I still have to focus on breathing… I can’t figure out what happened. I’m playing the “What-If” game, when I should be at the gym. Here are the top what-ifs

  • What if the referees called the fumble recovery by Pierre Woods correctly? Even New Jersey fans saw it was clearly recovered by Woods until the Giants flipped him over and took the ball away. I can only assume that’s not a reviewable play. It should be.
  • What if the Patriots kick the 50-yard field goal instead of going for it on 4th and 13? Gostkowski can hit a 50-yarder in a dome.
  • What if one of three Patriots actually sack Manning on Tyree’s amazing 30+ yard circus catch?
  • What if Asante Samuel brings down the interception at the end of the game?

I’m reminded that sports are a game of inches. There are times when the ball bounces against you. This was one of those times.

    What if Hobbs was half as good as he thinks he is?

    What if Belichick wore the gray hoodie instead of that weird red one?

    Exactly, PTS! I wondered what was up with the formal (and for once clean) red hoodie. Anytime you break with tradition like that you’re asking for trouble. I suspect his days in Foxboro are numbered (because I think the taping thing is going to do him in).

    Hobbs should be crying into a gallon of ice cream right about now and wondering what happened to his game. And Brady’s probably wishing he never made that crack about Plaxico’s score prediction, too.

    Great game for the ages. I would be miserable if I was a Pats fan, but I’m not. I’m a Jets fan, so I’m always in a dull semi-miserable state.

    @BB: I don’t think his days are numbered. I highly doubt he was the only coach doing it and I think the new commisioner realized that once he started digging and then, *poof*, no more tapes!

    One last “if” that will be bugging me until the next time the Pats win the super bowl:
    What if they lost the last regular season game? I bet they would have covered the spread last night easily.

    My spouse has moved on to what-ifs with Lazy.

    I am still just focusing on breathing.

    This sucks way worse than I thought it would.

    :sigh:
