Reich is getting through to Luck and Luck is playing better for it.

I did not love the call, but a better throw from Brisset and we would be talking about this play way differently.

still don't like it. you are correct in that the throw was bad, but why put luck luck in that situation to begin with. in the superbowl when you need a TD for a win and no one is expecting it, ok. playing the fins when you are 5-5 and trying to get a first down, not the best choice imo.

No he isn't. 11 games, 11 TDs is a 16 TD pace.

Fair enough... I stand humbly corrected.

But fuck Gronk.

Agreed on a few things already posted:
- Mack going down too easily - arm tackles really?
- T.Y. not reaching for the 1st down on that early drive. All he had to do reach the ball out.
- Tackling reverted back to stupid
- running into a player does not constitute a tackle! wrap the F up!
- our D seems to go into a "prevent" at the end of the half, we all know what that does
- Stick to the run when it is working, went away from it for a while there

SO glad we eeked that win out. Jeez.

He could score more than one TD in a game. Not exactly a reach.

Hasn't he scored 5 in the last 2?

No, the last 2 games are:

2 receiving TD's vs. Miami - Week 12
0 receiving TD's vs. Tenn (wasn't even targeted the entire game) - Week 11

He did have 2 receiving TD's and 1 rushing TD the week before vs JAX - Week 10.

Last three, he was a distraction against the Titans. Losing Doyle will hurt though because Doyle allows Ebron to be the h-back that he is and not have to block so much.

Why didn't their defense see that. Good catch by Luck though. Maybe he can throw to himself when the other guys get the dropsies.
