    both head coaches with stupid decisions in the 4th

    Belichick's error will now be overlooked because the idiot kicker missed, but letting all that time tick off the clock before calling a timeout was idiotic.

    Every QB is a system QB, they just have to have the correct system, or the system needs the right QB.

    I believe the jets system under Gailey is a good offensive scheme, unfortunately we don't have the proper QB to make it work.

    What a choke job by Arizona. My god. No gronk, 2 missing OLmen and no Brady and you lose at home??? What a disgrace. Literally just don't get beat deep and attack their number 2 corner and you can beat them.

    Bill has been doing this for years, it's nothing new, he makes teams go the length of the field he takes away the deep threat with safety help over the top and jams receivers at the line, it's not rocket science.

    If you can go the length of the field on his team he will give you credit, but he almost never puts his defense in a position where they will get beat with one big play deep.

    I'm surprised more teams don't employ this strategy.

    I did see the Giants do it yesterday against the Cowboys, they let their front 7 take care of the running game and kept safeties deep to protect against Dez Bryant.

    I'm talking about the kickoff...

    when touchbacks meant the ball at the 20, Gostkowski would get touchbacks about two-thirds of the time.

    With the rule change, he's kicking it shorter.

    Yet Arizona foolishly kicked it through the end zone after the 15 yard penalty on New England

    After the game BB said he waited on the TO because he figured the Cards would rush the kicker onto the field. Once he saw they were taking their time and would use the whole clock he called TO.

    I agree that I wanted him to call the TO with 51 seconds left, but he was hoping to get the kick and have 35 seconds or so and a TO left. Arians got the best of him there. Though I still think Arians wasted his TO's way too early.

    Quite a shock, but I'll take it. Thought the team played well, though there's plenty to fix. Jimmy Grapes really surprised me. On average, I feel like he got rid of the ball in 3 seconds or less every time, outside of busted plays he had to scramble for.

    And James White turned in a hell of performance as well. I didn't think we'd be able to beat Arizona with Brady/Gronk/RT/LT out, but they did it. Props to Jimmy Grapes!

    You have to wonder about someone whose career has been so derailed by injury, yet is incapable of ever doing the most basic thing (slide) to avoid getting killed. At some point it stops being bad luck and just becomes basic stupidity.

    his career is over. The guy doesn't learn man. This is the 3rd HC who has said to get down, slide, and avoid contact. What does the guy do? Initiate contact as he heads out of bounds. His football IQ can't be too high either.

    That was 100% a fumble on Brown. He caught it and started to spin. It shouldn't matter if he spun all the way or a little bit. He had to have had control if he knew to start spinning. And then he catches a touchdown. FML

    Loved that ballsy 4th and 1 call. Play action deep pass for a TD.

    Pitt running away with this. Cousins is not a quality qb
