But to me this was nothing more than a team absolutely blowing it. It should be up there in mega sports blunders like the Boston Red Sox 1st baseman Bill Buckner who missed the ground ball between his legs in the world series. Or, the Steve Bartman Chicago Cubs playoff game where he caught the ball instead of letting his own player catch it. Doing a pass play there (especially slant routes when the defense is stacking the run all in the box wtf?) is absolutely ludicrous, and the game was not won by a great play but rather by an enormous offensive play calling blunder. Exciting? Yes. Memorable? Yes. But watching a team blow a game by not running Marshawn Lynch for 1 yard behind his 280 pound fullback who had been a human wrecking ball all game is not great. The Titans getting stopped on the 1 yard line from a slant pass to tie the game was a good ending to a game. This really does not look anything like that at the end. More of a "wtf, really? They call that play with that many guys in the box on the 1 yard line and you have Marshawn!?" Oh well, I can be happy for all the Patriots players, just not Brady. Or coach Belicheater.

Same people who bitch about the play calling would complain if Lynch got stuffed on the goal line 3x and they lost.


Go Patriots

football has so much luck in it, might as well call it poker

Yeah honestly I didn't mind the play call. You had time for 2 running plays, or 1 pass play and two running plays. Three shots at the end zone is better than two. It was just a poor pass and very good interception.
