I don't get why people think Christine Michael, who has not done anything in the NFL, will be a threat to both Frank Gore and Marlon Mack.

Exactly!
The sleeves and seams just feel off, and call me crazy but the numbers are smaller too. Reebok football jerseys are dearly missed, by at least a select few. I still wear my reebok most gamedays. I wish i could get a reebok nfl custom jersey with 12 and luck on it. If anyone knows where to aquire online, post link!
The numbers are TINY. I'm so mad that I didn't get a Reggie reebok back in the day. Most of my jerseys are the cheap kind, with a Manning, Sanders, Clark stitched but all my other ones are screen printed Nike (Luck, TY, Reggie), or the screen printed mesh for Reebok (Marvin, Freeney, June, Manning). I have a Baltimore Colts custom Manning jersey too made of that same material.

Although our color rush jerseys look arguably the best, i hate the look in game. I love nikes shoes but wish they had left the jerseys to reebok. My reebok 18 wears far better than my luck jersey. So... I will be another guy at the game wearing his old PM jersey.
Yep, Reebok is way better than the Nike ones. I sit down on the couch and it gets all bunched up and weird vs just flowing naturally by Reebok.

1/7/14 is the date of the Colts comeback vs the Chiefs in the playoffs. Not sure why that's relevant now though.
This is my only guess as well, but yeah not relevant.

I would be surprised if that happens. You don't see "Revis" & "cheap deal" in the same sentence very often.

How many backs will make the final roster? Who will they be? With Michael's skill set, this smells like practice squad for Mack potentially.
LOL

what a shock, patriots fans dont like people calling this a choke
everyone has pretty much made up their mind about this, and it is a matter of opinion
That's Boston's little brother complex for ya.

What if the Seahawks decided to run the ball there and the handoff was bad, or Lynch got popped and fumbled the ball. Is that not a possible outcome as well? Then the narrative is "everyone in the world knew they were going to run the ball, that was too predictable and the Patriots were ready for it".
But when people try to make the case that the Patriots were 'gifted' 2 Superbowls, it undermines the job they did clawing back from the two biggest deficits in Superbowl history.
If they fumbled it would be the biggest choke for sure, but not the worst play call.
They were gifted two Superbowls, all Seattle had to do was run Lynch and all Atlanta had to do was not put the ball in the air when in field goal range, and again after getting the ball back. A whole series of gifts, like Christmas morning at Trump Tower.

By the way, I think his first name is pronounced: Kristin and NOT Christeen.
I could be wrong but I think I remember Buck and Aikman pronouncing it Christian.
Either way, he's always hyped as a fantasy sleeper then has never done anything. Don't really expect that to change here but good competition nonetheless.

Had the Seahawks defense not blown a 10 point lead, the game wouldn't have even come down to that final play at the goal line. Not counting that they needed a circus catch on their final drive to even get there.
That's the bottom line...For all the controversy over not giving Lynch the ball, their #1 ranked, "historic" defense, should've been able to hold on with a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter. Instead, Tom Brady went off on them and led a comeback.
They weren't "gifted" either of those SB's. If not for Brady's comebacks, the Pats lose both of them. Atlanta and Seattle should've been able to hang on with large 4th quarter leads, and no one would be having this conversation about play calling on offense.
Everyone on that defense was beat up, needed surgery including a guy that broke his arm in the game after intercepting Brady. It was not a very historic defense that game

Better than...? What? And did you read the full post you replied to or only the first sentence?
Meant to say then*. He had great offensive stats but there are clearly omitted stats that contributed to him not being graded as high as the other four.

Besides the point, but there is really no reason that Brees isn't on that list besides his defense sucks. He broke the single season record for completions, led the league in yards with another plus 5000 season, had the 2nd highest completion percentage, was top 3 in TD's (behind Rodgers and Ryan, who are there), and had a top 5 passer rating over 100 (where 3 of the 4 ahead of him were Rodgers/Ryan/Brady, who made the cut here).
It's almost egregious.
Brees should play better than, plenty of people have % defenses including us.

riiiiight, it was all a gift...
but apparently Seattle moving from the 50 to the 5 on 1 play because a deflected pass happened to land in the gut of a receiver lying on the ground isnt a gift?? really??
and tyree somehow making a catch stick to the top of his helmet isnt a gift and a fluke??
Wes Welker dropping a pass he catches 99 times out of 100 isnt a gift and a fluke??
point being, when you take off your pony colored glasses and look at the whole picture, flukes even themselves out.
and if anything, it was Atlanta who was given the gift in the 1st half. Patriots were ahead comfortably in yards, plays and time of possession. If not for 2 red zone turnovers they have the lead (21 pt swing as the pick took 7 off the board for NE and directly put 7 on for ATL)
If the queen had balls she would have been a king. Every pass you mentioned was a great play that the offense had no choice to do given their situation, except Welker's. He gave the Giants a gift, definitely. Saying Atlanta was given a gift for making those plays is a joke lol.
Not running Lynch was the dumbest play in superbowl history, aside from Atlanta even putting the ball in the air after being in field goal range before the wheels came off. Just be happy you got two SB's gifted when some people don't even get to play in the game.

