How is it that the PATRIOTS scored 28 points in the second half with supposedly properly inflated balls ? Answer that. One of those 4 second-half TDs was set up by an interception -- a 13 yd drive involving 0 passes. Another TD drive involved only 3 short passes (22 yds total). Nothing completed "downfield." Luck is more of a "downfield" passer; Brady mixes it up...and went short passes almost all the way in 2nd half when he threw it. Another TD drive involved a 6 yd pass + a wide-out screen which Edelman turned into a 23 yd gain with YAC (Yards After Catch). The TD itself was scored on a short pass to an eligible lineman, who nobody covered ... he rumbled 16 yds ... most AFTER the catch. Blount ran for 40 yds on that drive. So, again...no completed downfield passes for Brady in the rain. That leaves only the second TD of the second half...LaFell had a short pass catch for 9; Gronk had two short pass catches for 7 and 5 yds; and Gronk had another short pass that he -- as he usually does -- got significant YAC (16 yds). Brady did throw ONE completed pass downfield the entire second half -- it was on this drive... to Edelman for 22 yds. Hey, when you're ahead...you really don't need to throw the ball downfield much...when they tried...incomplete except for the one pass to Edelman.

Once again, he admits the Patriots destroyed the Colts 28-0 in the second half. Still can't understand what that means.

Moronic behavior by someone who pretends he doesn't understand what that means, makes the poster look dumber than ever.
