Thanks y'all.. I'm not even sure I know what winning means? but I'd like to thank David, the board, the members of the academy, my wife, my cards... and Andrew Luck for upsetting the Broncos. I couldn't have done it without you.
To the game, WOW, what a classic! I agree with previous comments about that play call. Marshawn was getting just getting warm at game's end. I guess (?) I get their thinking, take a quick shot through the air when everyone expects a run, then pound it on 3rd down.. and anyone's guess on 4th if needed. I'd probably have switched the order and run on 2nd, especially after Marshawn had a nice gainer on 1st down and looked unstoppable from the 1... then maybe given Wilson a run pass option on 3rd.
That said, you gotta give that kid #21 credit. Unless he jumps that route like he does, that little slant/pick combo is a gimme TD. I'm guessing his jump was largely the result of strong scouting/film study, but also hugely just a great, ballsy, aggressive individual play, by an undrafted unknown.
Congrats to the Pats.. and to fellow Woodside HS alum Julian Edelman, who just got to experience the moment all players dream of.
