Peter King on the last Pats TD

[He Ban Me]

uhhh; check the clock buddy. The whole point of the argument is that once Dallas called their time out; even if they took a knee on fourth down they would turn the ball over to Dallas and give them 20-30 seconds on the clock to try and throw hail marys. And if you are BB do you really want our fragile secondary (seems like they all break like china dolls every year ) to go out there on 3-4 consecutive 50 yard pass patterns with collisions and jump balls all over the place.

Or is it your thought in your brain trust there that on 4th down they should put wes welker in the backfield and tell him. Wes, just run around out there dont step out of bounds and see if you can burn up 30 seconds on one single down.
..... That would be an even more brilliant way to get someone hurt.

All told once they called the timeout the only way to make sure Dallas threw in the towel was to put up 3 scores - 2 TDs and a FG or 3 TDs on them. That way Dallas would know they had NO HOPE OF getting 3 scores in 30 seconds. Anything less .....and HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL.

Taking a knee would have burned as much time as those 2-3 yard runs. even if they still run 2nd and 3rd the same way, the RB scores with 19 seconds left, so a knee would have roughly left the same amount of time.

DUDE, NO ONE is going to score on a 98 yard play in less than at least 11-12 seconds. Please, go find where a team scored 14 points in 20 seconds, with the first score coming from their own 2 yard line.


Here's a thought. Next time, hike it to Randy in the shot gun. Have his blazing 3.33 speed run the hell down to the other goal line. I bet it would have taken a half hour for anyone on that tired D to go track him down. Game over, problem solved

I've been Peter King free for 3 weeks now and my enjoyment of the NFL hasn't dropped a bit. In fact, its increased because I don't have to bother filtering through his agenda driven crapola.

It's amazing to me how fast he has gone from respected journalist to Rush Limbaugh in a matter of weeks.

Do yourselves a favor. Remove the link from favorites menu. Unsubscribe to his RSS feed, don't click on the links. Everything he writes for the rest of career has become tainted and he can't undo what he has done.

We weren't running up the score but even if we did, WHO CARES?

Don't want to be embarrassed? Then stop us.

Who gives a flying f*ck what this sanctimonious piece of garbage, this fat-as*sed muckracker thinks?

Not I.

Fine, but what do you think about Peter King?

 

[Bostonian1962]

Is "off tackle" considered the same as "up the gut"?? IIRC, the TACKLE plays outside the Guard, who plays outside the center. Not exactly "up the gut", is it?

I'm guessing that King just likes using the word "gut"?

Yes!!! I too am a proud member of the King-free opinion army!:rocker:

They wanted to lose by 7. They weren't good enough to lose by 14. So we had no choice but to beat them by 21.

"Have his blazing 3.33 speed"...........and your boy is a ****ing gazelle out there too right?

I've never seen a poster quite like you HBM; you have the ability to speak with incredibe football knowledge in one thread, then look like the biggest ****** on the face of the earth in another.

Split personality disorder perhaps? Not sure, but it is really weird.

 

[Fixit]

Whaaaa...Peter King making sense??

Still, call me a skeptic, but his sudden reasonable treatment of the Patriots might have something to do with SI having Brady and the Pats on the cover this week. Perhaps he had some pressure from above to lay off the BS for a friggin week and let the magazine ride some positive Patriots hype.

Please. Their last two letters pages (referring to the Moss cover issue and the next one) have included 5 anti-Pats Spy-Gate letters, and not one pro-Pats one.

U realize the 3.33 is a joke, correct? Just saying that the "excuses", not that any are needed) are a bunch of BS. NO ONE HERE thinks the Boys would EVER score 14 points in 20 seconds, starting from their own 2. It is close to physically impossible.

Tell me again about the 4th down TD passes inside the 5?? With the team up by 14, with less than 30 seconds to go??

The Colts were up 28-3 against Tennessee with just over two minutes remaining and Manning passed for a TD.*

*This occurred in a DirecTV commercial, but still.

Outside of Cameragate, THERE IS NO BIGGER BILL-WALSHER OF THE PATRIOTS THAN PETER KING. Please stop pretending this isn't the case. I too think he's been a complete buffoon when it comes to the Estrella Incident, obsessed, uninformed, a complete LOSER. But the guy has a loooong history of total ASS-KISSING of all things Patriot.

Let's get real.

Not sure if you heard the WEEI interview or not, but HE actually said he's always been a big Bill Belichick fan. Speculation is he thought he'd get an exclusive interview with him over videogate but never did, thus a vendetta of sorts...

At this point, who cares?
