It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I thought Dion was great...while he was in, but he was an accident ready to happen. White? in the scheme of things White White was/is nothing more than a ****yI don't know if this is correct at all, but my gut reaction:
White vs. Dion was the difference between SB champs and not
I mean you really think kicking a FG with 2 minutes left would have sat well at the time? A competent ball-control operation and they would have got the ball back with less than a minute. You're really underestimating how much the DEN offense folded up at the very end.I don't get how the XP is what did them in. The coaching staff should've learned from the first 4th down attempt fail and kicked the 3 before the 2nd fail.
Based on the wretched OL, what kind of crack were they smoking when they thought they could convert on 4th and 6? They put their faith in the wrong unit when they should've trusted the defense. That defense balled-out and I feel awful for them.
I understand going for it the first time, but the second time was inexcusable. I know the coaching staff is a sacred cow on these boards but sometimes they screw the pooch just like everyone else.
Hindsight is 20/20 on the FG's. If they kick and go down only 5, Broncos probably play more aggressive on offense. No one can say they don't get a few first downs and flip field position. The oline did not allow them to be succesful on a long field .This is 100% on BB. They chose to play against Miami like a preseason game then they left 3 points on the field and lost by 2.
Pats kick that field goal they are going to the Superbowl.
We lost because our offense got physically manhandled and our defense came out flat early on. After their two touchdowns, we outscored them 12-6. We needed to play with more mental toughness in those opening stages.The damn XP is why we lost in the end, not the FGS.
Yeah, I don't think BB thought they would get that close again fairly easily, I see why he did it because if you convert and score a TD there, hold them and you just need a FG to win the game.they run for 99 yards and Manning throws for only 176 yards..and we lose.
Kick the FG and we win....but I do see why Bill went for it at the time. Denver's defense was dominating, yet that 1 decision played differently and Pats win...such a frustrating game, our D played well, except for those 2 Manning TD's..but they were the difference.
Thanks to belichick edelman has plenty of time to healBrady hit 23 times.
Can we cut Dobson and LaFell and get a big body WR?
Now, JE is limping badly in the locker room according to Jeff Howe.
Personally, I'd prefer a WR to be my team's deep threat.
It's all on the wretched O line. Even during last year's SB run, the signs were there that the O line personnel was subpar. It has been confirmed. Wretched from left to right. And I hope BB examines the coaching side of this grouping as well. When you can't run block and can't pass block....accountability.

The defense wasn't flat. The early defensive gameplan was the problem. Why you'd ever play zone with large cushions against Manning in Denver is mind boggling.We lost because our offense got physically manhandled and our defense came out flat early on.
