Brady is the goat...And he’s a Michigan Man
GO BLUE

I like Brady, duh we all do, and he’s a stud. But nfl playoff rules are a joke. Especially in playoffs with loser goes home. Everyone thought winner of coin toss is winning this game. Brady is 3-0 in OT playoffs. Know how many times opponents touched the ball? ZERO. NFL needs to go to college rules on playoffs ASAP. Brady even thanked his captain for calling heads and getting it right in post game interview lol. He knew it meant the difference in who won.
January 20th, 2019 at 11:08 PM ^
Brady had to convert three 3&10s...that’s no joke dude
January 20th, 2019 at 11:06 PM ^
Tom Brady is now 3-0 in OT games in the playoffs. His opponents didn't touch the ball in any of those wins.
January 20th, 2019 at 11:21 PM ^
Yep, lose the toss and it's OVER!
January 20th, 2019 at 11:07 PM ^
Should be a Purdue Michigan rematch. NFL should do a serious investigation of the officiating crew of the NFC Championship game.
January 21st, 2019 at 1:49 AM ^
That is fantastic
January 21st, 2019 at 5:24 PM ^
Only thing that could stop that crew is a freak gasoline accident.
January 20th, 2019 at 11:20 PM ^
Brady = 29 playoff wins, 13 AFC title games, 9 super bowls, and 5 (for now) titles. That is staggering

And a Partridge in a pear tree

In 17 seasons (taking out his Rookie year and 2008 when he missed the season.).
17 season - his team was in the conference championship 13 times. As a Lions "fan", I can't even process that.
January 20th, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
At first I thought that NE would win, but Brady would not be the main factor. He would win in "game manager" fashion behind the running game.
Nope. When it became crunch time it was all Brady.
This NE team could not have won this game with any other QB.
January 20th, 2019 at 11:40 PM ^
Today was, as far as I can remember, one of the most entertaining days of pro football I have watched. BOTH championship games went to OT, has to be a first. Feel bad for Mahomes, but he will have his time to shine. Time for The Michigan Man himself to win it all one more time!
January 21st, 2019 at 1:03 AM ^
First game was a screw job. Another reason to root for the Patriots
January 21st, 2019 at 12:01 AM ^
Unreal! Goo Blue!
January 21st, 2019 at 12:02 AM ^
I'm embarrassed to admit that there were times I was rooting for Henson to see the field over him. Tom terrific.
January 21st, 2019 at 1:31 AM ^
Me too. Ooopsies.
January 21st, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
Win 1 for....the other hand!!
"LET'S GO!!!!"
January 21st, 2019 at 12:13 AM ^
Tom Brady drinks stem cell milkshakes and Belichick let's Nick Saban rent his pool house.
January 21st, 2019 at 12:19 AM ^
I think we’re all running out of superlatives at this point...
January 21st, 2019 at 3:30 AM ^
Good for Tommy, not a NE fan but I root for him. He’s a great ambassador for Michigan Football!
January 21st, 2019 at 3:32 AM ^
9 Super Bowls!!!
Fucking Mind Blowing! 9 that will never happen ever for a QB! He basically would have to play 18 years and get there every other year. Not happening.
January 21st, 2019 at 3:35 AM ^
Tom Brady became the GOAT after beating Atlanta in the super bowl. Anyone who disagrees with the fact that brady is the GOAT is a moron
January 21st, 2019 at 7:53 AM ^
January 21st, 2019 at 7:56 AM ^
Hate the NFL OT rules but what a game.
January 21st, 2019 at 8:02 AM ^
Brady really is the GOAT. He took his team the length of the field twice in the last 3 minutes of regulation, and again in O/T. What a stud!
Too bad it took Lloyd Carr until midway thru his senior year to start him.
January 21st, 2019 at 10:27 AM ^
Sarcasm? It's impossible to tell. It'd be a good joke if 80% of the population didn't seriously believe what you just said about him not starting.
January 21st, 2019 at 8:15 AM ^
With New England defence this season , Lions former player , the leader , I am shocked that they have come as far as they have
January 21st, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
Been over 20 years now since many of us[me included] said, "Drew Henson should be starting."
January 21st, 2019 at 10:33 AM ^
Tom Brady--guts galore.
Two inches saved the Pats--I do NOT know how Edelman didn't touch that ball, and how the replay officials reversed it, although it did appear to miss his thumb and definitely did not touch his arm.
That play, and the inexplicable pass by Seattle from the goal line a couple years ago reveal how much sports is about the very smallest of details as much as it is the incredible athletic ability of the athletes.
And the Rams--will they win the Super Bowl and have everybody talk about a very obvious no call on a very obvious penalty?
Poor Kansas City, though, and Mahomes is GREAT> What a bright future ahead of him.
January 21st, 2019 at 10:49 AM ^
Interesting line here:
"I do NOT know...how the replay officials reversed it, although it did appear to miss his thumb and definitely did not touch his arm."
So you agree it didn't touch him, but you don't know how the officials determined it didn't touch him? Sorry, just made me chuckle.
It didn't hit his thumbs, hands or wrists. There are two angles - from the side and from straight on. From straight on, it definitely missed his thumbs because they were out wider than the ball, but it might have caught his wrist. And from the side, it looks like it might've hit the thumbs (which is impossible as proven from the front angle) but it definitely missed his wrist.
You add the two together and it's definitive - 100% didn't touch him. Pick a spot where it might have hit his hands, and one of the two angles clearly shows it didn't.

Wasn't it a moot point though? You can't advance a muffed punt and NE threw the interception a couple plays later giving the ball back in a similar position, in which KC scored a TD anyway. It was the same outcome.
January 21st, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
I should have been clearer--there really wasn't irrefutable evidence to overturn that call, IN MY OPINION. The refs made the call on the field and although it did not appear to touch Edelman, once again, the replay has to be solid enough to overturn it. In that instance, I didn't see enough, as the ball rolled through his hands, to overturn it.
And yes, correct. I forgot the interception on the next play anyway! Great point.
January 21st, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
Brady is lucky that KC lined up offsides.
January 21st, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
And KC is lucky there was a defensive hold penalty away from the play to negate the Kelce fumble the series before.
And NE is lucky Brady got the benefit of the doubt on a sketchy Roughing the Passer penalty.
And KC is lucky they didn't call PI on the very next play when a defensive back was riding Gronkowski like a horse down the sideline.
And NE is lucky the refs gave Hogan the benefit of the doubt on his crazy one-handed catch that could've easily been ruled incomplete.
And KC is lucky the ball squirted through Edelman's hands into the awaiting defender's arms for an interception that led to them taking the lead.
And NE is lucky they won the toss because I doubt they were stopping KC's offense either.
...
Boiling it down to one play is lame. Both teams were lucky and unlucky all game. Welcome to sports.

Thanks for stopping by, Reg.
January 21st, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
Thanks for having me.
January 21st, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
Tawmmy fucking Brady
January 21st, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Gronk not afraid to block. I think he’s still great for that reason.
January 21st, 2019 at 3:27 PM ^
I hate all of you that are Patriots fans. I wish you much heartbreak.
