@ADropOfKoch@barstoolsports Did they have best winning percentage behind Mahomes and Brady? They have 2 appearances in 4 years? This got awkward fast…sound more like alcoholic than sportsoholic with that knowledge
Found it.
Went through all the camera angles. The reason why the Eagles run failed on 3rd and goal from the 2 (which likely would have scored) is because Cam Jurgens slightly false started, but it wasn't called.
He was on top of Hurts too quickly as he pulled, and his hand hit the ball as Jalen took the snap. Caused a bobble, which meant the ball didn't actually get handed off.
@Schultz_Report “Dirty kick” is hilarious 😂 they do it because it keeps consistent with field goal form. Prevents from having to switch up mechanics for kickoffs
Much has been made of the Patriots’ mysterious “Pink Stripes.” How about yellow ones?
I went through more than a decade of TV broadcasts and uncovered a diabolically clever piece of Patriots gamesmanship.
When opposing kickers lined up at Gillette Stadium, the video board displayed a reverse view of the kick, placing a second, offset set of yellow uprights directly behind the real ones.
In windy conditions, even the orange streamers on the video board appeared to point in the opposite direction from those atop the physical uprights, making the illusion even more disorienting.
I found dozens of examples. In the same games, I reviewed 52 Patriots field goal attempts.
The illusion appeared on Patriots kicks exactly zero times.
We actually tried copying the idea when I was in Philadelphia, but the location of the video boards at Lincoln Financial Field made it nearly useless.
It is the perfect encapsulation of the Patriots dynasty. No detail was too small, and no possible edge was left unexplored.
We talked about this tactic and more on tonight’s episode of the Paganetti and Underhill show, out now on Youtube
