Why does nobody in the AFC know how to beat the Patriots in the playoffs?

I remember cheering for the Pats against the Rams in SB36. My how things have changed.

Seriously, why wouldn't Reid call a time out on the goal line to give his D a breather?

The Patriots are undoubtedly great, but it's stuff like that that makes them the luckiest team ever as well. I can't remember any QB getting bailed out by a game-ending INT by a defender lining up in the neutral zone. Tom Brady is living the good life and he is as lucky as he is good. Good for him.

Excuse me, my Broncos are 3-1 against them in the Brady/Belichick era in the postseason.

Eh..that's how close these teams are.

Honestly, I felt the home team would win this game whether it be in KC or NE.

Crazy crazy games today, highly entertaining for a fan of the sport. The superbowl should be an amazing one.

Rattlehead · « **Reply #3021 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:20:28 PM »

So many clutch plays by Edelman and Gronk at the end there, what a finish

I feel bad for Reid with the amount of great seasons he's had that have ended in heartbreaking fashion.

faizoff · « **Reply #3022 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:22:52 PM »

Let me also commend Tony Romo's commentating on that entire last drive in OT, dude called almost every play and for a casual fan like myself it was super entertaining to listen. The superbowl should be a fun listen with him.

Fair enough. But it’s frustrating watching teams that have been great all year constantly and consistently shoot themselves in the foot when the only thing standing between them and the Super Bowl is Tom Brady/Bill Belichick.

It's not lucky when a dummy lines up in the neutral zone

Sometimes you have to give the devils their due. Neither their win vs. LA or vs. KC was due to the other team shooting themselves in the foot

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #3027 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:34:09 PM »

Brady/Belichek record in AFC Championship Games is now 9-4.

I feel bad for the Chiefs, although they kind of got bailed out with penalties on their last touchdown drive; but if I was a Chiefs fan, I would probably be harping on the Off-sides call.

I love Tony Romo doing the games. Seriously. I actually feel like I learn something.

Well, for the Chargers to shoot themselves in the foot, they would've actually had to show up.

El Barto · « **Reply #3029 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:43:31 PM »

Eddleman caught a break. The ball definitely missed him cleanly, but he never should have been within 10 yards of the fucking thing to begin with.

The dude's just about Kreskin. He called the end of the game dead-on. At the same time, as Patriots fan I really wanted him to STFU. I was wanting more game than Romo. I had to work to tune him out.

Quote from: TAC on January 20, 2019, 07:21:31 PM

They just made up for it for not calling holding/PI on Berry.

Yep. And then they missed three different holds against Gronk on the next play. The Roughing call is as bad as I've ever seen, but I saw enough bad calls in the 4th to go around.

Go Pats. I'm pretty fucking happy about the whole thing.

KevShmev · « **Reply #3030 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:44:01 PM »

Romo does a damn fine job.

That said, this will probably be the first Super Bowl since the early 90's I do not go out of my way to watch, and no I am not just saying that. Stan Kroenke's team vs the Patriots is just too gross to endure.

TAC · « **Reply #3031 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:45:19 PM »

You want me to PM you the results after the game?

KevShmev · « **Reply #3032 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:47:28 PM »

No need. I have a group text with my brother and a few friends from our football league; that will be impossible to avoid. Odds are, this year I will end up going to someone's SB party, which I usually avoid because I want to watch this game, but this year not so much.

Dream Team · « **Reply #3033 on:** January 20, 2019, 08:47:29 PM »

Thanks Dee Ford. Now everyone will blissfully forget that Brady threw a game-ending INT (his third pick of the game). ESPN has “questionable” roughing call headline on home page. Ya think?

. And thanks to the fact that NE wins the coin toss way more than 50% of the time, 10% of the nation will enjoy the SB instead of 99%.

Tony Romo should be KC’s defensive coordinator, he knew every play coming.

No dogs in the hunt today....and both my wife and I are drained. We feel for the Saints and Chiefs fans....these games will leave a bitter taste for years, especially since each team did have their chances (Lee Evans drops the winning TD, Billy Cundiff then hooks the FG....nope, haven't forgotten the Ravens loss at NE).

As to Romo.....Tony, once you've made your point, you don't need to go on for another sentence or three.

And did he really make some comparison of a booth review to the Grassy Knoll?!? We keep the volume down quite low so as not to hear most of his speeches, but we did hear that.

dparrott · « **Reply #3036 on:** January 20, 2019, 11:50:00 PM »

The Rams' no call sucked, but you can't blame the refs on throwing an INT in OT! They had their chance to win it.

I had hopes for the Chiefs, but Brady being f'n Brady dammit.

So we'll have a veteran QB and HC against a 3rd year QB and 2nd year HC. Greaaaat. Good luck with that.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #3037 on:** January 21, 2019, 01:02:21 AM »

The OT doesn't happen if the call is made correctly. It's like telling someone they'd have never been evicted if they would've had a second job to make money cuz their primary job skipped town and never paid them.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #3038 on:** January 21, 2019, 07:06:05 AM »

To be this consistent in this era designed to promote parity......it's absolutely incredible. Hate em if you want to or need to, but there is no denying how great of an accomplishment this sustained success of New England has been.

KevShmev · « **Reply #3039 on:** January 21, 2019, 07:11:31 AM »

Mahomes was pressured on 45% of his drop backs (by a defense Pats fans told me was trash and would never get this team to the Super Bowl this year).

Brady's uniform at the end of the game looked as clean as it did at the beginning (despite KC having a great pass rush, the only good part of their defense).

That is all coaching.

Yesterday was just more proof that Belichick is the unquestioned GOAT who still deserves the lion's share of credit for this unprecedented dynasty.

kaos2900 · « **Reply #3040 on:** January 21, 2019, 07:19:16 AM »

As a Chiefs fan that was a tough loss (LINE UP IN THE RIGHT SPOT DEE FORD AND YOU"RE IN THE SUPER BOWL) but I figured their defense was going to let them down. Didn't get to Brady once. Be surprised if they keep their Def Coordinator. If they can keep that offense and give Mahommes weapons they'll win at least one super bowl in the next decade.

The refs were equally terrible in each game.

Random though, while the odds of two OT Conference Champ games ever occurring again is close to 0 I'd like to see the NFL tweak the OT rule for the playoffs which gives each team the ball once regardless if the first team gets a touchdown. Who in the world didn't want to see if Mahommes could go and score again?

Super Bowl Prediction- I don't see Brady losing back-to-back super bowls. The Rams secondary is worse than the Chiefs. Pats win again in a surprising blow out.

cramx3 · « **Reply #3041 on:** January 21, 2019, 07:24:46 AM »

If you watched every game this year you would feel the same about this defense. I am so glad to be wrong.

The Pats never seemed like a team that could "Turn the switch on" like you see in basketball a lot. They have this year.

True, but Brady got to OT and won it. Brees had the same opportunity and didn't.

It wasn't just Romo. I was listening on Westwood One, and Harlan said it was like "the Zapruder film".