So I laid out the realities of all the relevant statistics and the situation (as others have) and your retort is "no it was the worst call ever".
Actually it was a perfectly fine call that went the wrong way and the only fact to dispute it is that one CB recognized the play, one CB jumped the route and made a great play, and one QB threw a bad pass that made it vulnerable.
I'm glad you took no time to have to no real argument besides "everybody thinks it is".
It was the worst call ever in the biggest moment, ever.

Now time for finals. Does Northwestern do 3 smaller semesters per year? Most people are done with college by mid May.

1. They drove down the field off a pass to Lynch before the 2 minute warning and then Kearse catch (which was about as much of gift as anything in that game).
2. Running 5 yards against a different formation isn't the same as running 5 yards goal line. It's a fact that Lynch got stuffed most of that game. It's a fact that Lynch was very bad in short yardage situations that year. He's a good player but he was overhyped because Peterson was injured and he was the best back in the best team, along with his press antics. He wasn't some no brainer lock like people try to pretend he was.
3. Calling a pass play on 2nd down was the most efficient call they could make given the clock and the time out situation. It was the only time you could make the team guess and the only way you could have gauranteed 3 chances instead of 2 (which is significant). If its incomplete there, then you have two chances to run with Lynch and don't have to worry about the clock.
4. That entire season no passes were intercepted in that position on the field. So if you are keeping score, the odds of an interception were low, Lynch's short yardage situations stats were very poor, and the most efficient clock management tactic was a pass. Everything you can actually measure before delving into hyperbole supports the pass.
5. The only reason that ball was intercepted was because Butler made a great play he jumping the route AND Wilson made an off pass when he should have protected the ball more. If Butler is a fraction of a second slower or Wilson places the ball even a couple of inches closer to his receiver it's at worst an incompletion, realistically a TD.
The only reason everybody "knows" it's a bad call is because of the outcome and media hysteria.
It was the worst call in history, but I'm glad you took the time to write such a ridiculous and long winded response.

They marched down the field via the pass. There was a swing pass to Lynch that he turned into a 30-yard gain to start the drive. They picked up zero yards on the ground until that second-to-last play.
I'm just saying, it's easy to sit here and say "terrible call!" knowing how it all ended. At the time, calling a pass play on that down was not that ridiculous.
It was so ridiculous and everyone knows it. You were given a gift, on top of the gift you got this year. Just be happy.

Hooker's probably in the same boat if not worse to be honest. At least Wilson is getting some work in right now, Hooker has yet to practice.
Yea, he has a better excuse though because of surgery. You'd think after getting drafted you wouldn't show up out of shape if healthy.

Stinks to hear that about Wilson, but there is plenty of time.

NOTE: This post is a NOT a response to akcolt.... but the website has a glitch in it that I cant't seem to get around...
For whatever it's worth, the Colts.com website does not list Mack at what he officially measured at the Combine, which was 5'11" and 213.
He's now listed at 6'0" and 210.
Not sure why, but that's what the website shows.
Only a difference of an inch. My drivers license says 6'0", but my doctor, and in my heart, know myself to be 5'11".

The slant was not the right call, I agree with that part. Too much traffic and too risky to throw it inside. But I don't think it was outlandishly bad for them to throw there.
It was second down, and the Seahawks had one timeout left. The clock was running. If they get stuffed on 2nd down, they're forced to call their final timeout, and then they almost HAVE to throw on 3rd down, with no timeouts left.
Just to reiterate, Lynch ran for a loss or no gain on four of his five attempts from the 1-yard line in the 2014 season. Only punched it in once.
He just got 5 yards the play before, they marched down the field that drive, everyone is gassed. It's incomparable to how he did from the 1 earlier in the season. You have the best RB in the game at the time in your backfield in that situation and just got 5 yards the play before, you run it. If he gets stuffed, you can run it again or throw it if you want to.
It will never not be a horrible call, please stop saying it wasn't.

Thanks, I've been starting since high school (2003) and would usually get one for Christmas every year. I stopped recently though simply because I have enough and I don't like the new Nike jerseys. I have so many old hoodies and old t shirts but my casual outfits in recent years consist solely of golf polos in nice weather and quarter zips in the cold weather so I've been shifting the wardrobe towards that since you can wear it for lots of things. My brother and cousin gets Jets jerseys every year. Their closets are where Jets QBs go to die lol.
