I know this thread will be moved probably but as a Pat fan - I am over th loss but just thinking how great the feeling would have been today if we were playing a non-NY Giant team without all that pressure. Last year I couldn't enjoy one bit the 2 weeks. Oh well...till next year. Not easy getting opportunities like we did.

Still feeling sucky....

I hear ya bud. Everything fell into place for the Pats to play at home and they ended up ****ting the bed. On to next season.

This years offseason might be longer than usual which will add to a disappointing early exit before the SB

.......the word around just about everywhere is that the 2013 draft is overall a lame one with no real exciting players to drool over and the 2013 FA class in areas of need here,such as Safety and WR aren't really jam packed with players that could make a huge difference.....(Ed Reed ain't coming here,he'll retire a Raven)

I think the more interesting things going on with this team this offseason to look forward to pass the time away will be more of who stays and who goes within the roster than who is added on.

Still better than missing the playoffs....

My only lament is that football is not year round

The business side of it is year round.

Is anyone considering adopting a CFL team?

The only thing worse than not watching the Pats in the superbowl is having to listen to people complain about all the deficiencies of the team (like there is a perfect team out there without a weakness).

For me, i think it's too close to the lose. if we didn't make the post season or lost in an earlier round, i'd probably fell less disgusted with watching the ravens in the bug game...irrational, but hey, I'm a fan.

Stevan Ridley. Bringing back the art of running the football back to New England since 2011.

Not sure how healthy the Pats would be going into the SB had they beat the Ravens. No Gronk, probably no Ridley, who knows about Talib so would the Patriots have really had a great chance beating the 49'ers tomorrow? 49'ers seem pretty healthy, there is no way I could sit through another SB loss, hearing yet again that the Pats haven't won one since spygate, blah, blah, blah.

It would have been nice for all the SB hype with the Patriots the past two weeks but with the feeling in my mind that the Patriots don't have a great shot at beating the 49'ers tomorrow in the SB. Would have been a different feeling had both the Pats and Falcons won. But since the 49'ers are in the SB then with the Pats players health concerns, I'm all good for regrouping, reloading and making a big run next season.

True and I feel the same. Patriots vs. 49ers would have been epic. The best offense vs. the best defense. However, I sort of knew that it would be hard for the team to come through without some of their key players (Talib, Gronk and Jones) because they are some of the guys that put this team over the top.

If there was a team other than the Patriots I would love to see in the superbowl, it would be the Ravens. Just happy that at least the Steelers or Peyton Manning isn't in it.

It sucks that the Patriots aren't in the superbowl, but sometimes you just got to put aside your love of the Patriots and just appreciate football as it is. After this game, no more football! I love the Patriots and am a big fan, but I'm a football fan first and will be looking forward to the superbowl. A great superbowl matchup awaits tomorrow and will be rooting for the Ravens (I'm from MD and have family there) as it will be the last ride for some of the veterans of that team and it will feel good knowing that the Patriots lost to the superbowl champions.

Stay optimistic, the best is yet to come from this team.
