Super Bowl LII: NE vs. PHI

[Eja117]

Tom has played cruddy so far

Cue the stupid "Shoulda kept Garapalo" junk all off season

Hahaha, aren't you the one that wanted to trade Brady for Ryan about 5 seasons ago?

Ryan?

Falcons Matt Ryan. Thought you were hoping for a first or two and Matt Ryan in exchange for Brady.

If it wasn't you, my bad. Even if it was you, no harm.

Okay, on to next season....

I'd be interested if you could go find that. I think I said we should look around.

Roy suggested if we could get both Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews we could do that.

If brady doesn't win super bowl mvp, its rigged

IDK about rigged.  Brady had more yards, but Foles led the game winning drive.

Foles also had a TD catch.

Now all he needs is a job next year.

That play call ranks up there with the best of them in SB history.

I too hate it when my QB only throws for a measly 489 yards

Well when Nick Foles outplays you.....

Dude, Brady had over 400 yards passing.  He played fine.  The Pats defense was atrocious.  That's why they lost.

over 500.

Team put up 33 points (should have had 4 more from easy field goals). defense just couldnt stop a nose bleed. They punted what? one time?

Blaming Brady for this is so hilarious and just shows how spoiled we are. Tommy puts up 505 and 3 TDs with his #2 target sitting in the locker room against a top 5 defense and people have the audacity to say Brady played badly.

Is it audacity to say what happened?

Don’t think I’ll miss Patricia

At the very least critical mistakes and unforced ones

It’s only audacity when you’re laughably incorrect

Brady went for over 500 yds, had 3 TDs and they Pats did not punt once.  He did his job.  Pats defense let them down, especially their DBs.  Butler has not been great but he is not Eric Rowe bad.

Two missed kicks hurt too and I think they got the Clement TD call wrong.  You could see the ball move but it was not glaring so they went with the call on the field.

Last note, if you watch the hail mary from the end zone angle you will see that a DB clearly popped Hogan at about the 20 yard line.  That should have been a penalty and another untimed down.  Still very unlikely that they pulled off the hail mary though.

The defense panicked.

They have a history of it in the first half of recent playoff games. The Ravens divisional game in 2014. The Broncos 2015 AFCCG against a cooked Peyton Manning. The SB against the Falcons last year. The Titans and Jags games this year.

Is it the personnel or the coaching? Why can they suddenly not tackle, and are reacting to the other team a half-second late?

[Phantom255x]

Brutal loss.

But congrats to Philly. They came to play and deserved it.

But WHY did they sit Malcolm Butler!?!?! Wow...

TP, me neither.

You're probably the one and only person in the world that thinks Brady played badly.

But I guess everyone else is wrong and you are right, right?

[SparzWizard]

The defense can walk home from Minnesota.

Agree. Way too often this D has panicked in the first half of playoff games. That falls on the coaching staff. Not even Brady can dig out of some of these holes.

it has to be coaching. Someone up top is spooking them.. They all seem to get the Fultz yips every time


Lets hope they spend every draft pick on DBs, DT, maybe SS and any other defensive positions
