It's crazy just how fast Brady's release is at 37 years old.

It doesn't work like that in football. It takes every single person to do their job right for things to work. Let's also not mention Sherm playing with 1 arm. Thomas having 1 shoulder and Kam having 1 leg. Or the fact that you are saying they should of made adjustments to a defense that has played damn near the exact same way for over 2 years.
I'm not sure I'm following you.
Are you saying that you guys lost because of injuries, on defense?
Cuz, Sherm never got thrown at, at all.
Kam had one leg?
Thomas shoulder I can buy, I guess.
Avril still played well into the second half.
Clearly Lane was missed.
But what are you wanting from this? Everyone to say that Tom only won because you guys were hurt, or what is the point here?

people remember him getting hurt, what am I supposed to do with that info though? Discount the win for SF and Joe's final drive?

I see what he's saying, but for yesterday's game it honestly did not matter if they fully healthy or not. It's not like New England chose to go after them since they were hurt. Pats gameplan was to quickly attack the soft spots in Seattle's zone and feed the ball to Gronk when he was single-covered. The plan called to avoid throwing to receivers Sherman covered and limit passing plays from Earl's range. Sherman and Earl were neutralized long before they even hit the field. They weren't allowed to make plays out of respect for their ability, not injuries.
It is a part of the game though. Just one of those things that luckily went our way this season, just like it did for Seattle last year, etc.
EDIT: Only speaking on Earl Thomas and Sherm. Lane & Avril injuries are obviously different.

DSK I've really liked some of your recent posts in here
Agreed.
Colinsworth pointed it out multiple times, every time they showed Wright on Gronk, it was an automatic throw to Gronk.
All the checkdowns to Vereen, just to keep the chains moving, like running plays sort of.
And as you said, we saw very little of Sherm or ET. Cuz Tom never looked at em. Nor did they ever plan to.
Lane I can hear and understand, but Avril? I didn't see him do a single thing the whole game til he got hurt. So I don't see that gripe at all.
Nor do I see any Pat fans upset that Mayo couldn't play and help their defense. *shrugs*

We lost because Wilson threw the INT
I was just stating losing your nickel CB and your starting gunner is going to impact the game. And idk how you don't see Avrils difference. Seattle had a decent pass rush until he got hurt. Than the line was double teaming Bennet all game. Something they couldn't do when Avril was lined up right next to him.
I mean your old *** could of made the same impact as Simon.

I dunno man, I said first thing this morning that Peter King pointed out Bill adjusted at half time, and that's what helped switch up the blocking on Bennett. Not Avril going out.
I'm going to re-watch the game tonight, try and find out exactly where and when Avril went down, and see what changed from that. Maybe Peter was reaching, or mis-remembered, I don't know.
My only point above all was they still had WAY more talent on the field than any other defense in the NFL. Including New England. And they didn't have their full roster of defenders either, so not sure why the fuss.
I'm EXTREMELY surprised what happened in the 4th quarter. Stunned, really. I honestly thought NE was tapped out at 14, and then they went nuts those last couple drives. But it's not like they ONLY attacked Simon all night, Brady spread it around like crazy, and kept the defense off balance. And really, he started that early in the game, and just had the 2 mistake throws that Seattle picked off.

Don't really see how Brady can't be considered the GOAT at this point. Most postseason yards, TD's, completions, 4 SB's, 3 SB MVP's and most importantly the SINGLE GREATEST quarter of football we will ever see from a QB.
Those two drives, against THAT defense, on that stage..... Absolutely amazing man. Hats off too dude, he deserves all the praise in the world for that.

There are a few arguments but it's tough to go against that sentiment

I know its not their thing but why didn't Seattle switch to more man coverage?

it's all of that. it's that he's done this all in the salary cap era. he's done it with different offensive schemes.
and there's really no reason to believe that he's done just yet...

Word, he said he's only in the midst of his career last night 14 seasons in
. There's no reason for me to believe that he won't be playing till at least 40. When reading about his off the field exploits and how he takes care of his body, you start to realize that he legit lives and breathes football almost year round.

I don't emm like Brady like that but I will always give more credit to those who played the best in the most important games in the most important time of the game.
I don't know if he's the GOAT but I have no problems with someone saying he is.
Also I think him losing in two Superbowls isn't a bad thing. You trying to tell me his resume would be stronger if they had lost in the first round those years?

exactly lol.....and one the years he lost they were 18-0 heading into the game
Rewatchin game now. Maxwell getting dealt. Wagner guarding Edelman. Wright on Gronk. Brady JUST missed Gronk deep on Kam, Avril has done NOTHING up to half, and Brady gets every pass out so fast no pass rusher was getting to him. Clearing the zone play after play after play........
So.....Avril hurt on the Wagner INT. 8 min left, 3rd Q.
Seattle TD on the ref pick play.
Pats ball with 5 min left, Bennett blows up C, holding, Pats 3 & out.
Seahawks don't score after Kearse drop.
Pats again go 3 and out.
Seahawks run Lynch twice, then Russ sacked.
Pats ball, 12 min left, Irvin sack on first play.
So Avril does ZERO in this game other than jump offsides and give NE free first down, and now since he been out, two three and outs for Pats.
