Scal I could see the PATRIOTS trying new spiced up plays out of the ordinary but that theory is silly at best. Running plays to see looks they will get to set up future offensive audibles absolutely...gl Scal  have pat+3

Stupid theory and idiotic that Cowherd would say that. In a preseason game before you play that opponent in the regular season you play vanilla schemes and don't show your hand, you don't tone it down when you are fighting for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. It is unbelievable to me  that Cowherd actually thought that. "Take it down a notch and end the winning streak"  So dumb when spoken about the best prepared and coached team in the sport fighting for home field advantage.

Cowherd is a Pats/Belichick hater.  I could see this theory against an AFC opponent in week 16 when seeding is decided.  Cowherd is saying Belichick knows his team & GB are going to the super bowl?  Did you see Seattle play last week?  Cowherd has to play some hype, he's like that Skip guy on ESPN.  

If you "take it easy" you risk your players getting injured.  Don't but Colin here.  But definitely an outside the box theory which you have to appreciate on some level.

Nice Scal,  i wondered where you got all your BS from, now your stealing my pick from last week,  if nothing else my capping suicide in front of everyone has kept you from making your picks as usual.

interesting theory and I wouldn't put anything past a mastermind like belicheck but this falls down for a few reasons.

1) Brady is so pumped up after what happened at KC, he won't be willing to step it down

2) Momentum is so key in this game, you don't want to lose that head of steam you've built up, Robert Kraft said a few weeks ago, the season doesn't start until after thanksgiving so I don't expect the Pats to go easy now.

3) And you can't compare this to the NBA where apart from the 16-82 game comparison, a 7 game series is a lot different to prepare for than a 1 off game.

4) Cowherd talks a lot, its what he's paid to do, by being controversial , he gets people like u at it and gets his ratings.

I hope you win the GB pick. I'll almost certainly be on them with you with my own money.

He can come with the 'culture' references which point to something larger in terms of his social and political views, which can certainly be annoying. I can't change the guy though. 

It's unfortunate. I deal with it. But there's not many good alternatives on the airwaves! And the betting info is OUTSTANDING for a nationally syndicated show.

Been thinking about this.....and while the idea is "interesting" at best...I call bullshit. ANY coach in todays NFL is going to keep his foot to the floor up until week 16, or its time to rest players. NEVER let your thoughts or opinions on a game be swayed by an idiot. Like reading a 3 page write-up on how the Jets will "Rally for Rex" and beat the Bills  Personally...Pats by 9.....we'll see. "Trumping" someone because you joined the forum a couple years earlier is laughable(mvp). Just means you've been making bad picks and self-important/attention seeking posts longer......NOT that your a better capper.....Just pick ur games....post ur REAL record, and if they follow, they follow.....if this is your only source of attention?.........Shut down....step away from the keyboard.....and go outside bro......GOOD LUCK!

This theory isn't about laying down or intentionally risking home field. And yes soda, they were a lock to meet in the WCF and that is not the case for the Super Bowl.

But, what prevents Belickick who might get in a hole early, say 14-3 (and the pack can do that to anyone) from 'going vanilla' with the Playbook.

Even if he did, the Pats can still win! So the players are not laying down.

It's just about foresight and keeping youth team hungry agaisnt a team that has a great shot at beating you anyway.

Why go full bore down 17-7 at the half let's say, lose, show GB everything you have, lay it all out there and deflate your team in upcoming weeks where the players know they actually played their heart out and still lost, materializing doubt in their minds.

Pop avoids this completely when he just sits his big three in big games without a care in the world. Then he beats up in the Rest of the league, fine-tuning his team against bottom feeders, all the while making the good teams think they have one up on the Spurs or "are scared of them."

I could see Belichick doing this.

That's exactly it, Scal. That's what Pop did against OKC that night. He let his guys go out there and give it a shot but quickly pulled the plug in the 3rd when the Thunder were up by 8 or 9 (he saw the handwriting on the wall and used it to his advantage). That's why if the Pats fall behind by say 10, those 3 points will not mean a thing, as Belecheat will pull the plug.

The theory doesn't work for NFL like it does with NBA.  In the NBA you can throw away a game like the Spurs and it doesn't really matter. There's 82 games. There's no margin for error with only 16 games.  If the Pats lose today, they could have the same record as Denver and possibly risk losing HFA if they lose again.

  That's exactly it, nit. You could see late in the 4th quarter that Belecheat and Brady didn't want that win.  They "pulled the plug".  You guys will go a long way in life listening to Colin Cowherd's gambling theories,

Interesting theory but that wasn't it.  The Patriots were there to win the game.

The problem was the Pats d-line couldn't get pressure on Rodgers.  I said the Pats were 0-8 on grass, and their inability to get pressure from the grass, whether it was their cleats or whatever, was a major factor imo.

I also thought Pack got away with a lot of offensive holding, that wasn't called.......

Watched the entire game and no doubt Pats were trying to win...I was on GB and felt lucky to win it....

There was a lot of stuff that wasn't called.  Plenty of times I saw recievers push, I saw Gronk do that on a 3rd down to get open.

I was also on Green Bay and felt very lucky to win it.  Pats make that FG and forget about it.  WIn some, lose some.

That said Green Bay significantly outgained the Pats 478 to 320, so if we got lucky it wasn't like we didn't deserve it.  Could have gone either way.

Interesting-Pats are 0-9 on grass ATS, and they're headed to San Diego.  I'll take a look at it further on in the week.

Pats weren't trying to win the game but held a high powered offense with the top rated QB to 4 FG's in the redzone ?

Yea, ok !!

If your going to apply quess work might as well throw darts at a dart board because it's the same result.

What I think is far more reasonable is when teams go on these type runs the better teams in the league like the Thunder or the Packers are very, very motivated to end the streak and prove all the pundits wrong who now after all those wins in a steak are talking big about how great the team on the streak is.

Hence why the Thunder were celebrating so big after beating the Spurs, they proved the pundits wrong.

I think Colin is on the right team but for the wrong reason, which will lead him  to believe the reasoning is correct  if GB wins and one can use that against him in the future in another spot he brings this reasoning up.


You can look back at my bounce factor thread for that week, I made my largest play of the year fading the Pats, and my largest parlay play of the year, the Pats  who happened to be in an extreme regression mode, which is based entirely on history.

Pats did what most all teams have done over history  this deep in regression do , lose ATS.

I don't see anything unusual about the game.......................
