AFC Championship - Patriots Hold Off Jags (2 Viewers)

[NutterButter]

What a game! 

3 great games in a row.   

 

[badmojo1006]

What are the odds the Jags can mount a long 12+ play drive to run out the rest of the clock? About .004%? Ok

This is where Bortles earns his big boy pants

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

It's 100% mental.  You feel like you're beat but the majority of time if you just turn around instead of trying to chase you're actually in better position than the receiver.

You've played a lot of DB, I take it?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

This is the Atlanta game all over again.  Early on the front 4 is getting great pressure so the D doesn't really worry about scheme.  Just play coverage and let those 4 guys do their thing, no need to blitz or anything.

But then the pass rush starts to fade and no adjustment is made.  No blitzing, no more pressure, so Brady just sits there all day as guys get open.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

What a game! 

Much better than was anticipated..

 

[JaxBill]

Blake, 20 isn't going to do it.

23 probably won't either

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Fun game to watch.  Worst broadcast I've ever heard.

How can you not be into Romo's pure joy and excitement for the game. You're a monster

 

[Anarchy99]

If one defense needed to make a stop, I would bet on JAX. 

 

[The Frankman]

Well this is up to the Jags coaching staff and Fournette. If they can continue to make Bortles look competent they hold on and win.

If they let Blake Bortles influence the game it's over, Pats win.

 

[skol asylum]

Semi-dozed off a little there until last few plays. I see we have a game.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Much better than was anticipated..

 

[Ditka Butkus]

Time to take a shot

 

[FreeBaGeL]

You've played a lot of DB, I take it?

Not that it matters, but I played QB and am long-time friends with several of the DBs that were on the Gators' 1996 National Championship team (as well as one that played for Louisville).

 

[ShamrockPride]

Big boy throw right there.

 

[identikit]

They gotta do something different than a Fournette handoff.

 

[sho nuff]

Huge play in 2nd down backed up.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Nice snag Hurns!

 

[need2know]

Bortles int coming

 

[NutterButter]

They gotta do something different than a Fournette handoff.

It does set up the play action

 

[Slapdash]

How can you not be into Romo's pure joy and excitement for the game. You're a monster

It's obnoxious to hear him squealing and yelling.   

 

[renesauz]

Gotta throw as NE is keying on Fournette

 

[ShamrockPride]

They running every single first down. Switch it up!

 

[CapnJB]

How can you not be into Romo's pure joy and excitement for the game. You're a monster

It's true.  All of it.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

I'd like to see Grant.. that guy Makes chunk plays

 

[Billy Bats]

Still still snapping the ball with :10 on the ola clock. 

 

[skol asylum]

No need for that deep throw.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

Holding

 

[ShamrockPride]

Thats a flag tho.

 

[Arodin]

Still still snapping the ball with :10 on the ola clock. 

Planning to leave enough time for the comeback once NE gets ahead next possession...

 

[falguy]

I now see why Romo never won the big games. Gets way too excited.

Much better in his current role.

 

[The Frankman]

So Marcedes Lewis didn't get held?

EDIT: Bortles missed a wide open guy. DOUBLE WHAMMY.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

 

[Osaurus]

Jags getting Pro-Bowl arrangements 

 

[skol asylum]

Still still snapping the ball with :10 on the ola clock. 

Noticed that. Don't know why teams don't do a better job killing the clock.

 

[Riversco]

Jags are just a play action pass offense.  Pats shut everything else down.  Punt.

 

[Man In The Box]

Still still snapping the ball with :10 on the ola clock. 

Probably smart at this point. They’ll need that time after New England scores here. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Nice of CBS not comment or give us a decent look at either PI on Lewis.

 

[Insein]

Pretty good game

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Brady comin'

 

[Slapdash]

So Marcedes Lewis didn't get held?

EDIT: Bortles missed a wide open guy.

Sure looked like both of these things happened

 

[JaxBill]

Sigh

 

[Gachi]

Oh well. 

The thought of the pats not making yet another SB was fun while it lasted. 

 

[NutterButter]

Nice of CBS not comment or give us a decent look at either PI on Lewis.

All part of the conspiracy.   This goes all the way to the white house.   

 

[Ditka Butkus]

It's imperative that Jags get QB pressure this series

 

[Dedfin]

LOL of course no PI, of course.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I'd like to see Grant.. that guy Makes chunk plays

He was making plays early and they just went away from it.

 

[McJose]

This is the Pepsi with zero compromises.

Oh shut up.

 

[renesauz]

So Marcedes Lewis didn't get held?

EDIT: Bortles missed a wide open guy.

Romo said so but seemed he came "wide open" pretty late in the play...was well covered at first and the pass came out less than 1/2 second later....to the other side of the field

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Well we all know how this ends.....sigh

 

[Joe Summer]

Over/under on PI calls this drive: 1.5.
