Always thought the key to the Pats has been their OL. Have they had the same OL coach all these years? Put Brady behind the Steelers or Ravens OL the last few years and he's out of the league now.
Belicheat better be getting fined by the league. Not only was he the only coach in the league not wearing the salute to troops hoodie/jacket, he was also the only one that didn't use the camo bose headset...(which is kind of fishy if you ask me)
As long as they have Brady they will be the best team in football. Guy has added mobility this year and is throwing deep better than he has in 10 years.
You know it...

Especially that deep throw on the last drive that was way under thrown and gifted to Giants for an easy INT.
Copied and pasted from 2007.
I guess you missed the perfect bomb to Gronk or the perfect 60 yard bomb to LaFell. Brady has 24 TDs and 3 INTs on the season while Ben is at a poor 10 TDs versus 7 INTs . Brady is great we can hate him all we want.
Is it mandatory? The pink **** for breast cancer isn't.
Here was the situation:To be fair to the Giants, they did throw a TD on that first play at the end. Beckham had control and 2 feet down and then it was raked out by the defender. He did not go to the ground so there was no other mystery elements to the catch other than control and 2 feet down. Should have been a TD.
Here was the situation:
Timeout #2 by NE at 02:10.
2-5-NE 23 (2:10) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass deep left to 17-D.Harris pushed ob at NE 5 for 18 yards (24-R.Melvin).
Timeout #1 by NYG at 02:06.
1-5-NE 5 (2:06) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass short left to 13-O.Beckham Jr. for 5 yards, TOUCHDOWN. The Replay Official reviewed the pass completion ruling, and the play was REVERSED. (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass incomplete short left to 13-O.Beckham Jr. (21-M.Butler).
2-5-NE 5 (2:01) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass incomplete short right to 17-D.Harris.
Two-Minute Warning
3-5-NE 5 (1:56) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning sacked at NE 11 for -6 yards (90-M.Brown).
Timeout #3 by NE at 01:50.
4-11-NE 11 (1:50) 3-J.Brown 29 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-51-Z.DeOssie, Holder-9-B.Wing.
If you run the ball in this scenario and you end up with the field goal (which outside of a fumble is the worst case scenario). First down would be the 2 min warning. Second is a New England Timeout. Third becomes a real problem for them because if you score then it is over. But if you don't by the time the unpiling happens, you are under a minute. I'd say probably 50 seconds and no timeouts left. They have to go 45 yards in 50 seconds with no timeouts. If OBJ catches that ball its two minutes and 80 yards with a timeout. That really isn't much better.
Personally, I don't think they're that good. For some reason, teams make stupid mistakes against them, its unexplainable. The Colts f'd up punt formation, the Steelers leaving Gronk uncovered, the Giants passing when they should be eating clock.... Its like opposing teams allow the *pats to get in their heads and make them do things that are out of character.
Eventually some team will simply play their own game and beat these clowns, but I hope it doesn't happen until their first playoff game, it'll hurt so much more then.
Bwady underthrew that close interception because he was under pressure. THAT is how you beat the *'s. Anyone playing them should pull out all the stops early to rattle (or hobble) that ******. Take a flag or two but get in that head. And it really wasn't an easy pick.....dude landed on the ball....after a pretty nice catch.
I think much like the SB, there is a team that is afraid of Brady and is really over thinking things. Slam the ball in with hard runs.As I watched that sequence I got so frustrated with the Giants play calling. They gave that game away just by their playcalling at the end. They made it easy for them by giving them just under 2 minutes to move the ball less than 50 yards.
As long as they have Brady they will be the best team in football. Guy has added mobility this year and is throwing deep better than he has in 10 years.
