I hate the politically correct NFL and I hope that lawyer sues their arse and exposes the corruption.....
Not so. In the 2nd half, the Pats scored once on a short-drive TD set up by an interception; on that drive, Brady threw no passes.
Take away that TD, the Pat offense scored on 3-of-5 drives in the 2nd half; in the first half, the Pat offense scored on 3-of-5 drives (so the same in terms of scoring drives)
Secondly, take away a 30-yard Brady pass to Vereen in the first half (if Vereen wasn't able to hold on to such a softened ball in pelting rain), and the Pats wouldn't have scored that drive.
No score that drive, puts the Pats up 10-7 at half instead of 17-7.
It was only when the Colts were down 17-7 that they essentially abandoned their ground game, which, up until then, was gaining 5 yards a pop.
In a pelting rain, the ground gain is essential.
'Twas the two-score lead that moved the Colts out of the ground game...dangerous to do in such weather.
Would the Colts still have lost? Perhaps. Would the game have been closer minus the softened balls? Probably.
Very good post cherry
Nicely done
For many Freepers this is about Brady’s great time and their sorry one
Hey I lived in Bud Adams ghosts head so I can say that
Go Saints!
They have been doing this for some time now, that is why the NFL was tipped about it from the Colts!
Since when is playing by the rules being 'politically correct'?
