But something dawned on me during this last rewatch. I don't need to post a video. I don't need any feedback. Because I've already seen the problem and I know what the answer is. It's Hightower, McCourty, BB, and MP.
This team is stocked with Super Bowl winning leaders. There is no way that they let this **** show continue.
So sorry Tampa but General Hightower , Colonel McCourty and the rest of the crew are about to wreck your freaking day.

We've seen this movie before. And it ends well.

Every week after a game I like to look at the all-22 to see what went right and what went wrong. Afterwards I've enjoyed posting screenshots or game film and reading the feedback from the numerous knowledgeable posters and learning from their input
But Tony, but I REALLY liked the screenshots you put together and looked forward to your comments and the comments that people made from those screenshots.
Sorry, but you have made the critical mistake of doing good work and now we have come to expect it EVERY week. Don't disappoint us again.
OK. I accept your hypothesis; "no way" it continues. So, what's a reasonable explanation for how "this **** show" happened in the first place with what we all acknowledge are "Super Bowl winning leaders?"
Opening day. Long hangover. Human nature. Too many great headlines for even a seasoned crew. Too many guys believed what they read. I get that. That loss actually didn't bother me...I didn't like it, but it didn't have me worried. Reid teams tend to start strong before the inevitable late season or playoff flop.
But what's the explanation for how they've given up 128 points in four games? Real question.
I feel like my posts have devolved into reposting the same three or four points over and over again, typically followed by a lot of insults directed at me. But one of those oft-repeated points is that I think this board and the NFL generally completely underestimates the extraordinary and unique nature of the 2016 team. I don't know of another team ever with the courage, the intelligence and the heart of the 2016 team. And I don't think there has ever been a game like SBLI in which all those characteristics fused into surreal apotheosis.
Comparing that team, with its glorious clockwork complex plays, on offense and defense, to the 2017 team is just poignant.
I felt that way at the half in SBLI I admit. So if you want to say I'm wrong sometimes, I was definitely wrong then.Did you feel the same way when they benched Brady in game 4 of the 2014 season? I didn't. Because I knew it was week 4.
