More Sally Jenkins:
"Later on, when the shock of this one wears off and the Jaguars zero on just how the Patriots did it — and how they do it time and again — they will start with the fact that the Patriots don’t beat themselves. They don’t make stupid mistakes, they don’t play safe, they don’t squander, and they execute on every small thing, “try to win every route, win every block,” as Amendola said. They make you beat them, and they make you beat them on every possession for four full quarters, not two or three. And even then, you better be ready to play overtime if you intend to pry a trophy from their grasping, stubborn, prideful hands."
The message is important - stay disciplined no matter what the provocation. I saw fragments of the game (was in transit from SFO) but it appeared to me that the Jags - as talented as they were - were playing out of control, with the the yapping, showboating, penalties, etc.
