If the Pats weren't stupid as fuck, and kicked the ball with 6 min and then 3 min left, the Pats wouldn't have had to wait till 9 seconds left to try to tie the game. We lost because we were never going to get the 2pt conversion, so if we kicked earlier, we won. Denver's offense was horrendous late, with New England getting like 3-4 "three-and-out"s in a row. We went down the field and scored a TD at the end, meaning if we just kicked one of the two times before the last drive we would have the leading score

Also Bill should have kicked the FG with 6 minutes to go instead of going for it. Big mistake.
It's completely different lolHurricane Season said:
It just comes off as bitterness when you say a guy doesn't "deserve" to be in the Super Bowl. The Pats have a solid defense, and the greatest coach in NFL history. They made some adjustments, and played well in the second half. Did Brady not deserve to go to the Super Bowl because he played like dog shit for three quarters?
Couldn't have stated it any better! Being a Cards fan, it was so hard to watch Palmer continue to get worse as the time went onBwareDWare94 said:
First of all, congratulations to the Carolina Panthers. Not only were they an absolute juggernaut in a fairly strong conference (top heavy, yes, but the top 5 teams were all pretty good), they rolled through the playoffs like it was nothing. Even when Seattle was charging back last week, it never seemed like Carolina had a chance to lose.
You have to appreciate a team whose star player goes out of his way to make memories for kids every time he scores a touchdown. You have to appreciate a team whose emotional leader on defense has suffered 3 ACL injuries to one knee but has come back over the past few seasons as an absolute stud while playing next to another stud in Luke Kuechly. You have to appreciate a team who took a career bust in Kurt Coleman and let him float around in Center Field all season, picking off more passes than any Eagles fan ever thought was possible while he was stinking it up in the City of Brotherly Love. You have to appreciate a team that is working with Ted Ginn and Jericho Cotchery at Wide Receiver. Not since Brady's early days with guys like Troy Brown and David Patten have we seen a quarterback and franchise rely on career castoffs at the WR position on the way the Super Bowl. Yes, Kelvin Benjamin is a lot better than any #1 New England had back in those pre-Moss days, but he's not here this season, and they're still owning a conference. What an excellent job by Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers over the 2015-16 NFL season, and it looks pretty likely that they cap it off with a ring. How can anyone BUT Cam Newton be named MVP? It just wouldn't be right.
On to Arizona...
Bruce Arians mismanaged this entire scenario.
Oh, we're traveling across 3 time zones? Let's get there the day before and give our guys no time to adjust.
Oh, they know we like to take shots downfield? Let's keep heaving it up there even though they've obviously schemed to prevent that.
I mean, seriously, how do you get out-coached so thoroughly by Ron Rivera? I just can't imagine how so little thought went into the Cardinals' game plan. Sure, they don't want to get too complicated, but Carolina really should have been undefeated coming into this game, so perhaps that should have been a hint that Arizona might have to throw some curve balls at the Panthers.
And let's not forget Carson Palmer, who gave his best Andy Dalton impression, missing several easy early throws that could have led to extended drives that might have changed the game completely. It's OK to be jittery, but to have it cause such poor throws on easy throws? Carson Palmer blew about 5 first downs by himself in the first quarter. Props to Carolina for their pass pressure but Arizona can't pretend that their quarterback didn't piss this game down his leg.
Arizona now has to get into the Goff, Lynch, Wentz discussion. They won't get Goff, assuming he goes at 2, but Wentz and Lynch both have big arms that would fit perfectly into Arians system, and both could easily go after the first round. If Bruce wants to coach Arizona for the foreseeable future, he needs to get his young quarterback in place this offseason.
