That equals 174. The 174th day of the year is June 23 which is the day the UK voted to leave the EU. Coincidence?

Not at all. Per}ectly planned and ele<tro<uted.

Mariota can run but he can't pass. He's like a college AA quarterback.

Ah, sweet irony. The media talking heads kept shrieking that Nick Foles would choke under playoff pressure, but he came through. It was Mariota who choked.

Not you again!:bash:

Yes, me. The NFL forum is for posters who actually follow the NFL. You've done a good job of trolling this thread, but you're done now. Isn't there a thread in the Boxing forum you can contribute to, since that's the only sport you seem to know anything about.

In tonight’s game, Brady completed passes to 4 different white players (Hogan, Gronk, Amendola, and Hollister) totaling 19 receptions for 197 yards and 2 TD’s. That's without Edelman and Burhkead.

He completed passes to 3 different black players (Cooks, White, and Lewis) totaling 16 receptions for 140 yards and 1 TD.

There were at least 2 balls Cooks looked terrible on.....Minimal ball skills....Some of these guys just don’t know how to judge/time their jumps on deep balls......

No wonder I never watch CBS's pre-game and post-game coverage -- Cowher, Simms and Esiason, what a trio of Caste clowns. So glad Simms was booted out of the broadcast booth this season to make way for Romo.

I agree. Tony Romo is alot easier on the ears and very knowledgable. He also gives credit alot more fairly unlike so many
of these caste announcers.

Looks like NE is clicking on all cylinders. Man, if Burkhead comes back and dominates along with the NE O, alot of Trump haters going to be on suicide watch the next day.

Titans had no answers.


Started off with 1st score of game, then spent the rest unraveling . Until at the end it was almost pathetic

Decker was the best weapon for Tennessee, 6/85 yards. We're was he all year? Out with white skin disease I guess.

Awesome win for the Patriots.

True. He’s a smaller WR that does lack ball skills in traffic and can’t leap for the 50/50 ball in the air. But that’s not his game. Cooks does have talent and has 3 straight 1,000-yard seasons since entering the league as a rookie. He’s at his best on deep balls against single coverage, crossing routes where he outruns the CB, short passes along the sidelines that he turns into YAC, and end-around gadget plays. Cooks isn’t a superstar, but he plays his role and with their aging white WR’s, I can see why the Pats signed him. If Edelman and Hogan wouldn’t have gotten injured this year, I wonder if Cooks would’ve had such a good season.

Until Cooks this season, Brady hadn’t had a black pass-catcher (WR, TE, or RB) eclipse 1,000 receiving yards since Randy Moss in 2009.

For the past 5 years (after getting away from the dual TE/slot WR strategy), the Pats have started at least one black WR (Lloyd, LaFell, Cooks) at the left flanker position and paired them with some combination of Welker, Edelman, Amendola, and Hogan. It’s worked pretty well.

What a pleasure to watch Brady and NE operate when they're rolling. And Amendola, man that guy was clutch with all those first down catches. Giving Brady a fresh set of downs is so demoralizing for a defense that is wearing down.

Give Mariota credit though. He made the Pats defense look like the '85 Bears, and that's not easy to do.

Amendola’s 11 catches for 112 yards is even more impressive considering he only played 62% of the offensive snaps. The numerous 3rd down conversions were, as The Hock mentioned, highly demoralizing to the chocolate Titans...

Amendola is such an underrated player. Time and time again the guy comes up huge when it matters.

Tennessee has likely peaked this season and will slide back to its standard .500 and worse, much like Oakland peaked with its one-hit wonder season last year. Mariota and Malarkey is not a duo that summons up images of Brady and Belichick.

OH. They already have the excuse for him getting sacked 8 times. He injured his quad in the 1st quarter.

Mariota injury forced Titans to alter schemes http://es.pn/2Dan76L via @ESPN App http://es.pn/app

It's always an excuse for non-whites, never an excuse for whites.

After Mariota's poor season the mainstream media should be discussing whether or not he is the long term answer for the Titans but they probably won't. They'll probably stick to the narrative they always use for non-white quarterbacks, that they should be the unquestioned starter.

I will always remember the HBO series "Hard Knocks, Dallas Cowboys." Danny was lighting it up in practice and preseason, much like Danny Woodhead. Yet they cut him for an affelet who "looked" the part. That affelet never played again after that season. Also, remember Jim Jones referring to Danny as "boy" numerous times. He would never refer to an affelet as boy. But its ok because Amendola was a diminutive white receiver. Castesystem nonsense all the way.
