So 11 for colts is allowed to stand on sideline for two plays after ejection? No penalties to the colts? What the eff is that about. Get him off. That should have been penalized each play!

I agree play should not have started until he was off the field. If necessary security should force him off, and he should be suspended for the next game.

Also colts spearing players out there no call yet officials calling questionable holding calls. These officials have zero ability to do their job.

From what I remember so were the Pats other than the "ankle" issue that Brady had where he wore a boot whenever around the media. The Pats were simply out played in the game. I also remember a Giants 2nd string DB quote to the Media that they would win and gave a score. Later that day a reporter told Brady what he said and Brady laughed as he said what? the score ended up very close to the prediction.

What I meant to say is...
The Giants were healthy. The Saints are not.

There is zero chance that Sean Payton would have kicked a field goal inside the 5 yard line down by 14 with 9 minutes left on the game clock. But Belichick had no problem doing it.

That'll do it

Well, if Taylor was all that, he would have slowed down for 1 more second to get the clock to the 2:00 mark...

That'll do it

The Patriots did everything right... except tackle the runner on his way to the end zone.

Completely unnecessary...hope he's okay, but he needs to be smarter than that

The other two names on the Saints draft board when they selected Cesar Ruiz were Zach Baun and Jonathan Taylor.

I was a huge fan of Taylor because of the vision, power, and worldclass speed. He is doing what people thought Saquon Barkley would be doing.

Greg Olson is good in the booth.

Bit of an obnoxious showman, and he sort of outed himself a few weeks ago as a Cowboys mark, but he's shown me plenty of enthusiasm, a experienced, intelligence long-running player's perspective on in-game decisions, moments, tempos, different offensive arrangements, though not on Romo's caliber nor does he match his precision, unorthodox tendencies to almost still see how on-field teams read and react to one another.

In the long-term, I'm not sure FOX Sports might not consider moving him to their college football play-by-play commentary teams as his high-spirited, rah-rah instincts and melodramatic foreplay have more a place there then on NFL broadcasts.

He's not as good as Romo, but he's far more interesting, intriguing and likable type personality then Chris Collinsworth, who has been the epitome of smug, self-centered, condescending play-by-play analysis and insight for over 30 years since Joe Montana ruined his second (and last) chances at winning a SB in 1988 with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Don't forget the 2007 Giants. Backed into the playoffs losing there last regular season game to to Pats. Went on a run and played the Undefeated Pats in the Super Bowl as heavy under dogs and WON!

A little over a month before their SB 42 upset over the undefeated NE Patriots, that loss, and it IIRC, in second-to-last game of the regular season, Giants were winning that game, by a slim margin of 3 midway through the 4th quarter before Brady connected with Moss on like 65-yard TD pass to pull the game away, 38-35. Michael Strahan later said that he and most of his Giants teammates believed that night they got New England biggest, hardest, nastiest hits and yet they still almost found a way to win, regardless. In that Week 16 game, Giants defense discovered the winning formula to beating that seemingly unstoppable Patriots juggernaut: apply ultimate D-line pressure as much as possible, because if you have a great secondary, like the 2007 and 2011 Giants did, eventually the strategy will lead to Brady making multiple mistakes, losing his iron-grip determination, and laser-focus, and intensity. The 2007 Giants were also extremely lucky in the regard that Brady on game day, due to his injured extremely.strained ankle, could barely move in the pocket and was a bit of a wounded animal for the Giants rushers coming at him.

That play took my opponent from 11 and some change to 27 points in Fantasy. All they had to do was make that tackle... Oh well.
