"Our patch work oline including a back up DT playing guard that only gave up 3 sacks last night, and our secondary compiled of free agent no names and undrafted players that stopped Tom Brady from a game winning drive have done an incredible job but let's not give them any credit at all and continue to find things to complain about instead of enjoying the success and giving our teammates props."

Get. The. Fug. Out. Of. My. Thread.

I was more just commenting on the fact that we can't rely on scheming over talent forever, but whatever. I'm plenty happy with our team, but not particularly thrilled about forcing Brady to punt only once (I think), seeing our RBs dance in the backfield every play with nowhere to go against one of the worst run D's in the NFL, and giving up something like the second highest completion percentage in the league.

First of all, it's Tom Brady. Arguably the best QB of all time. Not only did we hold him to 3 points in the first half, but we kept him from scoring on the final drive which is where he is best. The 17 points scored by the Pats in the 2nd half also came when Charles Johnson as off the field, our best pass rusher.

Second of all, there is a guy named Ben Hartsock (who I'm sure you've never heard of) that was not active last night. He is our #2 TE and a HUGE part of our blocking and running game.

And even though our running backs didn't seem like they did a whole lot, they still combined for 103 yards which is fine by me.

You're gonna lose this argument every day of the week. We won, we are playing well. Enjoy it and get out of my thread, this one is for Robert Lester.

Gettleman is a GENIUS MAGICIAN!

 

How in the hell did a first time GM end up with 5 rookie defensive players (3 drafted / 2 undrafted) in one damn single draft? [star, Short, Klein, White, Lester]

 

and that all five are big contributors to this nasty DEFENSE. Plus all have seen times being on the field all together.

 

Is there an award for best GM of the Year?

Our RBs did not combine for 103 yds, our RBs and QB did. Our RBs had 2.5 ypc and 40(ish) yards...not good. Cam Newton won that game by keeping drives alive. Brady marched down the field at will against our D on all but one drive. Failed to come up with more points in the first half bc our D forced a Ridley fumble. Cam Newton won that game by limiting NEs drives and answering Tom Brady. Sure, Brady's a great, but I still would like a defense that can get more stops. I don't see what argument there is to lose, I just pointed out that we still need help on oline and at cb which is pretty much universally agreed upon. It was in response to previous posts in "your thread" so stop getting your panties in a bunch about this "my thread" crap.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Witnessing and FEELING the NFL bend us over and grab our ankles in Super Bowl 50 in real-time…  that was the turning point for me.  I have not viewed the NFL, or pro sports for that matter, the same, ever since.  Look at the NBA.  You’re talking about astronomical odds for the #1 pick on the teams in the back-end of it.  The Mavericks mysteriously and inexplicably out of nowhere trade their franchise players - one of the biggest stars in the league, and an international superstar…  and of all places, to the LA Lakers, with LeBron.  They get back an oft-injured Anthony Davis.  Their team, including Davis, end up getting injured to the point they barely have enough healthy players to play games as the year goes on.  Their GM takes a ton of heat and never really offers a reasonable, not plausible explanation as to why they did the trade in the first place.  He also states that they never took any calls from any other teams, they never fielded any other offers for Luka, and they didn’t even take the offer elsewhere to see what other teams offered.  Absolutely no due diligence.  Now ask yourself, why would a team do that?  Not just in sports, why would any business do such a thing?  Not maximizing your return?  Not doing due diligence?  Fast forward a couple months…  the GM has been lambasted, ridiculed, and belittled the entire time since.  The lottery comes around, and the Mavs, who were just in the NBA Finals the year before, barely miss the playoffs due to all of their injuries.  Davis, Kyrie Irving, etc., all their best players were injured.  They had the smallest mathematical chance at getting the #1 pick.  Guess who got the #1 pick? The Mavericks.  So this plays out like the NBA asked the Mavs to do them a solid.  One of their blue-blood, prestigious, big market franchises needed a bump with LeBron getting older.  LA throws together a garbage package, sending them an aging star and some garbage picks for one of the biggest stars and historically one of the most incredible offensive players in NBA history, and the NBA ensures the Mavs will beat powerball odds and get the #1 pick, when it just so happens that Cooper Flagg, projected to be a generational talent, is coming out in the draft.  You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours. Also, who got the #2 pick?  The Spurs.  A year after obtaining the #1 pick to acquire another touted generational talent in Wembanyama, after a 20+ year run as one of the most successful NBA dynasties in history.  They suddenly have their first bad year, get the #1 pick ahead of us, the Hornets (after wallowing in mediocrity for decades), and get Wemby, and now get the #2 pick the following year.     There was talk here earlier in the offseason about things lining up for us to go to the Super Bowl this year, and at the time, I half jokingly said I could see it, as the patsy for Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson’s redemption arc.  Again, after all of the poo that happened in Super Bowl 50, then watching the refs stand by idly over the next two years while week after week our opponents took cheap shot after illegal cheap shot on our once-in-a-lifetime talent in Cam Newton…  that poo took a lot of the heart out of it for me.  I’ve said for years, if big money involved, corruption is inherent.  There’s no way around it.  I’ve accepted that every professional sport is influenced by the money.  And storylines bring big money.  It has become purely entertainment with a small pinch of competition.  At least the WWE tells you exactly what they are, and thus, you can enjoy it for what it is.  The NFL and NBA specifically, specialize in crushing the hearts of fans who believe it’s still real and untainted.  fug Goodell and Silver.
