  1. This is such a strech. No matter how much we hate them, NE is the most successful franchise in the last 15 years and I believe the most impressive in NFL history. Win or lose today, what they did in the cap era is absolutely mind boggling. Having said that, a 5th loss in the SB would make me feel much better ! If they win, it only adds to their resume. Brady best ever, BB best ever blah, blah, blah.

    Spygate happened in 2006. Those SB were legit despite what we would like to think.

    I'm not going to argue about whether their wins are astericked because I don't care, but one of the main points in the Spygate scandal was that they had videotaped the Rams' practice before the 2002 Super Bowl. If they did it for one game why wouldn't they do it for the other two?

  2. Here's why the rule doens't make sense.

     

    If you run into the end zone with the ball, and are not tackled, therefore never hit the ground it is a touchdown. In fact it's a touchdown the moment the ball breaks the plane.

     

    So if you have the ball at a point that it has crossed the plane regardless of if you have completed the process of hitting the ground the touchdown should have already been ruled at the point tha the ball crossed the plane in Dez's posession or the moment Cal Johnson had two feet down.

     

    Having posession of the ball in the endzone should be a touchdown regardless of what happens next or else they need to say that anyone that scores a touchdown still needs to be tackled!

     

     

    If you catch the ball in the air and then come down and the ball hits the ground like it did yesterday then it would not be a TD.

  3. Jimmy Johnson coached in the league for less than 10 years. Sure he got two rings and you can credit him with the Herschel Walker trade that helped build that Dallas team I guess, but even with that are his accomplishments really deserving of the Hall of Fame? Didn't Barry Switzer prove pretty much anyone could win with that team?

  4. Then he shouldn't be playing in the NFL. Considering a lot of it is about desire, I think he should be able to do better than he has been. Sticking with Collins doesn't take special athletic ability, just mind set.

     

    Not saying it wouldn't be nice if he could, but he hadn't shown anything up until that play that would make any one think he could block. So with that being the case why put him in that position at all?

  5. they hoped/expected to make the playoffs with no QB. I never expected it. What did you think they would say - our goal is not be 6-10?

     

    Wasn't that the justification for spending next year's 1st on a WR when there wasn't a QB on the roster? All they needed was Watkins and they would be a playoff team so it would be a late pick. Now they've squandered a great defense and the pick will be somewhere in the middle of the 1st round. Could be worse, but shouldn't someone be held accountable?
