I just cannot root for the Brother****ing Cheatriots.

Wilson following appropriate face mask protocols.

They got plenty in return, but they ****ed up the draft picks

Here we go. Late games > early games.

Oh man. One final play left.

Holy shit. What a game.

Oh shit. I could see cam running it in to win

Pats are going to win on a Cam run.

Hawks are not winning the SB. This is sad.

You give yourself the option to run now.

Cam is going to run it in and the Pats are going to win.

That 3rd and 1 deep throw is just weird...

Some sort of run-pass option for Cam here

Ooh. Give me that.

EDIT: Well ****

Brady looking bad right now. Pats are better without him but Cam blew it.

Haha.

Lolololol copter

Wow

Take that NE...

Great game.

That was too obvious. Seahawks were all over it.

They put all their eggs in one basket. Needed someone to release into the flat their. Give Cam some options.

Good.

Why do you run Cam there when everyone knows your going to do it?

Can’t believe they didn’t have something to play off of what the Seahawks knew they were going to do to trick them.

Great

Is it weird that I'm happy SEA stuffed the Patsies? I mean, I can't dislike SEA much more than I already do, but . . .

Yeah, BB showed his pop-pass card too early.

Thank God

A great way to end the day...

**** the Brother****ing Cheatriots. **** ****ing you.

That's the best thing the Pats do at the goalline.
Way to sell out on the run.

They did, they just burned that play a few series ago.

Seattle lost by passing when they should've ran, now New England loses by running when they should've passed.

Every time an AFC not named the Chiefs loses it’s good for the Chiefs.

Yeah it was the right idea though.

Dirk tipped the hand.

Absolutely shit play call at the end. Bad play design...bad call..bad execution

Always in favor of NFC teams beating good AFC teams in the regular season. Helps KC in the playoff standings.

You're right, but you might as well have went back to it again over whatever that was.

I would have spread them out and do some kind of rollout

Who is Jack Collinsworth? Sounds like Chris.

Looks like Tony Romo. :D

If they keep running Can like that Stidham will be starting sooner than later.

I'm glad Seattle won, or more to the point, I'm glad the Cheatriots lost, but goddamn Pete Carrol is a ****ing moron. 3rd and 1 in that situation and you call a deep pass? Jesus. It's like Wile E. Coyote calling plays out of the ACME playbook.

We should rename the Dumbass Lounge the Pete Carrol Lounge. I'm sure Milkman would approve.

Patriots played a lot better than I expected. A win would’ve been a nice surprise but honestly I’m just glad they didn’t shit their pants. Optimistic.

Sit and spin, Belichick and Newton!

I didn’t think they ran him much tonight. Week 1 they did but tonight they seemed to place an emphasis on not running him.

Either way if our offense is hitting on all cylinders in a couple of weeks, I think Cam will force some throws and our D will get some takeaways

Would've been a great time to have a tight end leak out there and have Cam have the option for the ol' jump pass after drawing the whole Seahawks defense to him.

They did.

Right there.

Belichick burned it to get the game closer. I mean sure, he could've tried it again and maybe he should have, but the Seahawks weren't going to be completely caught off guard by it.

(P.S. This is why Andy keeps shit in his pocket when the Chiefs are winning by 17 in the 2nd half. Don't show what you don't have to)

BB's been 'stealing' touchdowns off 4-wide sets with Brady finding a seam to sneak it into for years.

I have no idea why they didn't try that here. I wonder if the thought was that Seattle would've just sold out with a run-blitz regardless of whether or not you put 4 wide and in that event, Newton's hit as he gets the snap.

Hard to say why he went that route. I don't think there was even an option pitch available to him. Pretty much relied on his guys in the trenches to out-physical a pretty strong defensive front that also had numerical superiority.

He should have at least given Cam some kind of option there. It was obvious the Seahawks were gonna be ready for that run.

It's possible that Newton had a read key of some sort.

He moved a RB in-line, IIRC. It's possible Newton had the choice of sending him out in the pattern or drag as a potential pitch option and elected not to.

Yeah true. It's possible he just made the wrong decision. He wasn't even really close on that run lol.

Wow. LMAO

That is nuts...wow

I thought Edelman got out of bounds but it was hard to tell for sure on the replay. If they used the timeout there with 28 seconds, assuming everything played out the same way, the incompletion took about 6 seconds, then the play that got them to the 1 took 7 seconds. They would've had to spike it which usually takes 10 or 11 seconds. It would've left them with somewhere around 4-6 seconds. MAYBE calling a timeout with 28 seconds would've bought them an extra play. But they thought it was better to run a hurry-up play and it worked. Edelman just didn't catch it.

What an asshole! :lame:

SUBWAY-EAT FRESH!

That's exactly what I expected to see them do as well.

I think this is just a simple case of McDaniels over-thinking the play.

As expected, it appears the Patriots upgraded at quarterback. Their defense has fallen off due to opt outs and due to free agency but it is still formidable. They will be a force in the AFC.

Going to Seattle and being a 1 yard play away from winning is nothing to be ashamed of.

It was 80% Belichick. 20% Brady.
