Lincoln Kennedy: whiny Snow Bowl loser - New England Patriots Forums

***Tunescribe*** · 04-02-2009, 08:19 PM

They're showing the snow bowl game on NFLN with player/coach commentary. I can't get over what a crybaby Lincoln Kennedy is. He keeps talking about how deflated the Raiders got after the tuck play and then again after Vinatieri's tying field goal. He says, "I can't believe the NFL stole this game from us." Not a lot of mental toughness on that team if you ask me. Instead of going all wobbly they could have sucked it up and fought through the adversity. No doubt in my mind the better team won that night (and I was there

).

Agreed, but don't underestimate how difficult it is to overcome the demographics of the players on the opposing team.

Noted and corrected.

(Ya gotta admit the weather that night was quite diverse, though.)

Al Davis is still whining about the Immaculate Reception.Why does a Raider whining about The Snow Bowl surprise You ?

Good point, although someone must think he was significant enough to offer commentary (sour grapes).

If anything, the Pats got a break that night. You knew the game was over when Brady lost the football. Even though it's in the "rule book", it still doesn't stop people questioning the legitimacy of that play. Under those crappy conditions, the Raiders did everything they could to win that game. After that miracle call, it deflated the Raiders. I don't blame Lincoln Kennedy. However, It finally came back to haunt the Pats in the '08 super bowl. You could very well argue that the entire Giants O-line held the Pats pass rushers after Adalius Thomas grabbed a hold of Manning before his miracle scramble and pass to Tyree.

If you look at the replay, Woodson got away with hitting Brady on the helmet. It was the EXACT penalty that a Pats D player was called for doing on Manning late in the 2006 AFCCG.

Flashback 25 years prior to that game - the Pats had that playoff game against the Raiders wrapped up until the officials called a bogus roughing the passer call on a Pats D player.

What comes around, goes around...

I'm sure we would have walked away fine.

Truthfully, I think we only picked it up in the second half of the four quarter and overtime, but the Raiders seemed to be pretty much in control most of that game. Let's not act like we dominated them from start to finish.
