LII :::: the super bowl of hate :::: philadelphia eagles vs new england patritos

i think i saw no st snaps all regular season, 1 vs jax, 1 vs phl

meanwhile on the field for 98% of reg season def snaps

anyway, i hear folks here are keeping their cool and the 2nd call to weei this morning was someone demaning belichick be replaced with mcdaniels

its gets missed in all the glory but belichick has lost a bunch of playoff games via being stubborn

Punishment also makes more sense as to why he never saw any snaps - have to think if it was purely strategic, BB would realize his experiment was going bad at halftime and he'd have gone back to Butler or at least began using him on 3 WR sets. BB isn't going to go back on a full-game punitive benching decision simply because the game isn't going well. Though that would imply others knew of the real reason.

going to guess he thought they had enough to win without him. and they almost did!

i think the gashing runs that the pats didn't have the linebackers to stop were the biggest single reason that philly kept being able to keep drives going, in the first half especially, but agholor became a really important 1st down target as those runs went away later so that plus rowe on jeffrey early which probably doesn't happen if butler plays add up to a significant factor

simmons' butler theory: belichick's gameplan is to start rowe on jeffrey. butler reacts poorly to the decision so belichick punishes him by sitting him the entire game.

that would line up with what we know but must've been a real ott meltdown from butler if so

he said "maaan fuck Donald Trump"

so, congratulations to the detroit lions for the official hire of their new head coach, the def coordinator whose team lost the super bowl despite the qb putting up 500y and 3tds/0ints

auspicious

good work kids

belichick's losing his entire brain trust this offseason right?

he wouldn't have it any other way

he's losing his coordinators but the shadow cabal will remain intact otherwise

brady is being traded to cleveland i heard

so is hiring ex-Fisher guys gonna be the new Moneyball

normally questions of how coaches impact individual player positions seem pretty speculative but this particular one is undeniable

wonder if anyone will hire dick lebeau. he's only 80

mordy I won't be at the parade, I'm already going to have missed a couple of days this week, but enjoy! hopefully it'll be less than 58 years til we win our next one

Ertz takes 17 steps and Collinsworth says he thinks they have to overturn it 😂😂😂😂

Trade, pending physical: Patriots are trading TE Rob Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick to the Buccaneers for a fourth-round pick, source tells ESPN.

Maybe they should give a draft pick to Minnesota so they can get Favre as a backup
