Why Tom Brady is a complete and utter d-bag and the Pats have no class

[Daseal]

I didn't feel like the best team won yesterday...

If the best team won every week, football would be boring.

Stop contradicting me dammit. LOL.

I love to watch fans get ticked off at other teams and try to find stuff to bash them for. Yes the Pats do deserve some of this but I still find it funny and find myself cheering for them because I know how much it ticks people off.

My bad guess I never noticed that

I don't think it's fair to expect Brady or Belichick to bring up Taylor during a post game press conference when they're being asked questions about the game. I'm no fan of either - you would swear that they invented the forward pass with how arrogant they are.

BTW, I've been bitching about another thing all year, and I saw it go uncalled AGAIN last night. On the pass that Moss dropped for a potential TD, he gave the CB a subtle shove just before the ball arrived. Every time Moss fails to get separation, his hands are on opposing DB's, yet he's almost never called for offensive pass interference.

As far as the Pats kickoff from the Ravens 35...I'm honestly surprised that they didn't try an onside kick. If they don't recover, the Ravens get the ball around their own 25, which is 5 more yards than Gostkowski's kick into the stands. If they do recover, the game is definitely over, as the Ravens only had 1 timeout left and Brady would kneel 3 times to end the game.

Or throw 3 times into the endzone to run up the score.

Kickoff

1. In addition to a kickoff, the other free kick is a kick after a safety (safety kick). A punt may be used (a punt may not be used on a kickoff).
2. On a safety kick, the team scored upon puts ball in play by a punt, dropkick, or placekick without tee. No score can be made on a free kick following a safety, even if a series of penalties places team in position. (A field goal can be scored only on a play from scrimmage or a free kick after a fair catch.)
3. A kickoff may not score a field goal.
4. A kickoff is illegal unless it travels 10 yards OR is touched by the receiving team. Once the ball is touched by the receiving team or has gone 10 yards, it is a free ball. Receivers may recover and advance. Kicking team may recover but NOT advance UNLESS receiver had possession and lost the ball.
5. When a kickoff goes out of bounds between the goal lines without being touched by the receiving team, the ball belongs to the receivers 30 yards from the spot of the kick or at the out-of-bounds spot unless the ball went out-of-bounds the first time an onside kick was attempted. In this case, the kicking team is penalized five yards and the ball must be kicked again.
6. When a kickoff goes out of bounds between the goal lines and is touched last by receiving team, it is receiver’s ball at out-of-bounds spot.
7. If the kicking team either illegally kicks off out of bounds or is guilty of a short free kick on two or more consecutive onside kicks, receivers may take possession of the ball at the dead ball spot, out-of-bounds spot, or spot of illegal touch.

sounds like the ravens would have gotten the ball wherever it went out of bounds if new england chose that strategy...

I guess the answer would have been to ask the ref before the kickoff "Where will the Raven's get the ball if our kicker kicks it out of bounds?"

If the answer was "wherever it goes out of bounds as long as it goes 10 yards" I would have told my kicker to kick it into the stands out of bounds anywhere inside the 20 and get it to go out as close to the 1 yard line as you can.

I think if the Giants catch a windy one in the last game, they could beat New England. Bad weather sort of puts offense right back to the stone age.

[12thMan]

Let's face it, when they get to the playoffs anything can happen.

Just ask San Diego.

No offense...but what is this thread about. The Pats don't have to mention anything about ST after the game. It doesn't offend me.

I don't think any one of us would be complaining about Tom Brady if he was a redskin. The guy is good.

I gotta agree with you here. Unless I missed something and Brady was specifically asked about Taylor and chose not to answer, then I don't see what the big deal is.

[prinzeofmoval]

is it me or do people not notice how to stop brady?okay when they blitz and brought pressure brady was like the go to girl in high school....(always on his back)..then within the last five minutes they just stop blitzing?look if you asked mccallister and rolle could they handle moss and stallworth single coverage while we bring hell fire to brady? they'll say heck yeah..so pittsburgh i think will take them out

Bottom line: 12-0. I'd like to be 12-0. I might even be a little arrogant if I was. Stop all the whining. And to bring up Sean Taylor out of the blue would have been weird. The Pats are just playing football. Getting away with what they can (like any other team) and going for stats and records. Big deal. They don't care if opposing fans, like us, appreciate them. THEIR fans love them and that's all that matters. Kinda like us Redskin fans. Everyone at the bar I go to hates us, cause we sing and are usually the largest and loudest group. We don't give a shit what they think. It's all the same crap. I just don't care that much about the Pats and the surrounding drama.
