According to all of the so called experts there are only two cerebral motherfuckers in the NFL capable of studying film, implementing a game plan based off the tendencies of their opponents and making halftime adjustments when necessary. Everyone else just runs the same shit week after week regardless of the results. When I listen to talk shows or watch NFL related material on TV I am led to believe that the Pats are the only organization with a plan b or plan c just in case their fool proof plan a doesn't work. Sean Payton, Andy Reid and Omar Epps don't break down film with their coaches and game plan accordingly? Harbaugh,Garrett, and Fox never go in at halftime and make adjustments when they are getting their ass kicked. Last week after the Broncos beat the #1 rated defense in the NFL with their Pop Warner style passing attack all I heard was Bellicheck will not allow that shit to happen on his watch. Sure enough Bellicheck came up with a plan to shut that shit down and Tebow was left to sing his church hymns by himself on the sidelines. With everyone having access to the same film why didn't the number #1 defense in football employ the same strategy that the 31st ranked defense used to defeat the Broncos. This week all I hear is how are the Ravens going to stop Brady, Gronk and all his weapons as if the Ravens don't have the footage or the intelligence to do so. Prior to beating the Broncos last Sunday the Pats hadn't won a playoff game since 2007. What happened in 2007 you asked ? SPY GATE. Now I am not saying that the Pats are doing anything illegal, but it is strange that they are the only team in the NFL where you mention the head coach as if he was a franchise player out there performing on Sundays. I don't know what kind of technology Bellicheck uses to break down film or study opponents, but when he is the only person getting credit for doing so there is a problem. This leads to the ultimate question is Bellicheck the smartest person in the room or are all of his contemporaries just to dumb, lazy, or stubborn to do the same thing. All I know is this. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed have been called two of the most prepared players at their respective positions, but when faced with the task of going into Foxxsborough and winning they are discounted. I guess when they play the Pats they just use their god given abilities and forsake their film watching that they normally do for every other opponent.You would think that in the biggest game of the year two of the smartest players in the NFL would study and find some tendencies or weaknesses on the Pats offense wouldn't you. Why is it that the Ravens coaches get no props for defensive scheming when the Ravens win, but Bellicheck gets all the credit when the Pats win. Just food for thought. Enjoy the games this weekend and just remember if your not cheating I mean preparing to win you are preparing to fail.
- The old adage that defense, a running game and not turning the ball are the keys to victory over is just as relevant today as it was 10 years ago.
- The Jets went to consecutive AFC Championship games using this formula, but when they talked themselves into believing that Sanchez was the next Dan Marino they failed to even make the playoffs.
- According to Skip all Tebow did was win games. Correct when he was taking care of the ball. When Tebow started becoming reckless with ball the Broncos lost too. When he didn't, they won.
- You probably think that the pass happy Pats are the exception to the rule right. Wrong, they lead the AFC in turnover ratio with a plus 17.
- The formula that has worked for years in the regular season, works even more in the playoffs. 3 of the 4 teams left (Baltimore, SF, and NY) rely on their defense to set the tone for their team, not their offense. Where would the Giants be without their pass rush? At home like the Saints and Packers? The Ravens defense won them the game last week with 3 ints when their offense sleep walked their where through the game. The Saints had three receivers gain more than 100 yards. But when the air show was over it came down tom turnovers. The Saints turned the ball over 5 times and were out gained by 96 yards on the ground by the Niners.
- The Giants sacked Arod 4 times and recovered 3 fumbles.Playing at home in Lambeau Field the Packers were reduced to looking like a dome team.
- So don't be fooled defense still wins championships even in this Super TecmoBowl era brand of ball.
- I will have my predictions a little later... Gotta call my Wise Guy buddies and get some info.
- I'm out like Arod and his failed attempt at repeating.
