Jacksonville (+7.5) at New England (1-21-18)

[BOTT]

Amendola mvp

[21isSuperman]

I saw a lot of non-calls on the Pats for holding.  They were manhandling the Jags D-linemen.  However, the Jags didn't do enough to win.  While the offensive playcalling was good to begin with, it got really predictable later.  Run up the gut, run up the gut, pass, punt.  Not good enough.

[oldunclemark]

That was Jacksonville's chance

 

Once Houston gets DeShawn Watson back and we get Luck back...Jax wont win the division

 

they had their shot and they were close....but up 10...they just couldnt get it done

Sarcasm? 

He's actually dead serious I can't believe it it's vomit inducing 

[Smoke317]

Belichick knows McDaniels is legit.  He wouldn’t have brought him back if not.  Can’t wait to get him in here.

You did predict that 

They weren’t going to call it unless they tackled someone....and they about did but they weren’t going to let that rush get to Tom.

Jags doing what every team does when they play the Pats in a big game - collapse and fold under pressure. They played to not lose instead of playing to win. 

Cant argue

[buffalo34]

Didn't I say James Harrison would get a big stripsack for the Patriots in the playoffs when they picked him up?

 

At least  got the Jaguars part of my 44-20 score right.

 

And now to watch what team will be carved up by the Patriots in the SB.

[BloodyChamp]

It wasn't the refs today boys. And we deserve this if the best the conference can do is the Jags. Where are the bleeping Colts? Will the Raiders ever rejoin the NFL? Did somebody say Hugh Jackson and Marvin Lewis are still employed? The Pats next game is against either of the 2 biggest SB chokers not named Bill, and I don't mean Bill for Belichik.

 

Bortles sucks. Get Eli, Tom. He doesn't know how to lead a WR. Every over the shoulder throw was batted dow today, with minimal effort.

He made big plays and the 'superstars' in the Jax secondary couldnt cover him

We said that, and it enraged somebody so bad that they tried to make it into a Brett Favre avatar thing.

[BOTT]

SKOL!!

[DraftMaster]

Lets go!!! Jags players tears are priceless!

[oldunclemark]

  New England vs. Minnesota for the big trophy

[Colts_Fan12]

The NFL is a big steamy pile of crap

[richard pallo]

We need a congressional investigation on the NFL fixing games to improve ratings.  Should be easy for Mueller.

Did they steal the Colt's playbook?  That sounds awful familiar.

In the fourth Quarter.. up by 10

[IinD]

They get credit for going longer then most teams usually do. Pitt probably losses by 20 today.

 

Any QB with a little touch on their passes beats NE today. Bottles it's a backup in this league.

What???

Mcdaniels won't do anything special for us. New England wont lose a step without him

[IndyScribe]

Pats showing that you need a good QB to win. Bortles simply doesn't cut it. If only Wentz didn't get injured. He'd have a good chance of saving us.

Yep, especially if the Steelers try to play that D against the Pats.

[BOTT]

This just in: Vikings are a better team than the Jags.

My mom was asking me what was going on with the Patriots when I went downstairs to get dinner (it was the 3rd quarter when I went downstairs). I wasn't watching the game in my room (since the outcome was all but pre-determined anyway) but she asked me what was going on with the Patriots. I told her not to worry and that they'd win. Now to go into work tomorrow and listen to a bunch of Patriots fans be like Cleveland Browns fans for a day and act like they just saw their team win a game for the first time and that they couldn't believe they won when everyone across the country knew they'd pull it out.

So frustrating because they had chances today. Bortles left several great opportunities on the field.

 

They failed like everyone does up there, but they definitely weren't out matched.

True words

[Bluefire4]

Myles Jack's fumble recovery should have been the game-clinching touchdown for the Jags. I don't know how the Patriots sneak away with victory after victory every year in countless different ways.

[dgambill]

CONgrats to Dwayne Allen, RJF, and Phillip Dorsett....Belichick and Brady winning with our cast offs...if that doesn’t tell you they are the greatest I don’t know what would.

It's ridiculous. They wanted Brady in the Super Bowl. I can't wait til he is gone. I know you love the guy but can't root for him.

Yes and no lol this was the best pass rush that would stop Brady and the perfect physical secondary 

[oldunclemark]

You have to get home field on the Pats...like Denver did a couple of years ago.

 

This outcome may have been pre-determined when the Pittsburgh tight end had his TD overruled in week 16

So right.. my wife saw me watching the game in the 3rd. (she doesn't know anything about football) she told me the patriots were going to come back and win. It's just what football does. I should've listened to her. Jax came to play. but the 4th qt is when the patriots like to play. the drama is good

Thank God would have been nice to not have to see the patriots at all tho

[will426]

Nowww don’t start with the Refs Won this game for the pats especially when the Jags were headhunting to take out Gronk then celebrating the hit.

True..Pats won without Rob Gronkowski...this was Jax' chance..and they couldn't hold a 10 point lead

[IinD]

I expect nothing more then a NE beat down of whoever wins this game.

 

No chance they're losing to either of these two. Jax was the best bet. 2 weeks for everyone to put in an all time great gamelan and we got ourselves Tom riding into the sunset as the Goat.

I wouldn’t go that far but he just doesn’t beat himself and he never gets rattled. Belichick was awesome today the half time adjustments were spectacular.
