It's not the kind of injury that should affect a QB long-term, unless he's of the Lamar Jackson/Michael Vick variety.

A bunch of tomato cans - save Chargers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Bernard freaking Pollard was the culprit. He’s responsible for the rule change preventing players from going at QBs low. That injury also led to the cursed Matt Cassel/Scott Pioli era... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Pollard also has Welker, Ridley, and Gronk on his hit list.... Losing Gronk for the SB hurt a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Carson Palmer's knee injury in 2005 led to the rule change, not Brady's. Also, did you know in I think 2009 Trent Edwards of all people led the league in roughing the passer?

Also, did you know in I think 2009 Trent Edwards of all people led the league in roughing the passer? Both hits led to rule changes. The “Carson Palmer rule” was the initial rule designed to keep players from hitting QBs low on the initial attack. The “Tom Brady rule” was a modification of that rule. In the play Brady was injured, Pollard had been taken down, and then made a second act where he launched himself low at Brady. The rules committee decided to nix those types of plays. https://www.patriots.com/news/debate-friday-the-tom-brady-rule-142936 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have scored more points. NE dominated us in the first half, so we only got ourselves to blame. Same thing with the Pats and the (terrible) call on N'Keal. Score more points. Hopefully that's plain enough for you. I can't possibly say it clearer. Maybe if I use chickens and big f'n swords as props? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who die on the hill that NE cheated to win their SBs are up there with some of the most pathetically minded people in the world. I mean...deflategate. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Why isn't Belichick cheating now then? You'd think he wouldn't allow his team to be as bad as it has been, if he was some master in deception.

How will the Patriots beat this KC team again in the next few years? By completely restructuring it and then landing a QB that's elite. In other words, this will take at least 5 years, probably longer. And by then Kelce is retired and Hill over the hill. But in the next 5 years, little to no chance. Nobody in our fanbase thinks we will compete for championships in the next few years, we know better than anyone that it's a QB driven league.
