    that gronkowski "hit"...
    1 game is laughable.  it was the dirtiest and most cowardly thing i have seen someone do in pro sports. 
    Dirtier than Marty McSorley hitting Donald Brashear in the head with his stick? I don't think so.


    Hmmm.... And what do McSorley (at the time of the incident) and Gronk have in common, I wonder? 

    You really should move back to Brooklyn. ;)
    learn classy Rangers traditions such as the "Potvin sucks!" chant, "#om@ Larry!" and interrupting the national anthem with "LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!"

    Don't forget "Drive a Porsche Hextall, drive a Porsche" 
    Wasn't it "beat your wife Potvin, beat your wife"?
    The Hextall one was after drunk-ass Lindberg crashed his Porsche.

    The Potvin one now is just Potvin sucks, since that piece of shit wife beater no longer plays.

    Fuck the Fishsticks!

    That was some bush league nonsense by the Seahawks at the end of that game yesterday.  Michael Bennett is a complete piece of trash.  But that's pretty much what you should expect from a Pete Carroll team.

  • So yah... the Pats looked very average to slightly below average last night.

    I've never seen so many sideline spazzouts which resulted in no changes.

    Their arrogance lost them that game. Miami is a shitty team. I can't help but feel the Pats had the Steelers on their mind and they looked past the Fins.

    With that said... they were really soft on defence. And their offence looked like they were playing underwater.

    First time since Ten was the only Pearl Jam album in existence that the Patriots didn't convert a single 3rd down.
  • Its a game they can afford to lose. They purposely played soft so as not to tip their hand offensively or defensively to the Steelers, a much more important game with more tangible benefits to winning. Bill treated this game as a practice with pads. Why risk injuries and show your playbook for a meaningless game? They still go 12-4 and make the playoffs if they lose next week. And home field in the playoffs hasn't always been kind to them.

    You do realize the Pats are only 1 game up on the Jags? I haven't figured out any tie breakers but if the Pats lose to the Steelers they may lose the bye game now as well. I would say that is something very real to play for. 

    BTW, Garappolo has a 100% win percentage as a starter this season. Brady has a 77% win percentage. The Pats kept the wrong QB.

    Ahhh so Brady must have been throwing those picks on purpose last night then huh?  Funny how some Pats fans can't even entertain the notion that they just got beat.

    Doesn’t concern me. Playoffs are a completely different set of games/season. Both the bye week and home field don’t do much for them. A combination of complacency and too much rest. Their play calling last night was ultra conservative and they played without a sense of urgency. And they lost by 7. Get totally blown out next week, I might have concerns. You know Bill’s already in Tomlin’s head.

    So Tom had a bad day in a stadium or against a team where he’s traditionally has a bad day. Those two picks were under thrown and pretty awesome defense plays were made as well. I just don’t think the Pats’ game in with a game plan and mindset to win 37-3. They’re saving it for next week. Remind me again what Tom’s TD to INT ratio is again, season and career. I said at the start of the season they’d go 12-4, hardly indicative of not admitting they can be beat or lose.

    Montana is the GOAT. Brady wouldn’t be nearly as good in that era.

    Its a game they can afford to lose. They purposely played soft so as not to tip their hand offensively or defensively to the Steelers, a much more important game with more tangible benefits to winning. Bill treated this game as a practice with pads. Why risk injuries and show your playbook for a meaningless game? They still go 12-4 and make the playoffs if they lose next week. And home field in the playoffs hasn't always been kind to them.
    Ahhh so Brady must have been throwing those picks on purpose last night then huh?  Funny how SOME Pats fans can't even entertain the notion that they just got beat.  
    Ummmm not some, ALL.
    So Tom had a bad day in a stadium or against a team where he’s traditionally has a bad day. Those two picks were under thrown and pretty awesome defense plays were made as well. I just don’t think the Pats’ game in with a game plan and mindset to win 37-3. They’re saving it for next week. Remind me again what Tom’s TD to INT ratio is again, season and career. I said at the start of the season they’d go 12-4, hardly indicative of not admitting they can be beat or lose.
    Just feel obligated to point out that Rodgers has a much better TD-INT ratio.

    Not even close really, 4.13 to 3.06. Hey though, Brady was 1/53rd of 5 super bowl teams!

    Tom Brady is a system QB
    Correction. Tom Brady is the GOAT
    Has there ever been an unsuccessful QB in that system? I think not

    Speak of the devil, Aaron Rodgers just announced that he is cleared to play in Carolina Sunday!
