Holy fuck. I cannot believe what I just saw.
(no I didn't see the game ... I did hear them win it in overtime ... both times)

:lol:

You should save some of your anti-NFL ammo. Upsets happen in every sport and I think the Patriots are probably better than the Browns.

Im not really anti-NFL past joking with the baseball-football rivalry.

I almost got double knocked out of the survivor pool yesterday!

Texans taking Patriots to the limit in a shootout? What the fuck

There's parity in the NFL because for the most part individual players don't need to be freakishly talented to excel at their positions. Levels the playing field.

Hmm, never heard that one before. Thought it was the salary cap.

Accumulating talent doesn't mean much in a league where guys are knocked out for the year all the time. Anyway, schemes and coaching make up for talent deficits more often than not. I can't think of the last time the "most talented" team won it all. I don't even think we use that term that often in the NFL.

I think it's the teams that get the most talent for the best price in regards to the cap. Teams that hit on #1s and get 4th and 5th rounders who contribute.

Some of it is coaching.

Salary cap + high injury rate.

after I was sitting in the stands baking in the sun for the whole first half... my first reaction upon seeing him slow down early was maybe he was just exhausted because it was too fucking hot
