Good posts. The similarity between '88 and '15 may also be indicative of the way the Rooneys do business. Once they deem a player has surpassed his ability to significantly contribute to the team, they terminate the player's contract or do not give them a new one. We just observed another example n...

Well, stickum was illegal during his playing career, so... It does make him look foolish/hypocritical, since he's been critical of Belichick and Brady and is now playing the same "everybody does/did it" card that NE defenders are. Not saying it makes it right, but as with NE, I don't think...

Quite a bit of HoF related stuff from Peter King's most recent MMQB column. An excerpt - "I marked an X next to Bettis, Haley, Seau and Shields. Now I was stuck. Dungy and Pace were worthy, in my mind. But as I winnowed, I found myself in a three-way mental tie for the fifth X: Brown, Greene an...

I still think running Lynch (or Wilson) is what should've happened, but I 've come around a little to thinking that running a pass play period in that situation isn't completely terrible. However, I still feel that running THAT pass play was terrible and indefensible. For all of Carroll's "it's...

I said earlier I would've still been breaking stuff if my team had been in the Seahawks position. On the flip side, I can only imagine the gauntlet of emotions NE fans went through. Elation after Brady engineered the go-ahead drive followed by feeling like throwing up after the Kearse catch (same bu...

From what I gather, Bevell was blaming Lockette after the game for not fighting hard enough for the ball. What nerve. I felt the play was slow in developing. Lockette was too slow on his break. Once the ball was in the air it was too late. As far as the timeouts go, it looked a little weird, but I ...

Big gamble, I wonder if thought process was run a rub route, hope rookie CB gets confused and Lockett is open, but rookie looked like he and 39 were in lock m/m and both played it perfectly. Maybe Belichick can teach coverage after all. Wilson hasn't shown to be that great on short slants. One reas...

From what I gather, Bevell was blaming Lockette after the game for not fighting hard enough for the ball. What nerve. Nobody should be fired over the one call. Carroll and Bevell have been a little more successful than Bob Gibson and John McVay were with the Giants. Has there ever been a more amazi...

It was one of the greatest games I've ever seen...no exaggeration...until the last minute took a lot of the gloss off of it with the clock running, the pass and then the embarrassing brawl. I'll give you the brawl, but otherwise I thought the final minute was exciting as hell. Belichick made a deci...
