The Patriots are in the SB only because a DL line up offsides on a game ending interception


And a phantom roughing the passer call that was followed up by an incomplete pass being ruled as complete

They had a few lucky breaks

Yep and then multiply that by the number of plays that are licky and not at the end of the game. Then multiply that by all the games in the season.

It's a great game.

Kansas City sports radio guy made a good point this morning. The most devastating injury for the Chiefs this year didn't even occur to a Chiefs player. He said the Chiefs were finalizing the details for a trade with Seattle to acquire Earl Thomas before the trade deadline when he suffered a season ending injury. How big of a difference would he have made on that defense yesterday?

Their greatness is in being in position to have fortune break there way so often. People forget how many times they’ve lost in the playoffs on a single play, and 3/5 SB wins were due to incredible strokes of luck. 

They’ve just been so consistently good and been near the mountain top so often they’ve broken through quite a few times.





and some refs were awful and/or inconsistent in both games.

It’s not luck over a large sample pattern. It’s skill, coaching, and discipline.

Think of the potential legacy difference between Brady and Brees as well. Brees could have won his 2nd Super Bowl and now Brady has the chance to get 6.

It really is crazy.
