Kroenke raped two cities to get his LA stadium built, Kraft privately financed Gillette in Foxborough. Tomato, tomahto.

If they didn’t know how to go about even trying to beat what was placed in front of them, isn’t that of some credit to the defense so completely overwhelming them they just shut down?

This one also seems worse because the two conference championships were incredibly dramatic, frustrating, high scoring affairs and this comparatively felt like watching Browns-Bills in the snow, but it was still better than a total rout.

I am confused on why the general consensus is that the game was bad. Are we, as a whole, really that enamored with offense that we cannot appreciate the defensive game that just happened?  This was not a bad football game, it was a great defensive game.  

This column captures the zeitgeist of Belichick perfectly.

I believe he ‘s petty enough that he wants to win one without Brady just so he can say “SEE? I didn’t need his ass all along.”

This is actually something that I realized after the game as that missed FG by Gostowksi was a big moment. If he had hit that, the Patriots would probably have gone for another FG later instead of that weird Fourth and 1 play. And if that had succeeded as well, and I realize these are all hypotheticals, then the game…

I mentioned this in the other thread, but that to me was just how effective the Pats defense was. Before the Super Bowl, this sports journalists who focuses Los Angeles area was explaining how his highest praise for Goff was that he had no memory. That he would go in each stretch of the game with no regard how well or…

Those are the two that immediately came to mind. Both those Super Bowls could be turned off after the 1st quarter. At least this one the Rams had a theoretical shot of winning up until about halfway through the 4th.

True, but literally no one expected the Giants to actually play well, so it was hardly a surprise when Collins farted up the field. McVay and Goff have been annointed as the FUTURE OF FOOBAW so this is a lot more shocking.

Let’s also remember the Ravens pantsing the Giants 34-7 in 2000, with NYG only scoring points off a kick return. Kerry Collins’ line that day was 15 of 39 for 112 yards and 4 INTs.

But you have to take into account the risk, especially if it was his last game, Gronk would deliberately take a knee as soon as he reached 69 yards receiving and just deliberately drop every other pass thrown to him so he could preserve this final game achievement.

There’s no good excuse for his failure, which should go down as the most humiliating performance in Super Bowl history.

The best part about the entire broadcast was Tony Romo pointing out that the Patriots were literally running the same play back to back to back on this drive merely showing different pre snap motions and throwing to different receivers.

I think this this drive represents less that they suddenly got hot, and more the type of offense the Patriots would have gone to if they had wound up in a shootout. The Patriots played conservative all night up until this drive.

stan kroenke is a trump stan.   its always a lose/lose with oligarchs.

They certainly played like their buttholes were tight.

Did someone say Chuck E Cheese

Chuck E Cheese? No sir. That is the look of a divorced dad who just realized he has to pick is kid up at the same high school as his date.

That’s the look of a divorced dad who just remembered he promised his kid they’d go to Chuck E Cheese on his next weekend.
