None of us will have the correct answer because we cant read his mind. But watching the play I do not see the intent. Last year Wilfork was fined for hits. I do not think those hits we dirty either.
I am not a fan of Mangold/Jets to keep defending them. But, my thought on this is that if the ball carrier is dancing and running some one has to hit him. I think this is starting to happen more and more also. QBs waiting before they take a knee and players fighting along the side lines and then jumping out at the last moment. These situations could get ugly even if the intent is not bad.
Personally, I believe in being harsh toward people who don't realize or admit their errors, and gentle to those who do.
Thus, in Brady's position I'd be likely to yell at somebody who ran the wrong route, but I'd try to be supportive of somebody who simply dropped a pass.
congrats on the win.
brady showed himself in all his glory by putting balls right in his wr's hands left & right all night long in very tough conditions (2nd half).
nice play call on the early td as well ... you completely caught the jets D with their pants down on it.
both teams had wr's dropping balls left & right ... you guys definitely need your other pass catchers besides Edelman to get back ... i have to say that i am amazed to see Dobson getting praise from some of you ... i thought he was horrible ... Edelman had a very solid performance ... with several clutch 3rd down receptions to keep the chains moving.
this game was there for the taking ... unfortunately for me Geno showed his rookie-ness late in the game with a couple bad picks ... thought he played reasonably well though for most of the game though, considering it was only his 2nd start. the pick (i believe in 2nd quarter) when we were in fg range just can't happen though ... it took a fairly certain 3 points off the board ... which in the end was the difference in the game.
pats D made the plays they had to when it mattered.
congrats again.
He was correct, but it was a slap in the face to make them leave before doing one single snap and killing the final 38 seconds.
Make no mistake, it was a slap in the face - which is why I loved it
He'll throw to Gronk 30 times a game. Amendola returns? 2 man show. Vereen? He'll be locking in on 3 guys all game, and when a defense figures that out he'll crumble just like he has these past few years because there is no other receiving option on this team.
1) The rules are the rules. The zebras should have already enforced the rules so that BB would not have to make a big issue out of it.
2) Those two azzclowns already proved they are sore losers and can't control themselves, so why let them hang around for the post-game hand shakes and potentially strip up another poop storm?
3) And yes, it was gratifying and fitting that they had to take the walk of shame out of the stadium... and across the field of play no less. I loved it. I wish the fans had booed them louder though.
Anyone hear anything on Wilfork? Some are speculating that he's sick or something. I thought he was just getting bossed the whole game. He made a couple of nimble swim moves that made me think he wasn't hurt or ill.
No, just taking different things into account. Mangold is around 300 lbs and he's not what you'd call "fleet of foot". He sees Talib in bounds and goes to make a tackle. He launches at Talib's waist/thigh, Talib steps away and Mangold's momentum carries him forward. Gravity comes into play and the end result is Mangold hitting Talib in the back of the knee while out of bounds.
He might not have meant it to be a "back-of-the-knee" cheap shot, but it was intended to be an out-of-bounds cheap shot IMO.
yeah it was meant as a full on drive at the front of the knee hoping to cripple the guy.

When did Albert Breer become such a douche:

When he was hired by the douches at the Boston Globe. And then upped his douchiness when NFL.com hired him.
