GB completed a long pass. Hurry, quick get together and make up a flag!

Well, they did go to the SB in 1985, but after Eason got hurt and Douglas Flute got benched then cut, they were TERRIBLE for like 5 years. I remember Okoye fumbling against them on the first play of a game in a snowstorm...and we still beat the pants off them.

Whoever owned the franchise in 1993 literally lured Bill Parcells out of a handshake deal that Parcells made with Hugh Culverhouse to become the Bucs coach with the largest salary a coach had ever been paid for Big Tuna to come to NE.


They drafted Bledsoe and Bruschi and McGinist and Ty Law and Chris Slade and Malloy and Curtis Martin and brought in Meggett and Otis other 'Parcells guys'...

And they didn't suck.

Then, Bob Kraft bought the team in 1994...and he and Parcells immediately had problems...but the team was decent if inconsistant and Parcells lost to former protégé Bellichick in the 94 playoffs, who coached the Browns.

So when Belichick got fired from Cleveland, Parcells brought him to NE as Asst HC/DBs...and BBs main administrative job as Asst HC is to basically be liason between the Krafts and Parcells.

And this is when the Terry Glenn thing happened, and Parcells decided he was leaving at the end of the season no matter what...

And they went to the ****ing Super Bowl.

The way I heard it, Parcells made no secret he was leaving NE after the game, win or lose - BB said it was a distraction all week, and Parcells didn't even fly back with the Pats.

So they went to the Jets where BB was going to be HC but Parcells was to be "advisor", eventually Tagliabue stepped in and the Jets basically traded for Parcells and Curtis Martin. BB came with them.

Bob Kraft hired Pete Carroll, who had been fired by the Jets for Rich Kotite, who had less business being an NFL coach than I do, which is who Parcells replaced, but I digress...

When Parcells retired from NYJ, BB agreed to become HC of the Jets, and iirc actually was introduced as their new HC...

then Bob Kraft fired Pete Carroll to offer complete and total control of the NE Pats to BB...so BB quits the NYJ the same day he got hired to accept the Pats job.

The nucleus of the Super Bowl team he had coached 3 years previous was still there, as was Drew Bledsoe. They drafted Brady as an afterthought in the 6th round, Bledsoe got hurt week 2 of 2001, BBs 2ND season...

And you know the rest of the story.

A lot of divine providence there, I guess.

Holding

LOL Flag on first and goal. Refs scared they might score

Another flag on the Pack. Its insane.

Duh.

There’s the bail out

Such a weak call.

Bullshit

The RB clearly had the edge and shouldn’t have cut it back inside.

Pats don’t ever get called for holding with that patchwork OL though

LMAO

Pats are a joke. Refs champs.

Woo!

Suck on that Patriots

YES YES RODGERS YOU STUD

Chung!

CHUNG!

It's weird that NE never holds, but everyone that plays them does.

Nice throw.

Great TD pass from Rodgers.

I wish I had a dollar for every time these cackleheads said tmo brady

Noticed that

**Late games official thread**
 

That’s awfully specific. I don’t think you will get many dollars.

Same as it ever was. Brady OL perfect all the time.

Can't Mercedes Benz afford a different commercial after 5 ****ing years?

Rodgers pulled a Mahomes on that one and told the refs to shove those drive-killing penalties up their asses.

I'm shocked they didn't review that, change it to an interception, give the Patriots 10 points for no reason, and eject Rodgers.

The Pats are handing the ball to Cordy Patterson.

They can't possibly hope to compete with us come January.

Cordelle Patterson in the LeGarrette Blunt role

Send a safety blitz...

Bullshit slants for days. Teams need to blitz and jam receivers. Even if you don't sack Brady, at least you will get some hits on him.

I love how the announcers acknowledge the Patriots cheating with the pick plays, but they never call out the league for letting them get away with it over and over.

And there's the flag LOL

How can it be DPI for a pass that wasn't even close to the receiver.

EDIT: far angle made it look wider than it truly was. Whatever.

And there’s the bail out AGAIN

Bailout inbound.

You gotta be TDs better in Foxboro to win. ****ing refs.

Uncatchable ball

Pretty clear penalty there

Never saw Kelce get that call.

I thought that was going to be a garbage bail out but that was probably the right call. Defender was all over him.

Proper call.

Damnit

**** the ref and the patriots

Only uncatchable because he held him for 2 seconds.

So DPI is called, but not OPI on the blatant pick play that set up a 30 yard gain.

Had to hit mute.

Its in the bag for the Pats. Brady not allowed to lose at home.

I like how all Brady has to do is throw up his hands and here comes the call...also lets hit the dude in the head with the flag.

Nope.

You know they would've missed that call if the roles had been reversed though

The shit with the Pats that's annoying is it is not called down the middle, they can do shit and then the other team does it and it's a flag.

that's not a TD

He wasn't in. They'll score the next play so it doesn't matter.

He's not even in.

He was short, but they are trying to give this to the Pats.

Watch them let it stand.

Dynasty is a fraud. This shit has been happening for years. **** them and their bullshit fan base.

He looked down short if it matters.

This is why Tom doesn't retire, he doesn't have to, the NFL will ensure he succeeds.

Doesnt matter. Kraft own Roger all day.

Until the Chiefs D learns to wrap up and tackle. Pat's will compete and probably win..

Chiefs gonna have to win out to get hfa

Surprise surprise.

I don't understand how the NFL isn't called out on this stupid shit. Instead we hear about players kneeling not about how games looked rigged.

Catch that ball!

Holy shit wow

I don’t think so. The Patriots are still not a good road team.

Catch the ball you ****ing ****

BTW, I switched to SKC's game, I think we all know who's going to win the Pats/Refs/NFL vs. Packers game...

Well when you get every call..for some reason Boston matters.

Steelers are the only decent team the Patriots play the rest of the year.

brady gonna get his 1 yard here?

BLOW ME BRADY BITCH

Just do your QB reach over the goaline shit so the announcers can suck you off.

Yuge

Amazing what happens when you blitz him

Surprised as the crowd is that no flag was thrown there

**** yes!

**** you Patriots!!!

Huge stop Packers. OK McCarthy, don't screw this up with a dumbass run play like Reid did against the Steelers.

Pats are reeruned for not pounding it twice.

:D
