Part of me is hoping a CDC nerd is reading this and calculating the risk of attending a game (divide deaths by annual attendance) and comparing it to some competing risk, like being hit by a drunk driver on the way home from the game. I’m not arguing against fan safety measures, but probably the best fan safety…

I don’t understand this post. Are you, like me, a huge Pats/Brady fan and willing to like sports people for what they do on the field as long as they are not domestic abusers/child beaters/pedos? I mean, I loved Curt Schilling the pitcher even if Curt Schilling the person is a right wing meme-spreading lunatic. And…

I just hope Edelman saw his D-teammates in the locker room and said “You da real MVP”

Well, I enjoyed watching it and you can’t take that away from me. I loved the pace of the game, with very few penalties or reviews. I loved watching the Patriots confuse and sack Goff. I wish Brady could have connected with Hogan and Patterson and his throws could have been Superbowl caliber, but they scored when they…

I wish all the haters saying this game sucked could see the whole field and appreciate what the defenses were doing back there. The announcers could have helped more.

My wife will ask why I’m not wearing my wedding band. Then I whip out a fresh cookie and watch a smile spread across her face.

I watched every minute of it. Perhaps if we could see the downfield coverages it would have been better. You don’t get to see most of the chess game going on in the defensive secondary because they are out of picture.

That was an awesome bounce (even saying as a Pats fan). I think it was intentional too. Punting from deep, you want it to hit and then spin forward which is exactly what it did with high velocity. It was pretty cool. Hekker had an MVP case if they had won.

I wanted to see Chicago or Baltimore make it to the conference round. They had potential as giant-killers.

Um, no. Just because you couldn’t see the downfield coverage on TV, doesn’t mean both teams didn’t pull of miracles in the secondary. They show you the line of scrimmage until someone throws the ball, so unless you were there, I don’t think this taek is very useful.

Pats fan here to properly spell my rebuttal. Ok, there weren’t explosive plays with big yardage gains. Even the defensive battle didn’t have strip sacks, although each team had a pick and there were some close calls, big QB chasedowns and knockdowns. But what do fans complain about the most? Endless replays and…

Brady took at least one bad sack too and several of his first half throws last night were just bad, like almost Peyton Manning final year bad, but people forget. Goff was never good. Look at Week 14 vs. the Bears. Maybe the era of good offense is just the era of bad defense, and occasionally, a team like Chicago,…

Bears-Rams in week 14 I think was 15-6. Nobody complained about that one. Instead everybody just crowed about how great Chicago’s D was. Now NE holds them to 3 and it’s all “that game sucked”

Hold on now. I think the Yankees could pull it off. Aaron Judge as LB covering Gronk. CC Sabathia as a down lineman with Betances and Acevedo. Stanton at DE. Ellsbury at wideout. Might need some Blue Jays and Rays to round out the offense. 

This.

That was actually a wild game with lots of turnovers, but yes, it was one-sided and didn’t have lead changes or much tension.

You have a short memory. I remember a long string of superbowls decided when the AFC team folded in the first 20 minutes and second half advertisers practically wanted their money back. Mostly Buffalo and Denver teams if I recall correctly.

“One snapped leg, and maybe another snapped leg, kept the Washington Football team from the playoffs.”  You can do these scenarios all day and different teams end up on top.

Brady had at least as much to do with his team’s win that Peyton Manning had in SB L

No. It was not good.
