Well if was any doubts think we can say Brady is the goat now

Absolute balls from Arians to enter Lambeau in the cold and give Brady licence to sling it, risking some turnovers along the way. Props.

Yep - there were a few balls which were obvious ‘punt replacements’ in a worst case scenario.

Of course the first QB to have a home Superbowl is Tom Brady.

Lives a Charmed Life doesn't he?

Perennial disappointers disappoint again.

yep, change coach, look good to great all year, deliver the same BS when it counts. Wouldnt want to be in LaFleur's shoes for the next few days.

It’s time we started labelling Rodgers as the choker he is

 

[drd23]

Thanks - it was such a bad call that I figured it must've been analytics!

You must have an odd understanding of analytics then

To be fair, he should have been given the chance to tie the game, not be sitting on the sideline watching his kicker.

Yes! We are the Super Bowl.

Both teams had a remarkably easy regular schedule. Home field might make it for Bucs though

 

[rumply]

wheres you mask Tom?

Measuring Andy Reid's balls against Matt LaFluers would be unfair.

It's amazing that coaches still wimp out.
- Analytics isn't an excuse because it's lineball, slightly in favour of going for it
- You have one of the best QBs ever who's still probably a top 2 QB right now and likely MVP
- Your defense isn't terrible but it's not great
- Even if you get the ball back at/around your own 20 is your offensive line going to hold up for an 80 yard drive where the defense knows you're going to be throwing it?
- Finally, if you go for it and don't get it and are scared about the analysis of it, are you really going to get crucified for going for it there? Who is going to stand up and say "actually, with Rodgers at QB and an iffy defense facing Brady and a ton of offensive talent we think FG was the right call"?

He can coach as many 13-3 seasons as he likes, there's no chance of winning a SB if he can't make the right decision there. And even if he (and others like him) have short memories, they only need to go back one week to see what a good coach does with a game on the line even with a backup QB.

These guys are paid millions of dollars to dish up shit like this. I have a bet on Tampa to win the SB and I'm still furious with it.

They did it for AB.

It's not so much that it wasn't a penalty its the fact that the same thing happened when Green Bay had possession and they didn't call it. Either call neither or call both. It's not rocket science

 

[hutchy31]

I'll be half-watching the next game while trying to get some work done, so if anyone can post a link or upload LeFleur and Rodgers post-game interviews that would be much appreciated. Should be decent viewing......

A lot easier to see the one of the left as a back judge

Trying to recall whether Manning had as much leeway for most of his career.

Three road wins to then host the SB wow.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

One thing I hate about US sports, the owner being first in getting their hands on the trophy

 

[rumply]

So who was the other genius that tipped Tompa 1-7?

 

[offtherails9]

I'm laughing at the intelligence of the posters saying 'the flag was there', no shit the flag was there, that's not the point. You officiate a game one way for 99% of the game, then suddenly change your track and call it when the games on the line. It's ****ing shithouse.

In saying that LaFleur had a bad day calling plays and some of the decisions. Great season that could've been greater.

Get more judges then. Can’t have uneven calls in the biggest games of the season.

Jack Easterby would be the first if it was the Texans

1-4 in NFC champ games

I actually reckon he’s fortunate not to have made more SBS or it would be more glaring

Get robots and review every play so we never miss a call ?
