I don't think that picture really says much of anything right now. I mean, did Edelman slip while being blocked? Because from a still image, it kind of looks like that, and yeah, I think you'd be hard pressed to penalize someone for that. https://youtu.be/nKLkj0FzoEo?t=564 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to argue they should be stricter on helmet contact, okay. But you characterized it earlier as blatant helmet-to-helmet contact, so yeah.

He has spoken on the subject. Let us say that Brady made a poor decision shortly after a fletcher Cox kicked his butt on a Hail Mary. If he loses in 2 weeks and runs away from Goff the please crush him. What are you talking about? What did I supposedly Quote Nick Foles of saying? I said "Brady made no contact I'm aware of" during or post SB which was the question asked to me? You have anything to suggest otherwise, by all means? My original point still stands. Bradys not secretly meeting with Mahomes, had they lost. Period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always going to be people better than other people, and isn't simply whittled down to amount of hours worked. 95% of folks at the pro level works hard. You just don't hear about it because they don't have stacks of accolades. Doesn't mean they aren't working just as hard. Wasn't sure if you were aware if other factors. Didn't seen so. Felt obligated to educate you. My bad. I mentioned other factors in the first post you replied to, so apology accepted. Brady and Belichick are better at their jobs in large part because they work harder than others, and have for many years. I'm surprised this would even be remotely controversial. Work ethic, like running speed or arm strength, is a talent. And yeah, not every player and coach has the same level of work ethic. Belichick's and Brady's superior work ethic as a coach/QB team is, in my opinion, a top reason why they have been able to dominate for two decades in an age of supremely physically talented players in a league built for parity.

You don't know how hard anyone works though unless you literally visit every facility and observe. You don't know their methods either. So this logic is all based on a false assumption. Did Bill Walsh work his boys harder than Joe Gibbs or Bill Parcells? There is zero way of knowing that. And the final results aren't the validation either. Or else **** Vermeil would have a zillion titles for apparently how hard he pushed his boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other team in any other game people might have at most said "I don't like the call, but I understand the rule". I was with a ton of friends watching that game and they were all debating that catch and I said "you know they changed the rules specifically to make things like that a catch". Silence. They knew.
