19-0 would be great. There'd also be a certain amount of joy to go 18-1 and win the superbowl and take the black mark off that record the last time we achieved it. But really all I want is a SB win with any record this year, so no 19-0 as cool as it would be is not a remote concern in my mind...

I don't necessarily think that was the right pass to throw, the point is the whole "just run it" wasn't necessarily the answer either. A pass had to be thrown. And that pass is relatively harmless if it doesn't hit, no real time off the clock, no chance of a sack, keeps the clock stopped, run...

Ok, I shut it off after it advanced in the game and didn't catch that replay. Yes, and I'd have no problem with that being called not a catch today. The biggest difference is that this happened 10-15 years before the rule "clarification" that has resulted on so many catches being called back...

It's nice that some still think that Lynch just walks that play in even though last year's stats suggested it was anything but a gimme. They were going to have to pass one time to insure 3 plays with one time out and that was likely the correct down and package to do it with.

No closeup but it looks like he takes 3 or 4 steps before it gets wrestled out, which seems quite a bit different than a swat while the player is in the air. I just don't even see the controversy here, there are so many catches that have been overturned the past few years where there were...

All the blatantly obvious unquestionable "that's a catch" catches that have been overturned the past 5 years or so since the rule clarification was issued and they want to argue that?

He actually said "How many times have we seen this, under 2 minutes down 8..." I don't know Rodgers's record down 8 under 2 minutes (I suspect not good), but he has never come back from down 9 in the second half EVER.

For the record, I spent Sunday in Vancouver, BC supporting the Portland Timbers (soccer) vs. the home team. We had signs, including one I helped to hang in the back row of the stadium. I think fans should be able to do whatever they want to support their team, home and away. And it's somewhat...

We're not getting the picks back. But I still maintain if there is any chance to do so, it would best be pursued at the end of the season when the results are in on a full season of monitoring ball pressures. No lab testing hypothetical BS, just real world results from a full season of play...

Just to be clear, I accept the picks are gone, we got screwed and it's BS. But, if Brady gets a favorable ruling AND all the data next year comes through showing nothing happened Kraft could turn around and demand the picks back and an apology. He probably will get neither but public opinion...

I'd like to believe that this goes full bore resulting in Brady's name being cleared and after that happens the NFL is forced to reconsider the penalties on the Pats because no crime was committed.

It's not just sports. Internet plus 500 cable channels so everyone under the sun has a voice certainly does not help one bit. Also for Boston sports fans, this all coincided with a pretty unprecedented run of success. Being a Pats and Sox fan was like being a Cubs and Cardinals (football) fan.

Carroll explained all of this 5 minutes after the game but because he used the word choice "wasted play" the media harped on those two words for a week. And that's without even understanding that the concept of wasting a play was that if they passed on one of the three remaining downs they get...

It's because Train wanted too much money for Drops of Jupiter.

If he calls time out, Seattle subs their goal line package in and runs in for the score. They can also run on all 3 remaining downs. No time out, Seattle is forced to pass if they want 3 plays or settle for 2 runs. Brady had ~1 minute in the last two games vs. the Giants and we already saw how...

I felt pretty certain the Seahawks were feeding the crowd back through the PA when I went to see the Pats play there in 2012. The week before I had been at the Clink for the Timbers/Sounders match and the "amazing" Seattle Sounders crowd was barely audible. I was taking my son to his first NFL...

I refused to predict the game. After the Giants games, I just said no predictions, and I did pretty solid picking the games ahead of the SB. That said, I was confident we would pull this out because it felt more like the years we won than the last two. Loads of hype for the other team, it was...

I will agree that Red Sox games are like home games in Seattle AND that I was treated nicely as a visiting Pats fan in the Seahawks "family" section. But they're also a bunch of fairweather bandwagon fans and that's why the Mariners are currently embarrassing MLB and the Sonics are in OKC.

Honestly I enjoyed seeing Manning get his butt handed to him last year and Manning face never gets old, but honestly I just stopped caring about comparing them at that point. I actually have more respect for Manning than I ever did because with the Broncs it seems like he has the maturity to...

I feel like BB is the best ever so in that regard nobody is his equal. If you go back to his DC work under Parcels and writing the gameplan to shut down the Bills to shutting down the greatest show on turf to an unprecedented 15 year run of excellence in the salary cap era, to reinventing...
