I'm not going to allow myself to think that , even though the Jets won this game, they were the better team. Yes, they out played the Pats for the most part by dominating the line of scrimmage - so the final score was very deceiving. But I have to hand it to the Pats for hanging in there with all the injuries they have incurred to the WR's and offence/defensive lines. What did they have, about 7-10 starters out? Give credit to Belicheck/Brady and the CS for doing a great job.
What a solid drive, the feel of how the offense just goes out there and executes is so different then years' past.
It was a great play. One thing I never predicted was that we'd be able to show such finesse on offense. Years of numbingly predictable play calling made me crossed-eyed. Still...Marshall made some great plays....that catch in OT was Schön! Just ask Volker Schenk. http://www.nfl.com/videos/internati...erman-announcers-call-Jets-game-winning-drive
One of my favourite parts of re-watching that: Todd Bowles' expression throughout it all, including after the TD. All business, and calm. I get the feeling he wasn't impressed it actually made it to OT lol. You can tell he still has personality when he talks and is around the players mic'ed up, but he doesn't make a spectacle of it. I also loved seeing the Pats run into each other on that rub route haha. They picked themselves off.
Yup Marshall and Fitz too. AFter Marshall catches that huge ball down by the 5 to make it first and goal, he just gets up tosses the ball to the ref and walks back to the huddle. Also, if we get into the playoffs, Fitz's "Good night!" should become as iconic as Can't Wait
I'd normally agree but if Pittsburgh doesn't make the playoffs the quarterbacks Brady faces are: Banged up Dalton, so-so Osweiler, Alex Smith, Brian Boyer, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. I actually firmly believe he wants Roethlisberger and the Steelers eliminated at all costs. I don't think he let us score but I don't think he was heart broken that they lost.
1)- THANK YOU Stokes! I watched that OT vid 'bout 20x! 2)- The Enunwa pass-play was the result of a most perfect execution of a legal pick (no contact made) . Fake-triot DB's were out of position after K. Thompkins broke right after the short completion. 3)-Fitz-Da'-Kat, while over-throwing rec'vrs & generally inaccurate early on, was ON POINT on those 3 passes in OT. (Fitz side-arm "missile" to Marshall was straight SIIIICK). 4)- I don't give 2-sh#ts that the Wack-triots were missing key starters. Injuries occur all across the NFL which is why teams say "Next Man Up" & if the NMU can't step it up, oh well! 5)- Lastly, & you may disagree, I don't go for all that "Beli-sick" is some kind of coaching genius nor do I buy into the Ain't-triots being 1 of the NFL's ALL-TIME great teams. Why? N.E./"Beli-d#ck" wins because of TOM BRADY . Tom Brady, whether you like him or not, is a BEAST! 1 of the greatest qb's ever. "Beli-sick" rides Brady's "golden arm" & talent like Phil Jackson rode Kobe, Shaq, Jordan & Pippen. Apologies as I'm just venting.....I'm sick & tired of hearing how "Beli-pr#ck" is the "Einstein of Football" !
Yeah, and the very next play was the pick Quincy play. I wonder how much "if any" that hit played into the next play. I didn't see who it was. Was he out for that play?
Yeah. It was huge though. It extended that drive and used up enough time so Brady didn't have enough time in regulation. I really thought we would win it in regulation. After that pass to mid field.
