I think Marcus Peters is wildly overrated

I think you can get easily in his head and make him combust.

Agreed. He really had a bad year. Tom has been pretty successful against wade. I think the rams have used a lot of zone especially since talib came back.

Wade Phillips defenses beat the patriots once in the AFC championship. And that was a defense that was historically great. One of the best of all time and they were home, and we were banged up.

My point is that this rams D is no where close to that, and if line stops suh Donald and brockers, it’s going to be a long night for the rams

Suh could be the key. He played uncharacteristically sound, focused, unselfish in the last 2 games and that translated in their run D improvement.

Id guess this ends vs Pats and the NE/BB/TB itch will get him to be his i-rushing self . esp. since its the last and biggest window to show himself for next contract..

But he is able to do this all presnap which means there are keys that he saw during his prep work for the game as an announcer.

I mean look at this:



He tells you the entire play (including the motion) just by tendencies from checking. How the KC defense is not prepared for that on the same level as the CBS color guy only Sutton knows.

Again, Romo's doing it with the vantage point of seeing things from over-head, not the sidelines. And Romo is doing it after the speaker to whomever has the green dot get's shut off. Put Romo on the sidelines and see if he get's the same cues. Bet he doesn't even come close.

Bingo. Cupp was/is the lynchpin of that offense. He is the Edelman for the Rams. It was a huge loss when he went down. Huge.

Before Cupp 34ppg

Immediately after KC game w/o Cupp: 35

After KC game w/o Cupp (not including KC game) 28ppg

I'm legitimately the worst when it comes to predicting Pats games. Didn't love our chances in KC, and of course they proved me wrong. Thought we'd destroy the Eagles in SB52, we all know how that played out.

Right now, I just think we're better than the Rams and that we're gonna win the damn thing ... but I'm going to say nojinx before this messed up voodoo **** loses us another SB ...

I’m just astounded with the way the OL has been playing. They often go overlooked, but deserve a TONNNNN of credit. Fat guys need love too

I see alot of a younger brady in Jared Goff.
Brady- 6'4 225
Goff 6'4 222
both from Southern California
Brady is a 6th round pick. Goff was the first overall pick.

Brady in his first super bowl year in regular season

63.9% completion pct 18 td 12 int
Goff in his first super bowl year in reg season
64.9% completion pct 32 td 12 int
Brady's postseason numbers
61.9% completion pct 572 yards 1 td 1 int
Goff's postseason numbers
58.8% completion pct 483 yards 1 td 1 int.

Just rewatched and the roughing the passer penalty against KC was legit. GIF of where his forearm was pushing up against Brady's facemask and moves helmet

To be fair, Romo had the advantage of seeing it from Above. If they allowed DCs to be at the same vantage point to call defenses, I'm sure things would be different.

Coaches have that option. You've seen DC Mike Nolan up in the box. You've seen OC Kyle Shanahan up in the box.

Wow someone was using a laser against Brady

Apologies if already posted.

According to Peter King:

NE installed 8 new plays in the hotel lobby yesterday morning. They used 5 of them in OT. All 5 worked.

Happy we never have to hear about the Miami Miracle garbage again since it ended up not mattering for us and meant worse drafting position for Miami.

First thing I said to my wife after the win was that they overcame that Miami f’up and are back to where they would be otherwise. Same thing with the Miami f’up in 2004 (Brady blindly throwing an INT from his butt), although they would have needed another Steeler loss to have gotten home field.

Hope the result of the Super Bowl is the same.

Classy move by BB showing a little more respect then usual to the Lamar Hunt trophy.
