Of course.

The Manningham plays remind me a ton of Santonio. Fuck up a makeable play, and then proceed to make a subsequent play that is an all time highlight.

Easy Mac · 02-05-2012, 08:44 PM

well well

Why wouldn't they just take a knee on 2nd and 3rd

hoopsguy · 02-05-2012, 08:45 PM

Love that Pats yielded the TD in that spot.

Julio Riddols · 02-05-2012, 08:45 PM

Manning just don't fuck around when shit needs to get done. Up to the D now.

Didn't Thurman Thomas get a free touchdown vs the Cowboys? I can't remember.

EagleFan · 02-05-2012, 08:46 PM

What was he doing? He started to take a knee then acted like he wasn't sure if he should.

molson · 02-05-2012, 08:47 PM

Would have been great if the Pats did that 2 minutes earlier.

kingfc22 · 02-05-2012, 08:47 PM

Well, he essentially hedged here- tried to let the defense stop them but since it didn't work, he let them walk in

SI

GrantDawg · 02-05-2012, 08:47 PM

That will be the goofiest SB winning touchdown in history.

spleen1015 · 02-05-2012, 08:47 PM

Fuck you Brady. Step is up Defense!

sterlingice · 02-05-2012, 08:47 PM

Branch with a big drop there

SI

Easy Mac · 02-05-2012, 08:47 PM

Pats have the dropsies

Lathum · 02-05-2012, 08:48 PM

In defense of Bradshaw you try running full speed then stopping on a dime

sterlingice · 02-05-2012, 08:48 PM

Bad time for the Pats to get a case of the dropsies

SI

Very true- who really thought they'd let him walk in

Man, shades of Ben from last year.

sabotai · 02-05-2012, 08:49 PM

4th and 15 or so against the Giants D? Eh, I give it 50/50 chance of converting.

EagleFan · 02-05-2012, 08:49 PM

Here We Go!

oh... thanks for the beer, dog

Easy Mac · 02-05-2012, 08:49 PM

I don't understand the Bradshaw TD. An automatic td is much better than an iffy fg

Mike Holmgren did it with the game tied in Superbowl 32. Most coaches don't do it because it's unconventional and they're afraid of losing their job. Bellichick should be different.

sabotai · 02-05-2012, 08:50 PM

See....

sterlingice · 02-05-2012, 08:50 PM

But of course. Frankly, I'm glad- I want this to come down to the last play one way or the other

SI

Julio Riddols · 02-05-2012, 08:50 PM

Incredible throw.

MIJB#19 · 02-05-2012, 08:50 PM

This is football.

Lathum · 02-05-2012, 08:50 PM

Arg. Get the stop

Julio Riddols · 02-05-2012, 08:51 PM

Has a super bowl ever ended with a hail mary throw?

At the 1 yard line it'd be like an XP. I'd rather kick that with 3 seconds left than give the ball back to Brady. XPs are made at almost a 100% rate.

Isn't it an all-but-automatic FG from there?

IS

rowech · 02-05-2012, 08:52 PM

So why not put out 20 guys on purpose, force NE to run the play, get the 5 yard penalty but cause the clock to run down further?

I'd rather do the given thing(the TD) and force the other team to make the plays required in order to make a TD.

spleen1015 · 02-05-2012, 08:53 PM

Awesome.

Grats Lathum.

EagleFan · 02-05-2012, 08:53 PM

I thought the same but I'm sure the referees wouldn't allow that and would not let the play begin.

Julio Riddols · 02-05-2012, 08:54 PM

wow what a nice finish to a really good game overall. Not a lot of fireworks, but I love seeing Eli just do it every time he gets the chance. Clutch in the 4th quarter.

stevew · 02-05-2012, 08:54 PM

SHOW THE FUCKING PLAY AGAIN.

Lathum · 02-05-2012, 08:55 PM

Wow. Just wow. Speechless.

It's kindof an interesting take on the strategy, a lot like fouling in basketball when up by 3

SI

rowech · 02-05-2012, 08:55 PM

Close game, weird scoring that ends up in a totally normal looking 21-17 score, but not really all that great of a game in my opinion.
