2014-15 NFL Discussion thread

If anyone can find clips of what Brady and esp Eli Manning just did in skits on the NBC NFL awards show they are well worth watching. Eli's skit was quite something as it involved a lot of Benny Hill type stuff and a picture of a banana he claimed was bigger than his penis. I never ever thought I would see many of those words in the same sentence tbh.

Peyton talking about peeing his pants in fear in his too and holding a vote as to who wants to get the **** out of here.

This is brilliant.

Patriots should have like 15 men on Defense for that last play.

That could be the worst play call in the history of football you complete fuckwit.

Geniuses just cannot resist being geniuses when they don't need to be geniuses.

Incred scenes.

Pete Carroll says he accepts responsibility for the call. Decision was made on formation (why not use the remaining time out?) and, if it were incomplete, the plan was they'd run on third and fourth.

They were bleeding the clock so the Pats had no time left once they scored a td.

I am certain that Belichick not calling a timeout with a minute left was far worse than Seattle passing there.

And I bet on Seattle so I'm not talking through my pocket.

Seahawks CB Tharold Simon: "How do you throw the ball when you got Marshawn Lynch?"

[The Camel]

Meh, some excellent posts on 2+2 have made me change my mind somewhat.

I don't think it's anywhere near the worst call of all time, but I accept they should have handed it off to Lynch.

Still - a great game, which looked like being a terrible game after one qtr!

[The Camel]

Ha, now someone makes this post and maybe I was right all along!

That interception play was the only time all year a team was within 3 yards with 3 WRs, and a defense still used a goal line defense.

This is the key to the puzzle. New England subbed to goal line before Seattle subbed. You can't really try to run Lynch in vs 8 run defenders with only 6 blockers. They should have subbed in their jumbo package but probably out thought themselves or ran out of time and decided to leave their 3 WR personnel and the rest is history.

Another interesting post:

This is ridiculous if everyone thinks Pete/Bevell blew the SB with the call to pass. I highly, highly doubt that running is a dominant strategy there where NE can do nothing to change it. Plus if you take a process oriented approach, Wilson's pass at the time of no return shows Lockett running a good route and wide open over the middle. The NE defender makes a play that basically no one ever will ever again. It happens.
