Or do they?

I could see your point if KC had actually had the balls to go for 2 and take the lead, but KC was down by 7. Going for the tie against Brady-Bellichick with more than 3 minutes on the clock is very much playing into your opponent’s hands.

Agree, but they should have gone for two (both times -- earlier to tie and again to take the lead). 

I don’t think it was a blown coverage. It was the Patriots looking at the clock (and scoreboard) and deploying their defense to avoid KC grinding out first downs. They took a chance leaving single coverage deep even to a team with an explosive Mahomes-Hill connection *because* they knew they’d just get the ball back…

People are acting like that 12-second drive was an accident.

You mean the same instincts that allowed a 41-year old man to truck 4 yards into the end zone?

I thought you’re supposed to let up after the tackle, not during it. Or then again, there’s this. https://sports.theonion.com/nfl-urges-pass-rushers-to-try-reaching-peaceful-resolut-1829659755

Making lame excuses for biting on a Patriots fake is becoming standard sports analysis in today’s NFL.

As a Mass native, I saw the middle fingers during the broadcast as Tyreek finished that play and was really sad. Just came here to say we’re not all like that. (But if I had been within beer-throwing range of A-rod after the glove slap...).

My feeds all tend to reinforce my views (left of center). I would like a “challenge feed” that shows me what the right wingosphere sees in their bubble to know if I am trapped in mine. 

Can he catch a football? Put him in pads and run go routes at WR.

Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned from the 2015 Broncos when Peyton was in full decline. Is it too late to get Osweiler and a couple of deadly pass rushers?

Here is all the nuanced discussion you need: Gun violence can serve an artistic purpose on the screen and sensible gun control is important in real life.

Well, if he gave up a lot of runs to the Astros last year in the post-season, that means he will definitely give up a lot of runs to them this year because analytics.

Garbage time in this game started approximately halfway through the second quarter.

When Petchesky requested an interview, Mitel spokesman Angel Hernandez could not be reached for comment.

Hitting for the cycle is cool. They really should have played Brock at every position too. I mean, if anyone can do it, he can. And they were certainly in a position to put him on the mound in the 9th.

Why stop there, ND Republicans? Why not ask Native Americans to prove their U.S. citizenship? FFS.

I was about to say, Tom Brady would stand there under center say “I’m running a sneak! I’m running a sneak!” good and loud so the defense could hear it and then run a sneak and it works approximately 100% of the time. And Brady does not exactly have a Beast Mode in his arsenal.
