    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    This might be true, if I wasn't just using the end of that game as a small example towards the larger point of him being "carried" by his defense in Super Bowls. 2001: Game winning drive (after defense allowed a 17-3 lead in 4th quarter to end up a 17-17 tie with 1:30 to go) 2003: Game...

    Fuck outta here with this shit. To be wrong you'd actually have to prove one of your "points"...that he either got carried by his D for a bunch of Super Bowls, and that he's in no way potentially a choice equal to or over Montana for that 1 game winning drive. When the guy has literally done...

    Happened twice against the King of Derp. Not solely blaming them as the only reason, but if we give them all the credit in other games where the offense still pulled their weight at the end to win SB's, we can point out when the D did not get the job done late as well. Holding them to 3 points...

    I'm not so much "blaming" their D just noting if we're propping them up for carrying them (not so much you making that statement, mostly Genj) to titles, we can certainly point out another chance for them to win one in which they failed to do so. It's not silly to describe it as "when they...

    Not sure how this relates other than to note that the Bengals defense can't be given credit for carrying Boomer Esiason to a Super Bowl win just like we can't credit the Pat's D for doing so wit Brady in '07.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    We've gone over this a time or two before I think. It's not discounting the other 57 minutes at all, but when the Pats needed a scoring drive to either tie the game (FG) or take the lead (TD) they got the TD. When the D needed to only prevent a TD, they weren't able to pull it off. If we're...

    I mean...he hit Moss in the end zone to put his team up 4 with under 3 minutes to go in the Super Bowl. Of those players you listed on D: Bruschi, Seymour, Wilfork, Vrabel (and Seau on that team)...couldn't hold the fort for 2 minutes 42 seconds. If they carried him to other Super Bowls, they...

    Honestly...I don't know. Literally aside from Philly managing to force that fumble last year, I would have bet my life Brady would have driven them down for go ahead TD.

    This is why I was stuck on Montana still being the greatest for a long time. His impeccable record in Super Bowls, and his play in the playoffs and in the SB's. Sure, Brady had some good defenses. You mentioned Bruschi, I remember in their first loss to the Giants after Brady hit Moss in...

    On the viniateri kicks...even if he missed either or both, those games would have just gone to OT, where Brady potentially could have won them anyways. Also he's handed his defense leads with under 5 minutes to go twice that resulted in losses in the Super Bowl. He could have won a couple more...

    Thought we controlled play for long stretches, especially in 2nd period and parts of the 3rd. Andersen played great, couple unlucky bounces for Holts. Toronto is legit though, not trying to take anything away from them.

    Well, Leafs certainly got every bounce they needed on their goals tonight. Too many missed chances by us. Oshie and Vrana had about 3 chances each to tie it up at 3 late that went left wanting.

    Dalton basically used to be right around the line for "average starter" in the league. As I pointed out a few weeks ago though under Lazor as OC he's stepped his game up a little bit. That offense has a lot of weapons still.

    To be honest, I think they need a better O line before they draft a young QB to take over. A lot of Barkley's yards come from individual monster runs he breaks, because he doesn't get the blocking he could get and has to create his own space...as you noted, as well. In this case, if they...

    I know it's fun to make fun of Itlan, but wasn't there a lot of people thinking Barkley would be a total bust? Since Eli sucks and OBJ can't get the ball enough, Barkley is basically their entire offense.

    While I agree with Khabib the rest of Conor's guys should have been disciplined too, insinuating that Conor started it with the bus incident kind of ignores Khabib and Lobov stuff that occurred before the bus incident.
