like the Falcons probably feel today.

But it didn't happen. It's part of the rich tapestry of NFL history now.. ;) ;)

Can you imagine if Brady and Moss had hooked up on one of those last two long prayer passes? Oh man!

Don't be skeered, it didn't happen. (but it coulda)


There was one where he had Moss, right past the fingertips

I remember thinking "Maybe we should cover that guy with 14 seconds left"

Oh, I know -- my butthole clinched up on that one. I thought he should have looked for Stallworth, but he started desperation chucking it to Moss right away -- what can you do. It was G-Men's day.

I did, It was Reported after the INT, he Screamed "You Fucking Suck!"

He said it was not big deal and plenty of players call other players out (but not like that).

I asked for an Example.
Are you talking about Brady, when you stated "I did, It was Reported after the INT, he Screamed "You Fucking Suck"? That's an example right there.

Live and learn. I think Brady has been learnt.

No that's what Sherman said to RW during a practice. Try keeping up.

LOL, "try keeping up"? What the fuck are you talking about? You have changed the conversation so many times in the last 12 hours, that you don't even know what you are talking about. NFL practices are always like this, the defense and the offense always trash talks each other.

Not in hindsight

Everyone in America thought Carroll was a dumbass on that play, as soon as Lynch was set in motion

Especially after Lynch just rumbled easily for about 9 yards on the previous carry

People who didn't watch the Seahawks thought Carroll was a dumbass. Broken record, but Lynch had been downright shitty in short yardage against stacked run fronts for a season and a fucking half before that game. He'd already been stopped on short yardage TWICE in that same fucking game.

So sure, dumbasses thought Carroll was a dumbass. You know who didn't think Carroll was a dumbass? Belichek.

ESPN trying to drum up something to talk about???? Didn't read the article, #clickbait.

Meh, I thought it was a pretty good article. Something has been going on with Sherm, at least that article puts some explanation into what.

Belichick didn't use a timeout on that play cause he couldn't believe the dumbassery

Agreed totally, if I recall correctly Beastmode was 20% succesful for the year in that situation.

Serious question. Are you mentally challenged?

Oh if you want to broadside Carroll for his time management in that game, please, feel the fuck free. That was horrible. If he'd done a better job at that, he wouldn't have had to worry about stopping the clock again.

What he wasn't a 'dumbass' for was calling a pass on the fateful play.

Again, in HINDSIGHT, I wanted him to roll Wilson out, (where he could throw the ball away if the pass or run was covered by B +B,) but oh well, don't get hindisght in life. <edit> Me wanting him to scramble wasn't hindsight, just the realization that it was the perfect call as the D turned out. Russ could've crawled into the endzone. However, (hindsight again), if a rollout was the plan, then Lockette doesn't tip B + B by leaning, and maybe it's Browner who reads the play, comes up and strips Wilson of the ball.

BINGO

I also didnt have a problem with "A Pass Play"

But they couldnt have created a more ideal situation for Bill to defend

Splitting Lynch out wide, removing the threat of a run, in a run situation, was absolutely the dumbest part of that play.....And thats when BB decided he wouldnt use a timeout when the world thought he would

Than designing a play for literally the worst WR on your roster in that spot

And like you said, not giving Wilson the run/pass option in that spot

Nope. I'm an equal opportunist.

With you it's fun.

Honestly with this clown I haven't a clue if he's even all there? He's been all over the place saying stupid shit and then tries to deflect.

Anyway you're ok with me as long as you stay north of tge 49th.
