T0mShane Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Which fanbase is more down tonight: The Patriots’ for losing the Super Bowl or the Lions’ because their new head coach is the guy whose defense just got shredded back to back by Blake Bortles and Nick Foles?

I understand how teams keep getting fooled into hiring their offensive coordinators. Brady makes them all look good. But the Pats defense is rarely good and is always bailed out by the offense. So why in the **** would you hire their defensive coordinator? By the way, Patricia looks like the son of Earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbstern Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The NFL needs to dial back the offense-friendly rules. It's getting out of hand. We're now at the point where premium defenses are ineffective at stopping any offense led by a capable QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDL_JET Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 They gave up on me. F—. It is what it is,” Butler Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. “I don’t know what it was. I guess I wasn’t playing good or they didn’t feel comfortable. I don’t know. But I could have changed that game.” hey maybe he’ll wanna come here to play revenge games twice a year?

Greensleeves Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The reason the Eagles won the game in the first place is because the coach had the guts to play aggressively the entire game. Bowles doesn't have that makeup, which is why it's going to be tough to beat the Pats when he's still the coach. Offense not only wins in todays NFL, but it's a helluva lot more fun to watch. AND, it brings fans to the game - hear that ownership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The take away is execution, fundamentals, aggressiveness and brains Philly had great clock management, few drops if any, few missed tackles, few missed blocks, aggressive play calling, and solid match up adjustments and just smart footballing Philly had a couple blown coverages, but cheaters were clicking The cheaters may have won if they moved Gilmore over Jeffrey sooner And that's defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The Pats dynasty has been all offense outside of the first SB year where the D played great in postseason until they became the first D ever to blow a double digit 4th qtr lead in the Super Bowl.
