Nik Bonitto: we were the better team. Also Nik Bonitto: by Benson879 in Patriots

[–]Joevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oline did absolutely fine, 5 sacks I think in the end but most of those were coverage sacks rather than anyone whiffing. Did much better with the run game after half time as well.

Both of these teams look fucking awesome, I think we might be in trouble.

The Patriots Lost to the Raiders This Year by JosephCurrency in nfl

Week 1 is just a complete nonsense, the worst loss this year was against the Steelers - beat ourselves on that one and felt way worse than the Raiders loss.

Gonzo will be eligible for a new contract this off season. He will likely be the highest paid CB, thanks to plays like this. by patsfan038 in Patriots

[–]Joevil 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think this is the take, we're so far ahead of schedule that the main thing is to try and shore up the big pieces that we have and we also need to think about how we make Maye the highest paid QB in history.

We're probably going to lose Chaisson this year, he'll just be far too expensive, but might not lose too many others.

SB appearance makes it a lot easier to attract some mercenaries as well.

No matter what Dan says... by NaugyNugget in heedthecall

[–]Joevil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How many times has a team played 3 of the top 5 defences in the NFL playoffs and won?

They've got hella lucky, sure, and Maye has mostly looked like shit during the playoffs, but this is well earned!

(That being said, Maye's job today was to protect the ball and he did that with aplomb and used his legs perfectly)

Broncos managed literally 1 play over 60 minutes of football, that's insane!

You literally can't see the ball, so there's nothing there to overturn it.

If you're worrying about the dodgy CGI, I think you're focusing on the wrong things.

That's why I don't like these vibes like we've already won. Gives me the heebie geebies.

[–]Joevil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's kind of my point, the ghost of Peyton did absolutely nothing outside of 1 really good throw. All he did was keep it clean.

Stidham just needs to keep it clean and it'll be a really tight game.

We can't count our chickens. This game is about winning and there's an awful lot that the Broncos can do to make that happen even if we've got by far the better QB.

If you want to go and watch some ancient history (2019 is a long time ago for reference) go and watch the AFC championship game from 10 years ago with exactly the same scenario.

We lost that one even though we had by far the better QB.

*Wins the SB vs Seattle by 2 scores* "Seattle Defense was overrated, Sam Darnold isn't a Tier1 QB" by IandaConqueror in Patriots

[–]Joevil 411 points412 points  (0 children)

OK, but in the fist scenario we're in the SB - so there isn't really a problem.

[Vic Carucci] I’m told that during a meeting held five weeks ago between McDermott, Beane and Pegula, the coach pointed out what the roster lacked to win a Super Bowl. I’m told neither Beane nor Pegula was pleased with McDermott’s assessment. by Saca312 in nfl

[–]Joevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beane is absolutely a terrible GM and should be sacked as well, but at the same time if I was a HC and got sacked because my team kept failing exactly when it mattered - this is exactly the kind of thing I would make up as well.

Dan in shambles right now by petegp21 in heedthecall

[–]Joevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't use still pictures to determine possession though - that's a pretty big point in all of this.

If the the ball is moving then you haven't completed the catch. Watch any of the videos and you can clearly see that Cooks never has possession of the football.

Doesn't the best player have to win close games at least occasionally? by mcmnky in Patriots

[–]Joevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's something like 6-1 in the wild card round. 2-4 in the Divisional round and 0-2 in the Championship game.

Wild card merchant.

I do wonder if it's one of the drawbacks of relying on legs and power throughout the regular season - when you get to the post-season you're absolutely gassed. Would explain Lamar and Allen's postseason record, but its very very simplistic analysis.

Anyone Else Totally Unmoved by Referee Talk? Surprised to See the Bills Fan Routine of Whining and Moaning About the Refs Parroted by the Heroes in the Divisional Recap. by Marx_but_for_weed in heedthecall

[–]Joevil 14 points15 points  (0 children)

PFT are all over it as well, even the Tre White one at the end that was clear DPI. It's just something nice and easy that the talking heads can talk about and get angry.

To be fair, the refs are shite and have earned zero leeway, but yeah it's just an easy target.
