Now that the Giants have confirmed that the Patriots time on top has been decapitated and that you really can't spell Elite without Eli, and that Bill Belichick is a great coach, but he was a greater couch when he cheated, we can finally get to talking about things that I like to talk. Basketball, College BBall and Baseball.
Last night there could be goats on the Patriots Welker, Brady, Hernandez, Gronk's ankle, Bill Belichick, Cutting a Taiquan Underwood before the game, Deion Branch. When you saw all these passes being dropped, you could have thought to yourself, "Maybe Underwood would have caught that?" I did. Karma works in funny ways.
Here is what happened bad:
Wes Welker dropping a ball threw a little behind him (should have been caught), Aaron Hernandez dropping a pass and Brandy leading Branch into a tough catch that was dropped.
Bill Belichick challenging a play that was blatantly in bounds. Bill was standing 10 feet from that play. I guess this will be left out of the Captains video game of Bill Belichicks Situation Football. Actually the mismanagement in the final 2 minutes was atrocious. Also the 12 men on the field call, when they would have got the turnover was a JV penalty that really killed them.
And then Tom Brady deserves some of his share of blame, he forced the pass to Gronk which led to a INT. Then he had a brainfart by getting a safety 1st play.
I've been hearing a lot "if Gronk" was healthy excuses and it's true. When Tom loses his security blanket in Gronk, he's a mediocre QB. With him losing the only explosive player on offense killed him.
You can't blame any of the officiating at all, as the Patriots got 2 unbelievably favorable calls and non calls. One when Brandon Jacobs ran for a 1st down and they called a phantom hold, and then the other one was a no call on the blatant pass interference call Sterling Moore should have got.
Although those mistakes were costly, you have to give respect to the better team, and better QB. Eli Manning is Elite and as much as I hate his stupid hick face, he's a Hall Of Famer and he's 2-0 in Superbowls. The Giants have a hell of a QB over there, too bad she's a girl
Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training in a couple weeks. Celtics have been playing incredible and Kentucky just made South Carolina look like a JV team. Things are going Dave's way.
James Harrison had these truths to say:
Told you, cheaters never win!!!!!!!!!
