Jace, Extat Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just now, Maithanet said: I was personally surprised that there were only two Saints around to make the play. There were only two real danger areas of the field: the sideline ~25-30 yards down the field. Why wasn't there any backup for Williams if he misses the tackle? This SB Nation article indicates that there were two Vikings essentially covering the middle of the field (for no good reason). The article also highlights that Diggs was pretty close to going down even without contact. He had to contort himself to catch it, and was off balance on the landing. Even a crappy tackle attempt would have done it. Or contact could have arrested his momentum. Don't think I'm being silly either, we see it all the time when it looks like a DB is going to lay out a guy but they end up just bouncing off of each other. Regarding the scheme, isn't that hack who was the Broncos Defensive coordinator when Tim Tebow personally carried the entire franchise to the promised land on the strength of his god given anti-abortion message slumming it in NO now?

Rockroi Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 So Tom Brady was injured in practice on Wedneday an DNP in practice on Thursday. Injury was to his throwing hand. I did not comment on this because I was n th middle of a three-day trial. Brady has ony been seen n public with gloves on and a splint can be seen over his right thumb. Today Brady had a pess conferece. When asked about his hand he said he wasn't going to talk about it. I would like to be the first to congradulate the 2017 AFC Champion Jacksonville Jaguars. But, hey least the Pat didn't trade fantastic starter-caliber QB at the trade deadline for a second rounder or anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has only been a story because there are four teams left in the playoffs, so we have to talk about something. Everything is magnified this time of year. Brady will be fine for the AFC Championship game against the Jaguars. *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cas Stark Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The football gods may have had in mind to recreate the origin story of the dynasty...Brady goes down and Garoppolo was supposed to come in, lead them to the SB win, and then the changing of the guard. So, this may not end well for the pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace should favor the Jaguars, even with a healthy Brady. Jace should know they have the perfect defense to defeat Brady. And to quote Mina Kimes, “Belichick has no strategic advantage in this game because the Jaguars offense is so incredibly dumb.” Also, these know nothing bandwagon fans around me need to keep their mouths shut!

The defense has an honest chance make no mistake, but there is no 'perfect' defense against Brady and McDaniels/Belichick. The Jags have shown they can be taken advantage of on the ground, and I will not be the least bit surprised if Tom Brady does not attempt a forward pass in an 11-10 Pats victory (safety and 3 FG's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, the Jags’ D is perfectly designed to take down the Pats. They can rush with four, aka Bray’s kryptonite, and they have two shutdown DBs and LBs that can hang with Gronk.

Put 7 DBs out there FFS. JAce heard at some point that Payton was concerned with a Tyreek Hill kind of situation. But anyway, the game was being replayed on the NFL channel and the play just happened. I saw it from the TV angle behind the endzone again and Williams actually patters his feet when the ball is coming. Right when he lowers his head he does a little happy feet because he was timing the ball's arrival. I think now that that's what happened. He was coming in for the hit, made his judgement, but threw off his aim when he had to stutter right before contact. And he would have been flagged for PI if he hadn't made that decision, no bones about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay is the only player who's big enough to stick with Gronk and talented enough not to get abused by Cooks. And god forbid the Jags ask Barry to cover a deep third when he's isolated with 14, even Pats fans don't want to see that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
