It's refreshing to discuss football on a forum where everyone isn't hateful, spiteful, and vindictive.
This game . . . the narrative everyone is in a huge rush to forget is that Ben outplayed Brady the whole game, without Brown, against a much better secondary and better pass rush, better rating, third downs, TD-int ratio, everything, and if that a-hole Sean Davis had HELD ON TO FRIGGIN BALL on what would have been Brady's 2nd interception or if Jesse James HAD HELD ON TO THE FRIGGIN BALL we wouldn't be having this conversation.
But of course they didn't hold on, so the narrative changes quickly. Does anyone remember that beautiful fake-spike TD to Brown last year against Dallas? Well, we didn't have Brown, so if you're Todd Haley do you:
1. Spike the ball and draw up a play for Le'Veon friggin Bell?
2. Spike the ball and draw up a play for Smith-Schuster or Bryant?
or 3. rush the play and have it go to Eli Rogers?
If you selected option 3 you now qualify to be the OC for Pittsburgh. Of course, Ben should have spiked it anyway or checked out of the play. There would not have been such a need to rush if JJSS had gone out of bounds on that long pass btw.
And yeah not doubling Gronk
