Yes line has moved up to Pats giving three
word tho, it's not just Pats today, altho they're obviously the big show
Wash is our nemesis, they have our number & this is an important game to get in a division that could get away from us qwik (it's starting to) and to show Stanley Cup champs that we can beat them -- current update, scoreless after 1st period
on the parquet, we can both snap OKC 7-game win streak, And leapfrog them in the overall -- And in the process  , pull into a tie w/Phila
but really wanna see Pats win tonite, it would put last year's odd outcome into its proper perspective (fluke/aberration/blip on the screen etc etc.....), and cement their legacy as greatest of all time in the NFL....
in short, all three teams will have to be in top-form to make it a clean sweep today -- great times, sports is good ____________________

Goff is a very good player but he looked like a deer in headlights. Maybe because he knew Gurley was injured? Who knows, but the Patriots were clearly the better team with the better coach. Looks like the non-pass interference call against New Orleans in the NFC Championship game pretty much handed the Super Bowl to the Patriots. I think that matchup would’ve been much better.

Agreed. Goff looked like a rookie that had just been pulled off of the bench. He didn't get "comfortable" until he accepted that he was going to have to stand in the pocket and take some hits. And then he tossed that INT which pretty much sealed it. Would have been interesting to see how the more experienced Brees handle it, but then, he didn't handle the pressure well at all in OT of the NFC Championship game.
Great game, both defenses were sturdy, but the Rams just couldn't stop Edelman and you can't win if you can't move the ball.
Have to hand it to the Pats, this has been one hell of a run. Most teams can muster 4-5 seasons of success, maybe. The Cowboys were really the last team to win more than 2 championships when they won 3 in 4 seasons. In the 80s and 90s the 49ers won 5 in 13 seasons. Steelers won 4 in the 1970s. In the 1960s the Packers won 5 championships in 7 seasons. But to win 5 over the course of 17 seasons, with 9 appearances, is not easy in this age of the NFL. Remember when there was talk of Matt Cassel being Brady's successor? I mean, eventually someone will have to take over, but looks like it won't be any time soon. Dude must sleep in a Tupperware container. ____________________

I truly believe that if Gurley was right its a different game. But what makes the Pats the Pats is Billy B's capacity to morph his coaching to match the team his has. Everyone else molds the team to their philosophy. He is the greatest coach of all time. Red Auerbach for the most part had a static team with a static systems.

Pretty boring game to say the least. Gurley basically non factor through the playoffs. Belachek is probably worth a touchdown in the playoffs, that is how much better he seems to be than anyone else out there. Congrats again to the PATS.
It great being a Jets fan and knowing you are playing for a wildcard game before the season starts for the last twenty or so years. LOL

Bowman coached longer and won a ton of games, however...his best winning pct. was at Montreal, .744 (8 years, I think) career (35? years!) .657. Bill's is .740 with the Patriots, .685 including 5 years as HC of Browns. I'm a little fuzzy on the numbers, haven't had coffee yet, but I'm sure Bill's winning pct. is higher, over 25 years no less.
Edited to wiggle some numbers around but after 6 SB wins, I'm at the "yeah, whatever" point of caring.

I'd say Belichick in fball, probably Scotty Bowman in hockey, esp in terms of longevity -- am a homer, so feel Art Ross could be mentioned -- career record 387-290-95, 3 Stanley Cups
then either Red, Lenny Wilkins or Popovich, depending on criteria ____________________

Not sure there were things like salary caps and regional drafts in days of Bowman and Auerbach. Belachek had to deal with those things so building a dynasty in todays world of sports is way more difficult than before.
I dont think anyone can compare to what Belachek and Pats have done. And I am not a fan of the Pats but someone who appreciates how difficult this really is. Bowman never had to deal in that environment.
