What if Brady hadn't thrown the first SB pick?

Not only do they win, they blow out the Seahawks.

I don't remember ever seeing a hit cause a major arm injury and a major leg injury at the same time. Pretty incredible. That's car accident type stuff. Keep your head on a swivel when Edelman is around.

Yeah, Lane's arm was f&cked up on that play. His forearm snapped in half.

Screw what-ifs.. the Pats are champs, baby!

He CHEATS!!!

I didn't notice the leg injury, I did notice his forearm finding in half though.

Lane probably didn't notice the torn ACL either as he was busy stuffing his arm bone back inside his body.

Avril also got injured on a Brady pick, and that was huge.

But I feel no sympathy for Seattle. Media were openly and gleefully speculating that chancellor would take out Gronk and the Pats would be screwed. That it turned out the opposite seems right -- and Edelman taking Chancellor's best shot and coming through makes it sweeter.

According to the competition committee, Edelman was concussed. Hence the ability of docs to call a timeout to evaluate a player this year.

If ya can't beat em, cheat em.

What if Mevis didn't give up that touchdown?

What if Mevis didn't get burned by Smith in the Ravens game?

Anyways the Super Bowl ended perfectly. I went from a extreme high after the Edelman touchdown to an extreme low with 20 seconds left in the game and the Hawks on the 1 yard line to and extreme high after the Butler interception. What an emotional roller coaster ride that was.

I want you guys to know that I made this happen and you should thank me. I had to turn off the set and not watch or Butler's interception never would have happened. Luckily when I turned it back on a few seconds later I was rewarded for my efforts, as painful as it was to have to do.

Hmm, guess the Russell Wilson rule wasn't enacted in time for the super bowl.

Hahaha. That is a classic.

Lane isn't that good, so I think the Pats would've been better off with the points and Lane staying in.

Meanwhile, if Arrington gets pulled off of Matthews sooner, there's a good chance the Pats win by 2 TDs.

Edelman was unquestionably concussed on the final offensive drive and the fact he remained in the game was objectively barbaric. Subjectively, it was important since he caught the winning touchdown, but he should not have been in that situation. The Patriots could and should not have been relied upon to be objective about his health in that moment. A doctor should have removed him from the game. It's water under the bridge now but a good rule change.

We would have scored a td there leaving the score 35-24

Yeah, it will be wonderful next year when Mike Kensil assigns some flunkie MD from the New Jersey School of Medicine to decide if Tom Brady or Gronk should stay in the game on a crucial 3rd down play.

How do you know Edelman was unquestionably concussed?

Yeah the whole Edelman/concussion controversy is a joke. Watch the mic'd up, watch him play after that play. Dude was 100 percent fine. Hell watch that hit in slow motion, his shoulder took most of the impact. if anything chancellors head took a must of the impact. But no one complains about him staying in the game.

if its not an int its a TD, that TD puts us well ahead and takes ALL of the momentum away from seattle.

Unquestionably? Unquestionably not concussed. This was another media driven anti-Pats thing which was leaked out by some NFL stooge that was mad the Pats won and to implement this thing that now if a player takes a shot to the head an NFL stooge can remove him from the game.

Yep that's all this thing was some bullsh*t leaked to the media by an NFL stooge so the NFL now can have their doctors withhold players from playing.
