Bill deserves to be raked over coals for that one As a Pats fan, I fully agree. I don’t know what he was smoking with that decision. If it was some disciplinary action, Malcolm better have lit a box of puppies on fire for Bill to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD More like they are happy they got their first Super Bowl win. Could have been against a team from Canada, they would have the same reaction. Which, again. Congrats to them, it’s nice to see a new 1st time winner. I’ll take a loss to the Eagles over a loss to someone who has several wins and are a regular to the play offs.

We've always hated them a lot. xP Plus, we DID lose to them on a technicality of all things this season!

chococoke Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Bill said it was for "football reasons," aka, he wasn't good enough to see defensive snaps, but Jonathon Bademosi (a career fucking special teamer) can get snaps and miss a crucial tackle late in the game. It's ironic to me, in that Bill's arrogance is well-deserved given his coaching ability, but it has often held him back in certain situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Butler, the Timeout that was poorly used, and whatever the hell the Brady plays Wide Receiver thing was. He got cocky this game, and he paid for it. That and the defense. We let up 41 points, and kept letting up on third downs. If just one of those was stopped, it would have been a different story tonight.

Only their comeback was stopped early this game. Edited February 5, 2018 by Slumber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We let through so many 3rd downs. 10 of 16. It was ridiculous. A lot of that was on Bill and his BS, and the defense not showing up. Brady seemed a bit off this game, but still pulled over 500 yards. The offense wasn’t the issue, it was the defense and Bill getting cocky. Edited February 5, 2018 by Tolvir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Wasn't the Pats' D rather bad all season though? And maybe old man Bill should retire soon if he's holding his team back now... Heh heh. Edited February 5, 2018 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 That game played like Steelers-Jaguars to me, sorta. Eagles kinda had it the whole game, but the Patriots kept catching up. Even took the lead. Still, incredible Super Bowl, I love offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD It’s all good. :p. I’m not a super fan of sports so I get things mixed up, mostly follow because my family all love it. And since my dad has been a Patriots/Falcons fan since he was a kid, so am I. My brother even plays in HS, and is looking to possibly play in college. Note taken though.

I only really like NFL football (when there's not a bunch of stupidity going on, that is) and some NHL hockey every now and then myself. Though part of the reason for the latter is the Penguins' recent back to back Stanley Cups... lol My younger brother's best friend plays college football too and is really good. He tried to kill himself not long ago though, because he'd been going through depression. I blame my brother for this though, because he committed suicide himself three years ago. He caused a lot of people a lot of pain. I realize he was in some pain himself, but we did try to help him and suicide is never the answer. I'm just glad his friend is alright. I don't think I could deal with another person I know taking their own life and I wouldn't want his family to go through what mine has. I know my brother's friend fairly well, he's a really good guy. His mom is really nice too. The kid better not do that again and keep moving forward. He could be a great NFL player someday! And he could play for my brother's favorite team, the Packers, for all he knows. (Don't ask why my brother never liked the Steelers, as I don't know. xP He did like the Penguins though, even if it was more because of them being called the Penguins. He liked penguins.) I also root for the Panthers myself, btw. Been doing so for the last few years since I lived in NC, became a big fan of Cam Newton, and developed a little crush on Luke Kuechly. lol Edited February 5, 2018 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine what any of that is like. Outside of NFL, I really don’t follow anything else. WWE would be the closest but that isn’t really a sport, more like reality TV mixed with some fun shows of athleticism. As far as teams besides the Pats/Falcons go, I am a bit of a fan of the Lions. Living in Detroit for 4 years kind of does that though, and they are truly the underdog. Which makes me hopeful that a change in coaches changes things up for them.

I must not remember at all... But yeah. It is sad... Anyway, I see. My stepbrothers used to be kind of into wrestling when they were kids. Not so much anymore though. They kind of just moved on from it, really, being adults now. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see some more teams who haven't had any success in awhile actually start having some again.

chococoke Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 lol that's an elite gif also one day later and I still can't believe Butler didn't play a single goddamn snap.

Anacybele Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Yeah, and hopefully it shows people that even the greatest coaches can make mistakes, because I'm pretty tired of Steelers fans crying "FIRE TOMLIN!" every time we lose. He's not an excellent coach, but he's still a good one and can get better. And a loss is not always the coach's fault either. That gif is LOL though.

chococoke Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's idiotic to me in the sense that it implies Belichick can do no wrong. Obviously he deserves trust more so than any coach in the league but that doesn't mean his moves should be blindly followed or that he's somehow above making a bad move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) to see that final drive, which is usually magic, implode so ferociously was breathtaking. it happened in a way that i almost feel bad for the pats. this, along with the 2-3 coach shufflings, will hopefully end the pats' dynasty. it's fuckin time!!
