2018 Playoffs

I still don't get what with 10 seconds left the d-backs don't just hold like crazy if they let anyone past them. At worst they get a five yard penalty and an untimed down. Same with interference on anything short. Then there's no choice but to throw the hail mary - no chance for a FG.

Defensive holding wouldn't have been the worst thing to do but couldn't interference put them in FG range and even if there was no time left on the clock there would still have been an untimed down for MN to kick it?

Like I said interference could happen only on short stuff. But just grab if your guy gets by you.

Still the rule is to be more aggressive because refs don’t want to decide games. Belichickism.

[SkinBasket]

Lol. Kudos to both photoshop jobs.

I don't understand why going low means lower than his feet. I think that excuse doesn't wash.

The New England Patriots listed Brady as questionable to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday's AFC Championship Game because of a hand injury.

A source close to the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport that Brady suffered a cut to his right thumb during Wednesday's practice. The cut was gushing blood and required stitches, per Rapoport.

After not practicing Thursday, Brady was limited Friday. A source told Rapoport that Brady was "zinging it pretty good" during the session.

Brady wouldn't talk about the injury during Friday's news conference, giving only short, clipped answers about his status. The Patriots quarterback mostly vacillated between "I'm not talking about it" (when asked about his hand), and "we'll see" (when queried about his status). Brady also wore gloves on both hands during the entire media session.

Not sure if Brady ever plays with a glove. A cut that required stitches has to be protected. I'm sure he'll start, but a problem with a thumb can make throwing more difficult.

Brady no glove, partial love. FG on first drive where they went down the field in small chunks with one 4th down conversion.

Hard to say if affecting him, didn't look like it on throws or handoff. Romo said he thought it was more shotgun than normal, but its early.

Jags got to Brady just once.

Jags are getting after them big time.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jax offense looking good.

True, but never count Brady and hoody out.

[Rutnstrut]

Odd though that a team with a great defense and running game can look this good. It's the anti stubby way and that can't work.

Good thing for Spectrum here in Wausau Packers aren't playing. Cable still out. Internet was out but is back.

They’ve hit Tommy a few times now after a throw. If they can get away with it, might aggravate injury.

They have schemed themselves a passing game versus 8 in a box. We’ll see if it holds up

Haven't seen anything I would consider a foul. They haven't been hitting him late.

[Rutnstrut]

Evidently the Jags can mug the Pats receivers today without any danger of a flag.

There was one that was easily late.
