From another room, I heard Al Michaels call, ''...wiiiide open, Amendola! Touchdown!'', and knew immediately that someone in another room was watching my favorite play ever.

Such a great play, and per usual executed to perfection. Edelman perfect pass.

I feel like such a casual but I don't recognize the call. Which play?

Two things about that play:

1. Peter King, who was in Gillette for the game said it was the only time he ever felt the stadium shake.

2. At some later date (and I'm fuzzy on the details) Edelman said that McDaniel sent in the play late in the KC game when they were getting blown out and he (or Amendola) convinced Brady to audible out of it, so they wouldn't show it in a meaningless situation.

So excited for this season, just wish football season would hurry up and get here.

I believe this is from the "Do Your Job" documentary. McDaniels was explaining how they called the play in the KC game but Amendola recognized the coverage wasn't what they wanted so he called off the double pass and Brady went to LaFell on the right side somewhere for a short gain. McDaniels said that if they had run the double pass there, he thinks it might not have worked against BAL because they would have had film on the execution.

If Baltimore had covered it properly live, Edelman probably would have just run it behind Gronk blocking.

Also, I love that they had both a play with Hoomanawanui lined up as an eligible tackle and a play with him as an ineligible slot man and called them 'Baltimore' and 'Raven' for maximum confusion.

I'll have to check it out. We went to Il Panino which was pretty good.

Looks like Ninkovich is going to retire.

For a team this stacked, DE looks like a weakness.

Nink wasn't very good last year and I kind of expected he was a likely cut in camp.

Agreed about not much depth at DE but they had some promising development from Flowers and Grissom (to a lesser extent) last season, and hopefully Ealy and maybe one of the rookies will step up and play well.

Scratch Grissom as showing promising development on DE. Looks like he didn't do much more than play special teams.

I think I got him confused with Valentine, who did show promising development last year but on the interior defensive line.

Nink was in serious decline, but losing him, Long and Sheard is going to hurt. Love Flowers, hope Ealy pans out, but relying a lot on youth here.

This thread has died. Gronk says it's time for some feeling good:

Not dead. Season starts soon.

Also, Gronk on race relations was... Surprisingly coherent?

Edelman has a likely torn ACL which would probably put him out for the season.

An MRI is scheduled for Saturday.
