Agreed but after Lewis we still had an NFL caliber RB. After Blount we had to dust off James White, grab a special teamer, and resurrect Steven Jackson’s corpse. Oh well, win some, lose some. Injuries happen and after being very, very lucky with them last year we weren’t so lucky this year. On to next year.

If Brady can run on them for 13 yards, imagine what Cam will do.

It is not an excuse. We lost. Doesn’t change the fact our best non-Gronk weapon was limping in the locker room so Edelman clearly isn’t right, we played more OLine combos than anyone since it’s been tracked so that clearly wasn’t right, our best defenders were iffy coming into the game and Jamie Collins got beat twice…

TruFact. I was not that interested in the Pats going to the Super Bowl twice in a row because after you win one, there’s not really anything to fight for. The best outcome you can get is to just do the same thing you did last year or lose the Super Bowl. After watching the first few games, though, I thought they were…

(This is why I felt way shittier losing Dion than when Edelman went down. The short range interception - which really set the tone for the rest of the game - would never have happened with Lewis in the backfield; and with Lewis they convert on 4th in the Minute 6 attempt in the 4th Quarter.

It could be a different story in two weeks, when Denver faces a much more creative offense led by a quarterback who thrives when running away from pressure. I can’t wait to see it shake out.

You dad took a 7 year old you to an NFL game and got drunk. That’s amazing. Color me jealous, dude. These are the cherished times of our lives!

This is going to be a repeat of 2013. The Super Bowl will be over before Coldplay even takes the stage.

Too bad he’s right.

And yet, he was still able to drive down to potentially tie the game at the end despite taking a savage beating. Not really the actions of someone psyched out of his shoes, like everyone’s claiming.

The blueprint to beating Tom Brady was a familiar one for anyone who remembers the Giants’ two Super Bowl wins: Get to Brady. Get in his face. Get in his head.

He had trouble stepping into throws, for sure. But I think that was still due to pressure, he had no room out there at all.

You’re dreaming small. I’m rooting for Manning to get benched and Osweiler to rally for the win. Just so I can see the commentators try to give Manning the credit.

I had the “pleasure” of seeing Eugene Chung play in person. It wasn’t pleasant.

I’ll echo that yeah that’s probably most people’s plan, but it’s like saying “WHY DOESN’T EVERY QUARTERBACK JUST WATCH TOM BRADY AND DO WHAT HE DOES!” Because most QBs are not Tom Brady.

Vullmer was just completely out of his depth against Ware, especially in the 4th. Every other play he was coming with the outside speed rush, and Vullmer just couldn’t keep up with him. Broncos pass rushers rightly had no respect for NE rushing game.

Sorry to piss on your cherished hot takez.

I can’t wait to watch Peyton Manning and the Broncos shit the bed in the Super Bowl again. It warms the cockles of my heart.

Will be fun to see how this defense plays against the Panthers who actually have a running game.

I don’t buy this “oh, they got into his head” storyline. They knocked Brady down or got to him 20 times yesterday, and yet he still got up every time and got the last second TD and had a chance for the tying two at the end of the game. This was despite Vollmer and Cannon putting in the worst performances by offensive…
