Eco Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Surely that's it and the Pats when again. That was the most boring SB I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah Lakers won ! That 9 pointer in the sixth quarter won the game for them. Red sox sucks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I only lasted till Half time before sleep was needed and I thought then Edelman is the best player, the only one making space. What an absolute legend Tom Brady is 6 rings is unbelievable, absolutely incredible achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute legend Tom Brady is 6 rings is unbelievable, absolutely incredible achievement Edelman had a good game. The amount of times, mainly in the first half, the Pats kept making the same play and Rams not being able to defend or stop it was frustrating. Pretty much every 2nd or 3rd down it was a 15-20 yard pass to Edelman. So easy. Never seen a team having to resort to punting so much as well. Jarred Goff was utter shite. Can understand occasion may have got to him but he only seemed to wake up in the final quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can understand occasion may have got to him but he only seemed to wake up in the final quarter. It was the defence on both sides rushing to get to the QB so quickly forcing decisions in rapid time, Brady was quicker and his experience told. I’m pretty sure they talked about it on the Beeb mid point through the second quarter, Brady was throwing after 2 seconds, goff was 3 that’s the fine margins. I don’t get why it’s getting slated either, it’s tactical chess I found it interesting to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get why it’s getting slated either, it’s tactical chess I found it interesting to watch Tactically defences were better for both sides than offences but it made it hard to watch. Plus just the knowledge that anyone with an inkling about NFL could see Pats would come good in the final quarter due to their experience. That why I was hoping Rams would make more of a game or more of a challenge to make Pats chase the game. They kept making silly fouls and setting themselves back which was annoying.

Lucas Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Nice to see they managed to win without deflating any balls, whining, pure shithouse luck or receiving all the dodgy calls for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby is the real version of this sport. Well, it's probably the second most richest sport in the world, so you might want to realize that there are a LOT of people who rather enjoy it. The commercials are too many, but that's a good time to grab a beer and go to the bathroom. I'm not sure how people enjoy baseball more than American football. I know there are a lot who do, but baseball might be the slowest sport, IMO, whereas in football there is a lot of strategy. I don't know much about Rugby, as it's not popular here.

I know it is different, but it is a similar concept. American football was derived off of Rugby but with completely changed rules just like Aussie football, but I presume you've never read the history so I'll forgive your ignorance.

Yes I know that, but the concept and idea to win the game is still the same. It's like Aussie rules football, yeah it's a different sport but they are still an ancestor to Rugby at the end of the day. I've seen both sports. I'm not stupid.

Plus if you know American Football history, the first games were played under Association Football rules. It was then changed to Rugby Union, then butchered into what is today’s modern game by the colleges. And no, that’s not from Wikipedia. I’m a massive fan of both American Football and Rugby (in league form anyway). Lets chill the fuck out with the insults as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Didn't follow this season at all. I'm not mad at the patriots winning, quite the opposite. First jersey I was bought was a patriots one, so I've always had a soft spot for them. Tom Brady is a legend, to have six rings is unbelievable. Gonna properly follow next season, I'm so out of the loop. Need a bit of help on who to follow. Used to like Minnesota but I know they aren't on sky much and I can't be following a team I can't watch regularly. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I live in Atlanta, and while we are exciting, we are also hopelessly 'close' to have the talent needed to win the Super Bowl, but something always seems to happen.

ScoRoss Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 3 minutes ago, Blue said: Bollocks, again. I attacked the sport, but that has nothing to do with the whole debate. I wasn't called out for calling the sport shit, I was called out for comparing it to Rugby. I insulted because I am a proud person and I am not here to look like a fucking idiot. I also never once said they are similar sports, just that Rugby is the real version. And if you seriously believe I got offended by being called ignorant, then I can just as easily say you all got offended by me calling him an imbecil. Works both ways. As for the last paragraph, yes I don't understand how people can like it. That doesn't mean I hate people who do follow it, nor does it bother me. I just think they have bad taste. The real version? Frankly, doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
