New England Patriots Thread Mod Warning Post #253

I think down by contact was the correct call, he ripped the ball off the back while they were on the way to the ground.
You cant have contact with an opposing player on the ground, or on the way down, and get back up to progress the football.
And if you take the stand that the player was not contesting for possession when they hit the ground and only took possession afterwards, then it was still in Lewis' possession so should have been ruled down by contact, no fumble in that case.
The call on the field was 50/50, but either way the whistle was correct imo.

Just watched the Tom Vs Time Documentary on FB. Very much worth a look as a Pats fan. Obviously there are some promo elements for the TB12 method but to be fair I'm ok with seeing it from his perspective as opposed to the ESPN "Tom and Alex are biggest snake oil scumbag salesmen" perspective for a change.

Biggest highlight for me is that he has binders upon binders of gameplan notes and he keeps his suspension letter too.

For reasons known only to them and their trash outfit, ESPN have a serious hard on of hate for Brady. Apart from Mike Reiss, I tend to stay clear of their trash. But as someone who works within the constraints of conventional medicine. I have no problem seeing and understanding the very obvious logic in TB 12's lifestyle. One of his main tenets is "Pliability" or basically staying loose and flexible. The more flexible and loose you are, the better your shock absorbing abilities become. Take a look at Ryan Giggs, I remember when he was plagued by hamstring injuries during the early part of his career. He was advised to take up yoga and his hamstrings never looked back. Yoga also encouraged him to live an healthier lifestyle and look how long he ended up playing for. Healthy eating, adjusting the body's Ph levels, reducing inflammation & susceptibility to injuries can be done without the need for big pharma's product range. What Brady's is doing is logically sound imo, but it's very tough to do because it requires a monk-like discipline to do it. Brady has those qualities in abundance, most people don't.

From chemotherapy agents first being discover from oysters, to heart medication being developed from wild flowers. The natural world has given us all our major breakthroughs in pharmacological treatment. Of course big Pharma doesn't want Joe Public knowing that. They want you to buy their tablets with the unnecessary additives. And they want you to remain ignorant to the fact, that the natural world has given them the ingredients to make their bloated profits from. The best treatment for long term pain and pain associated with terminal illness is cannabis. Legalise and patent that as a medication globally and Pfizer, Glaxco and MSK ect would lose hundreds of billions of dollars annually. With their multitude of treatments being replaced by Mother Natures natural remedy - cannabis. Unfortunately the lobbying power of Big Pharma is unrivalled. So thrash like ESPN will continue to knock Brady or anybody who promotes healthier options, to ESPN partners and the very valuable advertising revenue streams they provide.

Anyone remember The Swine Flu outbreak back in 2009? Well of the hundreds of doctors & nurses I know and have worked with. I don't know one that had The Swine Flu injection. Why? Because by quality clinical trials standards, the vaccination was untested, contained mercury and other dangerous agents, which had potentially serious long term consequences down the road. And that's what has emerged since then. Deafness levels amongst kids who received the vaccination is unnaturally high. Never mind the cases of autism, increased Alzheimer's risks, Asthma and long term Gastrointestinal and Respiratory problems. So when The Executive Board of The World Health Organisation was sending out global alerts, to get the Swine Flu vaccine back in 2009. What they not not include in those alerts was 1 - The vaccine was not properly tested under stringent clinical trial standards. 2 - That the vaccine contained dangerous ingredients which posed a serious risk to long term health. 3 - And the last, but the most revealing fact of all was, those very same WHO boards members that pushed for the vaccine. Were themselves holding directorships & significant funding grants from the very drug companies that were producing the vaccine. At best it was a blatant conflict of interest and completely unethical. At worst, what they did was completely criminal. Not that you'll ever have this reported upon on RTE or BBC ect. My apologies, I went off on a rant here.

tl;dr Brady's a smart guy, who knows what he's doing and with his global profile and big fan base. His healthy lifestyle & natural approach, threatens the profits margins of those who want you to live from a box of pills.

Because Alex Guerrero has one bad incident in his past that then the media gets to use that to go all in and trash the TB12 method but tbh I think they would have regardless. Whats funny is that its ok for Michael Phelps or RGIII to sell Subway as health food or LeBron and Peyton Manning advertising eating McDonalds and Papa Johns when you know none of them would dare touch that crap they are selling. You get the impression that TB12 actually practices what he preaches. The main selling points of the TB12 method is diet and exercise and of all the diet fads out there, this is the one that actually has real results; a 40 year QB playing at the highest level possible with no signs of slowing down. Of course its the TB12 method that gets trashed in such a sinister manner.

It never ceases to amaze me how much hate there is for TB12, BB and the Patriots. Even today, Tom cancelled his radio interview on WEEI as another radio host on the channel called Tom's 5 year old daughter an annoying pissant after she was in Tom's documentary calling to her dad that she was going out to play soccer, again she is 5 years old acting like a 5 year old. Boston radio is as bad if not worse than the national media, the biggest sports shows just troll Patriots fans constantly trashing the team and BB's decisions. At times you are left thinking that the Pats are as bad as the Cleveland Browns.

Hating the Pats sells, it trolls Pats fans and it feeds the hate of the haters. The ESPN article about the end of the Pats from a writer with little to no exposure to the Pats organisation using unnamed sources was the biggest story of the Divisional Weekend. Unfortunately the byproduct of all that hate results in overblown incidents or fictitious incidents as people want to believe that there is no way the Pats are that good, they must be cheating.I wouldn't mind if it was honest hate and people owned up to the fact that they hated the Pats because they win as I have no problem with the neutral fan who wants the Eagles to win because the Pats win too much, but it does tick me off when the "neutral" fan wants the Eagles to win because the Pats are cheaters or TB and BB are smug a$$holes. When the Pats win in spite of those folks, it does make those wins a little sweeter.

tl;dr I'll never get over the haters :pac:

You really have to wonder what the hell is wrong with some people to make a comment like that about a 5 year old girl. I really hope that guy loses his job over it.

Nice to see a clean Injury Report! Looking forward to the Game tomorrow night

This is gonna be very tough. Philly are an excellent team, came wait this day has been so long already!!
