I haven't had cookies for breakfast since I was 13, and the protein shakes and Gatorade that I drink now are great for my long-distance running.

Thanks for your concern, though. I hope all is well with your family.

That was a Lynn Swann-esque catch by Julio Jones right there.

When a FG would probably put the game away, well within range, Shanahan decides to call two pass plays with disastrous results. . As much head as Shanahan has received this year I have to re-think my assessment of him.

Yeah, he will still get the San Francisco gig, but his second half play calling was concerning to say the least...less than stellar.

Totally agree, so fucking stupid.

At least Scott Norwood's missed 47-yard field goal was a relatively challenging task, especially for its time in the early 90's when field goal kickers were not regularly trying (and often making) 55-yarders on an almost routine basis.

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks' decision to try to force the ball into coverage instead of spiking the ball, and then having 2 chances to get one yard from Marshawn Lynch, as well as Matt Ryan and the Falcons' decision not to simply keep the ball on the ground and kick what would have been a game-clinching field goal are flat out inexcusable, and completely inexplicable.

And because of those 2 insane coaching decisions (as well as the quarterbacks not choosing to veto their coaches' instructions, and call their own play/audible at the line), the Patriots are now 5-4 in Super Bowls, instead of 3-6 ...... and we're going to have to hear never-ending slobbering about how great Tom Brady is.

And the pats will probably be in the Sb next year again. Its never ending.

Very Paganoish!!

Say what you want about them, and I hate them as much as anyone who posts on this board, but they have a head coach that knows what he's doing.

Did I read that last sentence correctly?

Belicheater is no doubt one of the best coaches ever but is it because of Brady or is it because of him?

its a combination but more so bill. he has complete control of whats going on there. they keep on chugging even with brady out. they could very well spin garapalo into some nice draft pics. there may be some drop off when brady retires, but if they keep their course they will probably do well with another QB.

also, when bill retires from coaching he could very well just slip into an exec role (pres of football opertions), have one of his minions do the daily grind of coaching but essentially still be controlling the team.

It's Bill, It's always been Bill.

I am honestly very curious to see how Brady's career arc goes. I think he's smart enough to realize he's gotten as far as he has because he's always had the best, most innovative coaching staff in the league.

Guys like Montana, Favre, Manning - They all eventually moved on from their original team and continued to play elite level football for some time for the next team they played with. Manning is obviously the most impressive example because he managed to reach Two championships with Denver and actually win one. I know Montana got close, and I will never forget the Referees screwing Minnesota out of their opportunity with favre against New Orleans.

Belichick was a great coach before Brady. Those defenses New York used to have were fucking horrifying.
