Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2713172, member: 780"] That game last night was similar to Saturday's in the way it played out. But that's not an uncommon script on football. When you have to resort to flea flickers, you are pretty much on the ropes. We've been conditioned to expect miracle comebacks after watching Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady do it repeatedly. But Eric Dungey is not Joe Flacco (at least not yet.) Now when it doesn't happen, we are almost surprised by it. It's just one of the reasons my lifelong, 50+ year love affair with the NFL has cooled. It's the predictability of the games. When New England is behind by 1 and gets the ball at their own 35 with under two minutes to play, I KNOW what is going to happen. There's no suspense except maybe how Brady is going to do it this time. [/QUOTE]
