Some interesting tidbits on the "miracle" Manning/HGH retirement 2015 season...(you only have to be the 33rd best QB)
I was on the the Patriots fan site...gleaning information about their kicker being put on IR. I remembered him missing an extra point in the AFCCG...which was his first miss in like 3 years...which I always found "odd"...even as it happened in real-time.
Turns out their fans were complaining about the worst coaching decisions of the Belichick era and they think he tanked the final two games of the 2015 season on purpose...they lost to both the Jets/Miami to finish the year. This ultimately gave HGH home field advantage. I had never connected the dots as I dont follow Patriot cheating scum...but Brady/Belichick losing back-to-back games to close the season is suspicious.
This was on top of the only time I have ever see the Patriots get screwed in the final quarter of a game...against Osweiler.
The AFCCG was the game where TB ignored a wide open Gronk to tie the game...

"It's possible that Brady saw something else during the play, of course, but man, it's tough to see not throwing Gronk's way with that much open space in front of him, especially after the back-to-back catches over the top of multiple defenders Gronk had just made."
Patriots Karma is coming...just like Horseface.
This was a manufactured win for Manning...and the Patriots played along.
