Forgotten storyline:Kevin Williams chose Seahawks over Patriots

[Oswlek]

The second int wasn't toms fault, was a perfect play by Wagner. The first one was bad, but I believe he didn't see lane and didn't throw it away fearing an intentional grounding play. Don't blame him, since the heat was coming from both ways.

The first pick was 100% Tom's fault. Yes, there was some pressure, but it wasn't immediate and considering the field position, you simply can't toss it up due to panic. Just curl up and take the easy 3. Even worse, it had no chance of being caught even if Lane wasn't there and could have been intercepted by two other defenders. Tom not seeing Lane does nothing to defend the play, if anything it makes it worse.

As for the second, it was a great play by Wagner, but the throw was behind Gronk by about 10 feet. From the QB perspective, you can see Rob having to stop and lean back for the ball. Had it been led properly it may have been knocked down but it almost certainly would not have been picked.

I don't blame him. The Seahawks had a great chance to win too.

I said before and will say again if both teams were 100% healthy I think Seattle would have had the edge over the Pats.

Let me ask you this.. WHY on earth would you even say this?? Just.. Why? What would possess you to think of this?

The Patriots won. You're a Patriots fan, right? So... Why? Why can't you just let it be? Your team won..Right? The Pats are your team, right?

Does that include Ridley, Mayo, and Easley?

Once Lane went down, the coverage scheme collapsed. Once Avril went down, the Pats didn't even need 3rd down.

Dink and dunk was widely known as the way to score on them, healthy or not.

The Seahawks were lucky to even be playing the game.....it should have been the Packers

What possessed me to say this? IDK. Just came up.
What possessed me to think this? I think it is true.
Am I a Patriots fan? Yep, you bet.
Why can't i let it be? I made a comment kinda off hand and got I ton of responses... I generally like to respond to most of my responses. If someone took the time to say something about my post I like to respond in kind.
Did the Pats win? You bet your ass.

The health matter to me though is purely hypothetical of course and meaningless in a sense really. Football is a game when people get hurt. Just happens. I don't do excuses. Seahawks lost and the Pats were the better team at the end of the year. All that really matters to me.

Yes it includes Rildey and Mayo. Easley it does too but i have no idea what it means. We don't know how good he is yet so it is kind of meaningless to throw him in.

I agree dink and dunk is the way to go particularly vs their cover 3.

Luck is part of the game. The Pats have been lucky in the past too. Doesn't matter what you do before you get there. Winning is the only result that matters regardless of circumstances.
