Couldn’t disagree with this take more. The Pats won a SB a few years ago because the SEA coaches decided they shouldn’t put the game in the hands of their best side and run the ball with Lynch. Atlanta had Shanahan, who in his brilliance forgot to run the ball for over an entire quarter when he had a 28 point lead and the clock was his best friend. These boneheaded transgressions had little to do with defense, but rather with Coaches outsmarting themselves.

Certainly they can. They must be the more physical team, punish and wrap up on every tackle. Stop the run and get middle pressure on Brady while disguising their coverages. Offensively they can’t be conservative , Rivers needs to be better than he was in his two outings vs BAL. The Ravens have a superior defense to what he’ll face next week, but he has to be better. It’s easier said than done, but LAC have the players to get it done. They’ll need to take a page out of the Ravens gameplan vs NE over the years, as they’ve been more effective than most up there. BAL has two playoff wins at Foxboro, another that they should have won ( Lee Evans careless attempt at what was a certain game winning TD in the AFC divisional ) and a couple other close games that could have went either way. This is the most beatable edition of the Pats* in some time , the LAC can’t let themselves be beaten by the mystique.

Maybe, but look at the consternation on Parkey’s face and watch him shake his head when what amounted to his “ practice kick” went through. It looked as though he was thinking “ oh no, I have to kick this again “. If anyone managed to get a finger on that ball , it was ever so slight. It just looked like he pushed it left, it wasn’t short as if it were blocked. Kickers are a funny lot, and some guys do actually psych themselves out. Taking that TO might not be the right move vs every K, but the fact he had hit the uprights 10 times this season ( 2nd most in the league) wasn’t lost on Pederson. Yogi Berra once said “ 90 % of the game is half mental “ . Or something like that.

Sure, so you run that system. Many QBs fall into this category.

Foles is the coolest guy in the room. 4th down, are you kidding me ? Seriously, PHL winning another SB with him isn’t impossible. I wouldn’t trade him if he does it.

How crazy for Nagy. He helped coax Foles back to football, plus had the chance to pick his opponent last week by resting guys in the 2nd half vs MIN ( a team he knew he could beat) instead of getting the Eagles with Foles. Pretty wild twist of fate.

Depends on the guy, but when the TO was called , Parkey kicked it , made it them shook his head. I knew he was cooked right there

Can’t believe Peterson kicked it to Cohen , but what a move to call that TO and ice the kicker. Holy crap Foles has ice water in his veins. I never believed the Bears could beat NE so there you go.

I’m guessing NY said “ yeah we’ll just go with the ruling on the field stands with this one” can’t imgaine the controversy if they called it a catch.

The official shouldn’t have picked the ball up. They needed to let that play go . Would have been a travesty

Thank goodness Refs should have let that play go. This is one where they should stay with the ruling on the field

What a crock ofschitttttt if the Bears get that ball in scoring territory when the officials waived it dead BS

For the winners they’re all meaningless right now. Each game is its own thing and you only have to be better that day.

No INT there... gotta hold off on that group pose. Almost a great play but not quite

Another bad decision by Foles... highly unusual. No need to force that on 2nd and 9. The earlier one on 1st and ten not a great idea either

Mitch a little gimpy after that run... hammy tightened up ?

Total BS call there...can’t stand Bennett but c’mon refs

Known in the industry as an “ i -poo “

Flacco looks like he’s wondering why he wasn’t put in....Harbaugh chose his hill to die on apparently... Herm had it right “ you play to win the game” worry about the other stuff later.

Schopp is such a toolbox

Well there’s Peterman....

Losing team, and he’s errr white ?

Worst spot everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

They’ll do the old “ call stands “ cop out BS

Schitty throw again by Rivers but still a TD
