Yea its funny how stopping the run and being able to run the ball at key points in the game ended up being the difference.
Brady didn't even have to do shit. Hell, they could have put in Gostkowski at QB and they would have won this game. The hilarious part was the after game interview with Brady when the woman talked about balance and he just gave her this crazy look. Like bitch, balance? I had 13 completions and no TDs, and our RBs had 6 rushing TDs and over 200 yards rushing. Nothing balance about it....lol

That is what wins in the playoffs. QB's still have to make key conversions and plays, but in the end your defensive line and offensive line will determine who wins the game.
Also today was a familiar sighting, an Indianapolis QB throwing a lot of pics in January, at Foxboro.

How about Blount? Cut by Tampa Bay, picked up by Belichick and now he's the starter for a team playing for a Super Bowl. He's been their MVP the last few weeks. Typical New England type of signing. Low risk high reward.

Same thing with Talib. He cost them a 4th round pick and a 5 million dollar extension. That is a steal for what he does for that team.

Love or hate Darth Hoodie, he builds a helluva team.

Andrew Luck's time will come for Indianapolis Colts, just not now - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/indianapolis-colts/post/_/id/3443/lucks-time-will-just-not-now)
“Mistakes from the first quarter to the last series,” Luck said. “It was indicative of how the game kind of went for us, for me. It starts on my shoulders on those picks. It stinks.”
Hope next year with Gruden coaching him on leadership, RG3 takes ownership like this. When things go bad, they should start with the QB, fair or not. Of course, this specific instance Luck threw 4 picks and had to say it. RG3 should just learn to take more blame even when it's someone else's fault - just taking it for the team.

Can't run block and didn't play big last week either. If you are a great player, you just don't completely disappear like Graham did against Seattle.

Yeah I think he's a good player not great, that word gets thrown around way too much
