Playoffs 2018

Jacksonville’s defense is vastly overrated.

I'm not sure how you can say that? If anything their SS/FS are their biggest weakness. Outside of those areas they have a nice defense

I think there's some projection involved with that comment, and I'm going to leave it at that.

Oh fine, if we're going to be pedantic children about it, I guess I can point out the the drive killing dumb**** passes earlier in the game, the delay of game after a freaking time out, or that little gem right there.

I expected that. Yeah, sour grapes. :laugh
And I am leaving it at that.:biggrin

There you go Tom Brady throw it up and count on the Refs to do the rest.

1 min to go and 2 timeouts and Jax takes 2 knees. Bortles pretty much summed up right there.

Its beyond annoying that NE aways gets the questionable calls go their way, if they are so good they shouldn't need the refs help

I'll give you the last word, since you want it so much.

Yup. Expect to see a lot of that in the second half. Playing physical football in the playoffs is OK, except in Foxboro if you're wearing the wrong laundry.

If you can't beat them, ask the refs to do it for you.

It was just like that against TN. They played well until the refs took over with two crucial calls.

It's really a shame that the Patriots can't beat this opponent fair and square. They legitimately are counting on the refs to help them out. That's exactly what Tom is looking for and getting with this deep throws.

Jumping in late here, but i thought both of those were weak calls.

1. Church was basically bracing for impact and tried to use his shoulder, i feel Gronk’s height led to his head coming into church’s

2. Was that catchable?? They were both equally fighting down the field

Jags O will have to duplicate that effort in the second half or better to win it IMO I’m not sure Gronkowski won’t be back as Romo is.

Most dominant defenses play better with a lead. Jacksonville’s completely disappears. That’s why.

I thought the Church call was fair. In real time it looked kind of like Church was trying to avoid a big hit, but the replay angle pretty clearly showed that he launched himself head first into Gronk. Not that I care, Gronk deserves it after what he did earlier in the season, but that was a legit penalty.

The Gronk hit is legit. But the PI is really weak and the refs are just an added man on offense for the Patriots at this point. It's obvious that without their help the Pats have a hard time getting those chunk plays.

This is a playoff game the refs need to let them play and EARN everything.

Yeah sure...against NE w/Refs in NE w/Refs..Whatever you say AZ!

Pretty much sums it up perfectly
