Post Game Thread- Super Bowl Edition

[festy1986]

I agree with the 1st one but for some reason we had a consensus that they weren’t going to overturn it......I thought they should have but I don’t believe the pats deserved the win

They weren't gonna over turn them because the riots.

I'm not upset about those. The pats played like **** leading up to those tds anyway. I' upset about foles catching a td.

I' upset about not having a single stop since 10 minutes or so remaining in the second.

Im upset at cooks for trying to he too cute.

And at mcdaniels for not using a conventional offense until he ran through his bag of tricks.

It was a terrible plan and yet Brady almost bailed them out. It' ****ing ridiculous for anyone to expect Brady to score 29 second half points. Just to win by 1.

Probably because your analysis is lousy, and the offense was not complete trash in the first half.

The offense scored 12. And should have had another 4 if not for issues with the kicking game. So really 16, or 32 points over a full game. The offense then came out with 3 straight TD drives in the 2nd half.

This loss is on the defense. With an honorable mention to special teams.

 

[E1Downey]

Butler not playing was almost certainly the difference. If it comes out that he didn't play because of something stupid like missing a meeting...

Totally agree. In such a tight game with such a piss poor defensive performance, all that awful tackling included hokw could iit not have been the difference?

True, but the Patriots this year left a lot of points on the field in the first half. They need to improve there.

We have a star

Need a starting CB, Nickel CB, starting LB and a ton of LB depth in free agency & the draft.

We had a starting CB. A really good one. Our genius head coach benched him and gave up 40 to a garbage QB. His ego is more important than winning. Always has been. Brady deserves better.

 

[Deus Irae]

I am actually surprised you're surprised. This D has been awful all year. Any halfway decent QB was going to have a field day against them.

The defense was not awful all year. Hyperbole about how bad the defense was is not any better than hyperbole about how good it was.

This was a defense on par with the 2011 defense, give or take a little. Neither were SB quality, but but both had the advantage of BB and TB to (almost) overcome the mediocrity.

 

[Big-T]

You can't tell me that Elandon Roberts was a better choice against Philly than David Harris as well.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

My comparison is completely fine. Point is that if you do something that goes against the team rules whether it is being late to a practice, missing a flight or whatsoever there will be discipline. And it doesn't matter if we are playing the Browns or the friggin SB.

Again rules are rules and if Butler broke one he got his consequences.

And finally Richards had nothing to do with Butler. Nothing. He would have played his snaps either way. Rowe had an ok game except for his uncanny ability to misjudge jump balls.

If you want to make the argument that Butler makes the tackle that Bademosi missed.. be my guest.. that is a maybe.. but who knows what coverage we run if Butler were on field and if he ends up on the same Eagle player / if the Eagles run the same play..

The guy's gone after the season. Bill outsmarted himself tonight. Either way the game was entertaining thanks to brady.

Also for the record Brady's 2 leading receivers were UDFAs

Mike Reiss?Verified account @MikeReiss
Just caught up with a very emotional Malcolm Butler, alongside Adam Schefter. "They gave up on me. F—. It is what it is," Butler told us.

He better have been caught giving the Eagles the gameplan or something.

 

[festy1986]

If that is the truth then bill has lost his ****ing mind.

Becsude at what point during that game did he not realize that the defense wasn't getting it done?

This can't be it.

 

[crafty213]

The loss is on Bill for handicapping the defense. His ego got the best of him.

 

[slash83]

Retire Bill, you’ve gone full stupid. Did Butler dirty, did the entire organization dirty. This was on you bill, you ****ed the team good today. Wouldn’t be sad to see you go, not one bit.

David Harris was awful when he played this year.

 

[FCB02062]

So come next November, December, or January..there will come a time when an opposing coach has balls like pederson...and pats won3be able to make a play... Again... If I were Brady I'd ask for a trade or release because my coach is going to play Eric Rowe over a guy who won a Superbowl..lol... ThNks coach coconuts

Malcolm Butler:

League best defense this year when Gilmore was out and Butler was the #1 corner.

Offense scored enough tonight to win. The defense would have been much better with Butler tonight.

We lost the freaking SuperBowl because Malcolm Butler didn't play.

[UFGatorPat]

to be honest, I though clement had control..not enough to overturn

Yeah the illegal formation, pick play and crazy holding at times is much worse. I get holding isn’t going to be called every play but we go from a crap pass rush to no pass rush when held on the key plays. I’m sure we did our share too but the illegal formation and pick play still stand out.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

People blaming BB do not deserve to be Pats fans.

He made a bad decision, that happens. Eagles played great on O. Thst happens as well. Show some humility. We are not perfect. Be grateful.

 

[Big-T]

David Harris was awful when he played this year.

And awful is still better than Elandon Roberts.

 

[randomk1]

Bleh disgusted. This team is all Brady.
