This was an ESPN thing with their beat reporters and it was Cimini who made the Allen pick.

I dunno, seems like they were meant for each other ...

Here's the evidence:

We should have had a guy like that on the Jets sideline during the Bowles era. Except his job would have been to periodically zap him with an electric prod to wake him up.

Yeah, I knew someone was going to bring this up, and nope, I don't buy it. Refs don't cause a coach to have that kind of superior performance from his unit over a span of 14 years. If anything, he's probably good at coaching his linemen on how to hold without getting caught. Good skill to have.

Albert Breer: 1. I think you should look at how clean Tom Brady’s jersey is here and take it as another sign of the value of Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia. When I broke down the rosters of the four conference finalists in my Thursday Game Plan, I noticed that three of the four had left tackles among their three highest cap numbers. The Patriots, conversely, let their left tackle of the last six years, Nate Solder, walk in the offseason, and replaced him 49ers castoff Trent Brown. Nine months later Trent Brown is going to start at left tackle in the Super Bowl, alongside a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, a fifth-round pick and an undrafted free agent. Whatever the Krafts are paying Scarnecchia isn’t enough. https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/01/21/conference-championships-rams-saints-chiefs-patriots-officiating-super-bowl-LIII Dante Scarnecchia. Are you frigging kidding me? Look at the rankings above and how highly his units have performed over everyone else. And he does it with low-round draft picks. They didn't sack the old man once on Sunday. That's the main reason the Chiefs lost. It comes down to this: If you look at the Patriots roster, they don't belong in the Super Bowl. But they win because they play smarter than everyone else and they have the best coaches. By the way, did not previously know this, but this guy is 70 years old and has been a Patriots coach since 1982, except for a one-year pit stop with the Colts.

I’ll take a prolific offensive playmaker over a prolific pass rusher every time. It’s much tougher to stop a great offensive player than a pass rusher. What did Mack do in the playoffs? Watt? Ingram/Bosa? The Jets need to try to trade down in the first round twice, pick up a couple more day-two picks and stock up on offense.

This game was literally won by a coin flip.

NE won toss. Game over.

You could argue A defense this bad doesn’t deserve to go to the Super Bowl.

KC shoulda eaten more clock. Their defense is so abysmal I would make the Pats the favorites to win at this point.

What the hell is a Van Noy?

Pats doing what everyone expected — run, run, underneath pass, rinse repeat. KC must’ve known this is what they were going to do. Yet they can’t stop it. What is this dark magic Belichick wields?

Funny thing is if the idiot had just turned his head to the right he could have had an interception.

OMG that was an obvious PI.
