Post Game Thread...The Pats are going to the Super Bowl!!!!!!

Jeff Howe? @jeffphowe
Tom Brady will play in his 12th AFC Championship in 16 full seasons as a starter (75%). Kurt Warner has the highest completion percentage among Hall of Fame QBs (65.5%). Tom Brady has a better chance of reaching an AFC title game than a Hall of Famer has of completing a pass.

I can't stop smiling.

Before the game last night so many jags fans were talking **** to me in that nfl chat I mentioned before. Never doubt the goat!

To everyone who said that the game was going to be easy, please sit down so the people who said it was going to be tough can celebrate. NEVER underestimate your opponent..

That being said, WOOO... Pats are back to the SuperBowl, BABY!!!!!! 8th time in 16 year!!!!!!

So you knew Gronk would take a head shot and miss half the game???

Don't get ****y and tell people who had more confidence in the Pats than you to "take a seat".

After Lewis' fumble I honestly thought we were toast. Was talking to my Mom on the phone and I said "that's the nail in the coffin" and that it was a "fatal error." But Jacksonville played so conservative and New England , what can you say, I'll never learn. How many times I thought they were done, and they just keep finding a way to sprinkle magic over themselves and pull out the W in the end. It's truly incredible, Brady may be the greatest clutch athlete to ever play North American professional sports. It's close between him and Michael Jordan. No Gronk, No Edelman, banged up offensive line...and Danny freaking Amendola steps up and makes a phenomenal play on the 3rd and 18 and makes what'll be one of the most famous catches in Gillette Stadium and Patriots history in the back of the end zone. Small guys have big hearts!!!! I love this team! Let's go Pats we're going for 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We should've kept Blount. He's not great, but he's good enough. We basically now have 3 pretty good passing backs and no traditional backs.

Blount was being vintage Blount on Philly's second td. Off tackle for a 13 yard score bulldozing people.

I watched the game at a bar called The Spot in Galveston. Unfortunately, it was a very pro Jacksonville crowd, albeit not passionately. One of the only other people cheering for the good guys turned out to be a Jet fan sitting next to me.

The Jaguars are a tough team and Bortles did well playing within his abilities. I was impressed. The Pats also dropped a lot of opportunities.

Watched the game w the wife and kids...i had to pop a bunch of aspirin and took an extra lipitor during the game...just amazing how good they are... GO PATS

 

[sieglo]

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until Tom Brady decides it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Was it over st 28-3? Was it over when Mark Wahlberg walked out in the third quarter? Hell no!

No

I wanted Blount back, but Lewis is more than just a passing back.

Offensive Line. Defensive line. Mostly outstanding in the second half. But they “suck,” blah, blah, blah.

If the lines had played better in the first half, they might not have needed to be "Mostly outstanding" in the second half.

 

[PScottman]

it is recognizing how our coaching staff works to allow the chance to make plays early to set up taking it away late

Don't disagree at all. I'm just more on the side that the Pats switched up scheme and stepped up execution on the field more than Bortles declined precipitously in play.

Of that low percentage last quarter how much was throws being missed (wide, high whatever) versus Pats defenders PBUs? If it's the former...then you're correct and Bortles wasn't as accurate. If the latter - better play (calling and execution) by the good guys.

Either way we're arguing when we probably should be just celebrating.

Rob Gronkowski is in the concussion protocol. There’s optimism Gronk will be cleared by the Super Bowl, according to a source

 

[farn]

Who here had Brady - Foles 2018 ?

I had no problem with the Church hit when it happened and I admire and respect his professionalism and well though out comments.
