getting the details now of all the surgeries needed by the hawks D it's no wonder they were having such uncharacteristic trouble with tackling on first contact.

Probably true, but a lot of players are not 100% at the end of a grueling season, Edelman was playing with a bum hip and he had to absorb huge hits, one of them by Kam could easily have been called a helmet-to-helmet, Stork was nursing a knee issue and was repeatedly smoked by Bennet in pass protection. As for the parade, yea, it could have been done with a little more class, IMPO the Pat's certainly respect the Seahawks but the incident from '12 left a bad taste in their mouths. I fully believe Sherman's account that Brady talked trash on the field during that game but what happens on the field should stay on the field, following an opponent you beat (by one point) after the game when the camera is on him is breaking that unwritten rule. Calling out Revis during the game after he gave up a TD pass (aided by a Ref-pick, smart play) is again, not cool. Brady and Sherman did appear to "bury the hatchet" after the game so maybe that crap is done with. Anyone can certainly imagine how distraught the Hawks had to be after the game appeared to be nothing more than a formality for another SB win was lost but Irvin responding with he was "protecting his players back" was laughable, clearly all the Pat's wanted was to run the one play and get out of dodge, many teams left the playoff's with unexpected quickness this year, none of them (even the Lions) resorted to brawling due to frustration.

Forgot to add that Hightower had a torn labrum that will need surgery but it didn't stop him from tackling Lynch right before the goal line on the 2nd to last play of the gamel

Yea, OK, I did forget about that, I do remember him being in and out of the lineup several times at the closing of the season so I guess that's why. I'll still never get why they just didn't fake it to BM and sen Wilson around on a naked bootleg, the Pat's would probably have not responded to the fake in time and Wilson jogs in.

Yeah, that's not grammar police. That's him trying to help the rest of us to understand your poorly written drivel.

And here is another one defending the grammar police. If you couldn't decipher what I was trying to say, well, you have more fundamental problems. But in real life do you help your friends decipher tweets, or txt messages? And in real life, when your friends get in arguments, do you jump in as well? It seems well, just so "bitchy".

Btw, reread your post. When you are talking about someone else's poorly written drivel. You're post shouldn't be poorly written drivel. Like I said, the refuge of weak minded twits.

What would lead you believe that it was Brady that started the talking trash? I bet Sherman will next say it was Revis who started talking trash, that's why he called him out on the sideline.

I guarantee it was Sherman who initiated the trash talking and Brady followed it up with "what, you guys are nobody" as in why are you talking so much. As we would hear and see more about Brady being a notorious instigator. Like we hear and see Sherman talking shit during the game.

Caroll probably knew that was one of the few things the Pats practiced extensively, along with the Zone Read.

You guarantee this huh? Brady is notorious for shit talking on the field. So, stfu. He ran his mouth and Seattle beat them. Let me guess, you think Reggie Miller wasn't an instigator either right?

No, Brady is known for being crazy on the field and going off on his teammates when they mess up. But maybe you can find me an article or quote about someone else saying he is a shit talker.

You have Sherman's words Brady ran his mouth? Are you hearing yourself. The most notorious shit talker is saying someone else started it? Just look at how much Sherman ran his gums and poked fun at the Pats during the Superbowl.

I'm not believing Sherman over anyone in the league. SO what would his excuse be for trying to get into it with Revis? I bet next you'll tell me Revis shit talked him first.

Ninkovich said he thought it would be a roll pass or moving pocket play based on the formation and what they had done in the past. So they kind of expected it.

Would you believe Suggs? Because, Brady talks mad shit to him.

Yes, that was such a winning reply.

Let me ask you, did I use the comma correctly in that sentence? Lol..

^^^ Weak minded twit posts weak minded retort, embarrasses himself further, and becomes a prime candidate for his very own scroll.

I don't believe Suggs ever said he talked a lot of shit. Just that he was smugg. I'm not saying Brady doesn't talk shit. I'm just saying it's between Sherman and Brady as to who started, I'll take Brady hands down every time. Shit, I'll take anyone in the league over Brady.

Dude, really it's irrelevant, shit-talking goes on all the time in the NFL, it's all about trying to get someone off their game and focusing on their anger at your smack. My only issue is that Sherman continued it AFTER the game by following Brady en route to the locker room. You can't "guarantee" anything as you were not on the field now were you?.

Actually Brady complemented Suggs before the Baltimore game as one of the best defenders playing today, "he plays with the speed like he's been in the league for 3 years, not 12". I think he was trying to butter up Suggs so if he broke through for a sack he would turn down the trash-level LOL.

Suggs is a great defender. I agree Brady wanted to kill him with kindness, why give him anything to focus his hate on to motivate him more. I actually think it through Suggs for a loop.

It's probably easier for Brady because he knows Suggs is jealous of him, his wife, he's even jealous of his hair. I felt so hurt for him when I heard it on First Take. Who admits that? lol

I agree with you. It's the after game stuff that is silly. I don't have to be on the field to guarantee it, I've seen enough of Sherman to be able to.
