It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think Welker would have been a clear upgrade over Austin Collie and Aaron Dobson.Let's just put that aside because that argument is irrelevant to my initial argument. You think Welker would've helped the Pats take out the Broncos in 2013?
He never played with Manning. F**cking hell man at least if you are gonna do your "$h1t on BB" routine at least be right about what you are talking about. He went to Denver because McDaniels sold him on having a bigger role than he had in NE behind Moss & Welker.
But by all means continue spewing $h1t without actual facts
GronkBefore anyone ever tries to use the injury excuse for the Pats in 2013 the two best defensive players on the Broncos tore their ACLs that same year.
Gronk
Mayo
Vollmer
Wilfork
All on IR
So....
OK, but that's not what you'd posted. And going with "But the Broncos lost these two guys on defense", when the Patriots lost Wilfork and Mayo on defense AND lost Talib in the AFCCG, even ignoring the losses of Gronk and Vollmer on offense, was a bad way to try to make that point.The point is that the Pats were inferior to the Broncos that season even if both teams get all their starters back.
The Pats were DECIMATED that year. Went into that game thinking they didn’t have a chance.Before anyone ever tries to use the injury excuse for the Pats in 2013 the two best defensive players on the Broncos tore their ACLs that same year.
I just went back in time and can't believe the Ravens were 13-3 that year. I thought it was a typo so I checked another source. I can't remember that team at all.Getting rid of branch probably cost the Pats the title in 06. He would have made a difference.
I can't remember their record but I remember they hosted the Colts in the division round.I just went back in time and can't believe the Ravens were 13-3 that year. I thought it was a typo so I checked another source. I can't remember that team at all.
I just looked at their stats and still can't remember anything about that team that stood out.I can't remember their record but I remember they hosted the Colts in the division round.
Vinateri kicked 5 FGs and Colts won 15-0. Fivehead had himself quite the MVP game with a 39 passer rating lol
Without looking isn't that the team with McNair? If so he was beyond awful in that Colts game. If memory serves me correctly Reed had 3 ints that game too.I just looked at their stats and still can't remember anything about that team that stood out.
I thought the Chargers, Colts and Pats were the top 3 seeds. Crazy.
Agreed. Bogus DPI call against Hobbs in the end zone when defending Wayne, and the league apologized for it after the fact.To be fair, the 10 year drought also never happens if the officials don't steal the 2006 AFCCG from the Patriots, or the officials call any of about a half dozen obvious penalties against the Giants on the helmet catch play.
Bucs currently have no cap space, not including Suh or Fournette. They only have about 57 under contract. Although they only need about $2M for the draft, they're still short a couple dozen players. I suppose they're working on several restructures?
Exactly. I was there. They had no shot.The Pats were DECIMATED that year. Went into that game thinking they didn’t have a chance.
They looked good until Wed Welker knocked Talib out of the game.Exactly. I was there. They had no shot.
I remember Simms annoyingly quoted “face guarding”, but I thought the ref quoted “face guarding” as well in his explanation. I guess not. Hobbs had perfect coverage. That’s got to be rough on players.Agreed. Bogus DPI call against Hobbs in the end zone when defending Wayne, and the league apologized for it after the fact.
League official admits: a bad call was made
Rewind to the third quarter of last Sunday’s AFC Championship game, when Patriots cornerback Ellis Hobbs was flagged for pass interference.www.patriots.com
And of course there was Mike Carey swallowing the whistle when Eli was in the grasp...
Former NFL ref admitted he nearly made a call that would have changed Patriots’ Super Bowl history
It nearly never happened.fanbuzz.com
not to mention Shaun O’Hara choking Seymour’s trachea “as hard as he could” which allowed Eli to break free of the grasp that should’ve already been whistled dead.
Giants Shaun O’Hara confirms he choked Richard Seymour on Eli Manning’s Super Bowl scramble
Ten years after the game, the New York Giants center admits that on the famous "Helmet Catch" play, he was choking Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour.www.patspulpit.com
