I'm not saying there is, just saying that there seems to have been a narrative (for lack of a better term) the last few years.Cybrweez wrote:cail, a script? Puhleaze. Did the NFL force the Ravens to no longer run the ball? Did it force Flacco to throw to the wrong team? Questionable ref calls? That's a wash, and is the case in any game anyway.
Hmmm...I'd have to check a lot of past-season stuff to be sure, but that seems very likely just from available memory.Cail wrote:The Patriots benefit tremendously from a great late-season home field advantage and a weak division. Put Cleveland in the East and NE in the North, and I think there'd be a very different result.
Yea, all of that is true...Cail wrote:The "LA Move" has been a scare tactic that owners have used for a while. Problem is that even though LA is the second largest TV market in the country, they haven't historically supported their teams (Rams or Raiders).
Yea...but I think the absolute worst thing, stupidest, and a coaching problem...SoulBiter wrote: Mistakes aside (boggling an onside kick, etc etc) GB played too conservatively.

Yeah, I see teams do that when they are defending a 'Hail Mary' play. They rush 3 and go to "man to man" mixed with "zone" coverage. The problem with that is, the QB can sit in the pocket all day... at some point someone is going to make a mistake and lose their man, and a pass WILL be completed. I don't know why coaches do this. Why not do what you have been doing all game, that was working for ya.Vraith wrote:Yea...but I think the absolute worst thing, stupidest, and a coaching problem...SoulBiter wrote: Mistakes aside (boggling an onside kick, etc etc) GB played too conservatively.

The 2nd and 30something, then 3rd and 19 or whatever it was---YOU DON'T PLAY ANY DEFENSE??? Most of the reason you are ahead is your defensive play so far? It was awful, absurd, stupid. A 2-man rush??? Really????
The end result was right, I think, in a way---Seattle is the better team, overall. But on THAT given day, GB gave it away. And I don't like Seattle.
