The Fix was in with New England today Bellichek style!!

[JimFiestSux]

Up by 3 with 3 minutes remaining and you throw the ball on first and 3rd down 50 yards downfield, come on. You run the ball to make them use there time outs. Bellichek how much did you make offshore today?? You're a scumbag. 4 or 5 plays inside the 5 yardline at end of game and nothing near a completion!

Jim, pardon me for using your thread, but LOL. We see the same kind of stuff every Sunday. Today is no different than any other. We win some, we lose some.

Hope you have a nice night.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I had New England BIG!!!!

 

[JimFiestSux]

I'm having an OK day and a great night is in store for me. Just the way it was done. Calling a time out after each down at the goal line with seconds remaining, I understand you don't want them to score, but something looked really weird the last 3 minutes of that game. IMO.

 

[JimFiestSux]

Then you need to call Bellichek and tell him THANK YOU for betting yourself too.

 

[TheGeneral+]

I do see your point and I see others talking about the KC game being fixed by the kicker too(Like he knew it would come down to that, why didn't he miss the FG or 1st xtra pt?). I had KC, but I was prepared to win or lose and keep the emotions in check. Gambling and not having control of your emotions is terrible stress and bad for your health. I had NE as well and was ready to chalk it up as another loss. Just went my way. We get the calls as often for us as we do against us.

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

Jim the General is right. Tough ****.

 

[harrington]

Wasn't trying to rub it in Jim, it all evens out in the end. I've been on my share of bad beats believe me. Good luck buddy.

 

[SportSavant]

for the record.... I was joking

 

[joez148]

General, in regards to that KC game, why did Jax go for the 2 points on that final TD. There was less then a minute left in game, being up by the 5 or the 6 is no difference at that point.

 

[TheGeneral+]

Good position to practice I guess.

 

[wilheim]

I don't know about any fixes

but the Patriots quietly win their record setting 20th straight game. Showdown next week with the Jets.

Why was Bill calling timeouts with 20 seconds left and winning by 10?

He did not want Seattle to score period at the end

 

[sportsbet]

Eagles have done something even the mighty Patsies couldn't do:

5 wins in a row by double digits. Last team to do it? 1999 SUPER BOWL CHAMPION St. Louis Rams!

Eagles have NEVER trailed in 20 straight quarters...I think we have a really good shot to be New England's Daddy this year. Willy Fly Eagles Fly...on the road to VICTORY!!!

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Of course Belichek did not want to let the Seahawks score. The timeouts did not save any clock for Seattle. The Pats just play a different style than many are used to. The Johnson catch was a great effort on his part.

Jax went for 2 because 2 FG's would beat 5, its that simple...I know its not going to happen but you have to go up by 6 instead of 5, even with one minute left...

4 still beats a FG....

There was no doubt NE had the cover on their mind in the final secs...

 

[Journeyman]

A game that was tough for me was the Eagles scoring a TOUCHDOWN AGAIN, while running out the clock to kill a teaser...This is the 2nd time they've done this to me this year...

Running it out and driving all the way down field in the final couple minutes, when all their doing is running the ball....Yikes

JMan I know that Westbrook TD was funny...I was screaming at them all game because they couldn't run block to save their lives. Then finally he gets outside and they block for him around the corner and whoosh he's gone. I have him on my fantasy team and I really needed that TD.
