When have we seen perfect Super Bowls? In the SB, more often than not, defense tends to shine. That makes for a more "sloppy" looking game. Think about what happened to the greatest show on turf in '01, or to Brady's Pats in '07. It's a pretty psychological game, so it can often be disjointed and have no real pace. The refs were fine - they missed one PI, and called a hold that was kind of phantom, but those completely evened out. I grew up during the blowouts. Yesterday's game was great - a nail biter & down to the final series.

I agree. The Bengals D kept them in that game - I don't think the Bills D would have been able to do the same.

It was a great game. I hear some on twitter & elsewhere say it was "boring," but I grew up in the age of the SB blowout. This whole generation has had pretty amazing, hard-fought SB's for the most part. The reffing was good. There were 2 bad calls/no calls, and they evened out (imo). On a side note, we all complain about the coaching in the 13 second sequence, but there were some head scratchers last night from both coaches, and really, throughout the playoffs from the good teams. No coach is perfect. I think McD & his staff are as good as anyone out there right now.

We're right there. It's not like another player puts us over the top - though a pass rusher would be nice. Still, no reason tonight couldn't be us - w/ the way the team is right now.
-
"Choke" should be outlawed for everyone who hasn't played the sport at the highest level. The Bengals played great. No one on that team "choked." That's an embarrassing commentary, imo.
-
I had hoped for a SB that would make me think, "I'm glad that's not the Bills." This ain't it. We would have won this game.
-
I can't even remember the last halftime show that I thought really met the occasion.
-
Missed opportunity. Not much about the Rams is scary.
-
I feel like the Bengals got a few too many breaks on the way here. They almost feel like imposters - I like that team, but I think it could be a mismatch tonight.

Our defense always seems to come up short in the playoffs
Success replied to streetkings01's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's a little too early in the window for "always" kinds of pronouncements. It's really just the past 2 seasons. Last year was just rough because our O was banged up and couldn't keep up. This year, the D got some key stops in the 2nd half, but it really came down to a coin flip. -
Keyshawn Johnson downplays Mac Jones hype: ‘He ain’t Josh Allen’
Success replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
That win was a statement. It WAS telling the Patriots that yes, you are headed in that direction, and we're headed in this direction. The Pats are done. -

Jones will be just good enough for the Pats to keep him for many years. Which is just fine by me. -
It's a team game. I reject when QB's are labeled "chokers" because their TEAMS consistently fall short. Rogers, like Manning, had almost nothing to do w/ some of his early playoff exits. His last game was the 1st time that I felt like he didn't show up in the playoffs. He had a bad game. The play last year was just one he missed - I wouldn't call it "lacking clutch." I've seen AR pull out enough games in the 4th to know he can be very clutch.
-
I agree - every game is match-ups, and the way we match up to the Rams could be completely different. But if the Rams D-line dictates the game like I think they will, I might feel a little better. I don't think we would have matched up well against that, or against the Rams WR's.
-
I'd like to see him play more. He brought a lot of energy to the D, imo.

Ask me on Sunday night.

Oh, man - that look on Lalo's face in the last episode. I'm actually nervous.

Germany is on the bucket list. I'd be in.

Was 2021 a step back or step forward for the Buffalo Bills?
Success replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Patriots fans hate us now. Step forward. -
Quinton Spain comments on release from the Bills
Success replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
We'll probably be hearing his name a lot on Sunday. -
It's probably been stated on this thread, but there was that story that Deflategate was kind of a "make up call" for Spygate, which was allegedly worse than what was reported. The Pats* deserve the cheating reputation. Maybe not Brady, but BB has always pushed the envelope. As most here know, he supposedly had his D kick the ball at the LOS sporadically in our SB against the Giants to slow down the K-Gun. If you're a great coach w/ a great team, just play the game & win it on the field.
-
We need to build a true top 5 defense next year. Defense wins championships. As much as the end of the KC game hurt, I would have been extremely concerned about facing the Rams with our current D.

Pats hire Joe Judge back, may not hire an OC
Success replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
He has to be feeling a bit of pressure, though. Yes, the success speaks for itself - but the only real success came w/ the GOAT QB. He hasn't done much without that QB. If the Pats take a step back next year, the whole "It was Brady, not Belichick" crowd will be as loud as ever.
