Ita wild the Falcons drafted him in the 1st round with these serious concerns. I mean, Hardy fell all the way to the 6th largely because of similar concerns. At some point in the draft it's tempting to take a shot on the talent. 6th round? Okay, I get it. You're in the throwing darts at the board portion of the draft at that point. 1st round? Oof.

What an absolute bizarro year of football. The Indiana Hoosiers win the college national championship and Vanderbilt was a borderline playoff team. Sam Darnold is now a Super Bowl winning QB while the Chiefs and Ravens miss the playoffs and the Panthers were division winners. John Harbaugh fired and Mike Tomlin forced out. Bill Belichick can barely win a game and Josh McDaniels is the new Mike Shula. What in the world... LOL

None of it is rocket science. No one is doing anything different in the game of football at this point. It's about getting good players and putting them in a position to succeed. Basically, don't be Mike Shula in SB50 or Josh McDaniels in SB60.

I was specifically talking about McDaniels and the Pats offense. They didn't adjust to poo.

Surely there's no way the Pats don't invest big in the OL this offseason. They also gotta figure out if Campbell is the answer at LT. He got treated like a doormat by every team in the playoffs. If he wasn't dealing with some injury they were keeping quiet or something along those lines you really have to question if he's an NFL LT. Not saying he can't be a starter somewhere on the OL but you gotta question of LT is the right spot for him.

Yeah, literally nobody would've predicted that the Chiefs and Ravens would miss the playoffs and that the Pats and Seahawks would play in the SB. You could've bet a $20 bill on that parlay and retired on it.

If you bet before the season started that the SB would be the Seahawks vs. Pats you're an absolute geniu... fuging LIAR! LOL

It wasn't the coverage, it was the pass rush scheme. Zone defense behind a dominant pass rush has always been a recipe for great D. That was what the original Seattle Legion of Boom was built around. The overloaded the left side of the Pats OL all night long knowing those rookies wouldn't be able to handle it. And just like Shula in SB50, McDaniels refused to adjust to it. Just like Shula, he just stuck his head in the sand and pretended that somehow it would just magically start working out at some point.

Felt like Cam in SB50. He just didn't stand a chance. Overwhelmed OL and an OC who refused to adapt on the fly.

Dude, I lived 25 miles west of Mile High Stadium in 2015. I don't wanna hear poo. LOL

Yep, I fuging despise the Seahawks and their fans but Sam seems like a legit good dude and I'm happy for him.

The Pats have to fire McDaniels after this. It's hard to fire a guy after a SB run but we should've fired Shula after SB5O and the Pats should fire McD after tonight.

Programs. Not just taking about this year. You cannot pretend that MSU and Florida are on the same tier as Kansas and Kentucky as basketball programs. Just stop. LOL

It'll probably be walker but the kicker would be fuging hilarious

Pretty much. Just no great teams this year and then the SB turns into SB50 where a dominant D faces off against an offense that absolute refuses to adapt and beats its head against the wall all night pretending like the same old thing will eventually just magically start working.

That was awful, Drake. I really cannot comprehend why they didn't run him. I saw it at UNC. He's a lot like Cam in that when he's out of rhythm you run him to settle him down. I have no idea why the Pats refused to do it.

Huge error by the Pats returner. You should have the ball on the 15 instead it's inside the 5.

This might get intesting.

Why haven't they ran Maye? I think they're just really fuging dumb. LOL

Nothing will ever top all the non-calls from the Broncos treating Cam's head like a piñata in the very season where blows to the head of the QB was THE officiating focus.

Probably too little too late but they finally came alive.

Let's see the idiot fan get gangpiled. Might be the most entertaining thing that's happened tonight. LOL

I know it's hard to fire someone after a SB run but just like we should've fired Shula after SB50, the Pats should fire McDaniels after this one.

Yep. A dominant defense against a floundering offense that absolutely refuses to adjust.

It's pretty simple. It's about maximizing the non-football audience. The football fans are watching for the game. This one was specifically about maximizing the international audience. The halftime show and the overall media spectacle isn't about football.
