Playoff Losses
Tom Brady: 9
Blake Bortles: 0
He was already closing on him as he might normally. Then he realizes he might get there an instant too soon. So he ducks and goes for the less obvious interference by taking out his legs.
He also could have been trying to plant him in the turf rather than wrestle an airborne player to the turf without getting near the sideline. Risky, but I could sort of see it.
Not a good play, but I definitely think he was trying something out of the ordinary. Haven't see the rookie play much but I doubt that is his normal tackling style.
I've never bought into the conspiracies about the NFL being a bought and paid for product before, but that play last night might have been one the most suspicious looking plays I've ever seen. Not as bad as boxing, but getting close.
That guy just did the old "don't use your arms to tackle and go for a big hit" mentality that too many secondary guys like to do. He wanted a highlight reel of him taking out Diggs' legs so he goes ass over teakettle and his the ground in spectacular fashion. Well, you got your highlight play buddy.
He went low for whatever reason. Had Diggs come down in bounds the game is over, he falls out of bounds and it's a 53 yarder to win.....either way, nice throw and nice catch and heads up play .....no idea what the CB was trying to do nor do I care as you can imagine.
If our defense would've made a stop - this final series vs cardinals and Hail Mary would be one of the best ever. No nelson, ty, Adams or Cobb. And Jeff fucking Janis makes two huge catches to force OT.
