Let's Be Reality; This Loss is On The Pats O Line and Gostkowski

[FTBS]

The Patriots had to play perfect..

The Patriots beat almost any other team today with the game they played..

its just the Broncos D is playing on a scary level..to the point where 1 mistake can be the difference

Pats played far from perfect and made multiple mistakes and were a 2 pc from probably winning.

cost them plain and simple unless the kicker missed 5 fga it wasn't him

The Gostkowski kick was too early in the game to say it decided anything. They had plenty of time to make up for it, and who knows how the game would have played out had he made it. Sure it's easy to say "look they needed 2 instead of an XP to tie.. He blew it!" But that's just far too simplistic. The game could have unfolded in a number of ways after he missed that kick. Denver's D won the game and deserved it

Hmm, can we credit the kicker and the D for majority of those SB wins?

People act like the Broncos would have run the same exact plays and everything would have played out exactly the same up until the final play if the Patriots kicked a FG on one of their drives. It doesn't work like that.

I can understand both views about whether or not to kick the FG or go for it with about 6:00 left in the fourth quarter. The Patriots had not really been down that part of the field much of the game and they would have needed a TD one way or another. I don't mind the "take the points" crowd, but the ones who say, "Well, if you kicked a FG here, and then here, and then on the final drive, the Patriots would have won" are beyond retarded.

No.
If you want to blame 1 person for this loss, then you blame the 1 person who gets all the credit for the wins.

Blame Tom Brady.

Cant blame the Ghost... More ON oline and Beli then Tom.

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Good to see Pats fans on the same give Brady credit for wins but give him excuses for losses that a lot of nfl fans are on.

Let Manning throw 200 yards on 90 passes and toss two interceptions though.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

All their RBs got hurt during the year.

You cant establish the run with in the backfield.

If no team fears your run game they're going to put everyone in coverage and never fall for play action. One dimensional offenses don't work.

Lets be reality.

Where were these excuses when Peyton was in the playoffs with teams that couldn't run the ball OR stop the run???

fukking trash O Line

If you wanna win, you gotta let the goat get some time to scan the field. fukk them

You think a one dimensional offense is an excuse for a loss? Do you know how football work or are you just stanning?

Show me a team that won it all without some type of balance on offense.
