I'm over it - New England Patriots Forums

Sure the loss sucked, but it's not like we lost the Super bowl.

I was pissed last night, but after listening to the talking heads a bit this morning before turning on the satellite radio for some Hair Nation, I've moved on.

We are still 6-3.

We've all but locked up the AFC East.

I feel really good about the rest of our schedule, except for the Saints. But I'll worry about that when the time comes.

And I Billieve that if and when we face the Colts in the playoffs we will win.

I'm staying positive and really looking forward to this weekend against the Jets. I just hope the rain holds out until the game is over.

You know, I think the worst part about the Patriots losing is the crap I have to hear from people about it. I don't even talk trash to people, before or after games, and I still get texts / facebook messages harassing me. But aside from that crap, this game is just another notch in the loss column. Nothing more, nothing less. There is way to much time left in this season to be locking us in the #3 / #4 playoff spot. This is an unpredictable game.

How many people here thought the Broncos would have dropped one to the Redskins? Or the Titans going 3-0 after losing to the Patriots?

Agreed! Losing that game just pissed everyone off because the Pats threw the game away through their mistakes. Because it didn't work the 4th and 2 call was a mistake but I LOVE Belichick's swagger. Right or wrong he's got the stones to do what he thinks is best for his team. Totally respect that! The Patriots dominted the Colts for 3 quarters. I'd LOVE a rematch in Indy. Sadly I don't think the Colts will make it that far. I really don't. Not impressed!
Two trends concern me with the Patriots.
*Brady is throwing a pick every single game in trying to force the ball to Moss in double coverage. That has got to stop because sooner or later that's going to happen in a huge spot during the game and will cost the Pats big time. Tom has got to show more patience and better judgement. We all know how great a receiver Moss is but if the play isn't there the play isn't there. Need to maintain possession and keep the O, the real strength of the team, on the field.
*This defense wilts in the 4th quarter on the road. Gave up 4th quater leads in NY...in Denver....in Indy. If this team is winning anything this year that's got to stop. This D has got to step it up in a big spot on the road.

Well spoken friend.

We need to move on. I remember feeling 100000000X worse after the AFC game and the SB. Remember, that was the end. There was no waking up the next day to discuss the next game. It was over, a long offseason begun with failure. So lets be lucky this kind of **** happened now so the team wont let it happen again. They still have enough time to get better, anything can happen.

People thinking this team is a super bowl lock should temper their expectations. Unrealistic expectations is why this board goes insane every W-L. We need to get perspective. I'm not bashing the team, but no they're not the certain things they once were in do or die situations.

I'm no longer going into games thinking no way they lose, I understand now it's honestly 50/50 at any day in this league. Sorry for the long rant but maybe if more people got this perspective they would be alot less stressed?

yeah me too. Seriously folks have you looked at like the top 10 threads, they are all about the Colts game.

We lost, woop-d-doo. It was not playoffs, it's one game.

One game.

Enough about Sunday man, we must have like 20 threads on it. Let's move on to the Jets. No team on our schedule is gonna dial it in so let's refocus and get better....

To add to this...

People complaining about calls and all that non stop. Nothing is going to change the outcome, it's over. The game will not be replayed. People need to comprehend this and move on seriously. It's like talking about nothing and there's 3892493482 threads on it.
