there should be an age limit to life

On that first down run, the Patriots motioned someone and the edge defender reduced his gap and was inside the tackle's should, meaning he could be hooked inside unless he defeats the Tackle immediately.

We have seen this happen to Perry and Matthews. This wasn't an accident, it was by design for both offense and defense.

Which means an inside player, safety or ILB was supposed to get to the edge. Only the corner did, who took out a blocker.

Its all a numbers game on the outside.

Patriots sure had tough road to Super Bowl again

Remember this back in September?

Mike Lombardi, who recently created a stir with strong criticism of Doug Pederson, defended and explained his comments Tuesday.

Lombardi, a former NFL executive who has worked for the Patriots, 49ers, Browns, Raiders and Eagles, ripped Pederson's qualifications to be a head coach.

"Now, everybody knows Pederson isn't a head coach," Lombardi, now with The Ringer, said. "He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I've seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL. Pederson was barely a coordinator before he became a head coach!"

So, what was behind the remarks?

"I just voiced an opinion — it's not a hot take by no means," Lombardi said on CSN's Tuesday edition of Philly Sports Talk. "I've studied the Eagles, I've studied the NFL for 35 years, I've been to four Super Bowls, I've won three. I've been around Bill Walsh, I've been around Bill Belichick, I've been around Al Davis — I think I know what a good coach looks like. I just don't see Doug being able to be ready for the job that they [have] given him, and I think that's the challenge."

Best coached team in the NFL by far.

Absolutely. Bill Belichick makes that half time adjustment every time.

If your not up by at least 10 Points at the half your in deep trouble.

What can you say about the addition of James Harrison and what he gave to the NE Defense!? That addition was a key to the win. Belichick makes a Man really believe and gives new life and inspiration to a player. It's suddenly a real chance and Super Bowl with Belichick and Brady.

Down 10 Points with what?... 9-10 Minutes to go and Danny Amendola is told. " Your going to be the Man."

Every game it's someone different to lead. You cannot invent that stuff without "Genius and Coaching"; and knowing how and when to bring in new talent. Of course, it sure helps to have a QB with the awesome talent and competitive Spirit of Tom Brady.

It's incredible to love football and see and truly appreciate all that The New England Patriots brings to the NFL game.

Ohh by the way:

Mae says Tom's hand wasn't all that bad. Did anyone see anything different than Mae?

I may have missed it. But I don't think there were any POS kneelers in either game during the national anthem.

Lombardi is just terrible. He is quintessentially inconsequential.

[Rastak]

I liked the old celebration rules.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Again, the Vikes do a great job scheming people open.

[pbmax]

I liked the old celebration rules.

No way. No Fun League rules were terrible.

The curling routine was just OK though.

Nice no DPI

Was good coverage.

You probably were making nachos or taking a shit like most Americans during the national anthem on a TV broadcast. Or they didn't show players protesting. No one cared about the National Anthem on TV until Fox News told them to.

Was good coverage.

I thought that was what I said!

[pbmax]

I know it seems sounds like sour grapes now but the NFL is so wide open this year. Terrible year for the QB to go down

Patriots have a brutal D at times against Pass. They are very vulnerable.

[Rastak]

Terrible decision.

Might have hit his arm but still risky ass pass.
