The Pats got a complete wake up call then. I remember some young player saying that he sort of thought the Pats could show up with the Pats logo on the side of their helmet and they would roll over the Browns. That domination made Brady, now playing the best football of his career, pissed off, proved to the young guys that they need to prepare for every game, no matter the opponent, and just sent the team into complete domination mode.

Well, it would have been better if they could have figured it out without losing to Fredo, but yep, Brady has been on a mission since that day. On a ******* mission.

“On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson..they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

Certainly looks to have lit a fire underneath the Patriots. Let's hope that continues into the post-season.

Mangini continues to propel the Patriots in his own way.

Losses like that are great teaching tool for coaches with good teams... It always helps remind them they aren't as good as they thought and helps provide a little fire in their belly for the rest of the season.

I am just happy there wasn't a come down game after the jets hammering last monday

102 Pat

The Browns loss could be like the 2004 MNF game where the Pats lost to Miami and it seemed to be a "wake up call" for the rest of the season. There's something really special going on.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

Mangina's entire life is to find ways to screw the Patriots. He cares about nothing else which will ultimately cause him to have a short career as an NFL head coach.

I think it was a great thing now that i look back on it

Nothing like a good beat down to make you fight from what you want to be. For the Pats, it was the Browns game. For the Chargers, it was last week with Oakland. I see those two fighting for the AFC championship in New England. Should be a great game.

West Philly Patriot

Agreed. That loss may have been a catalyst for this team the rest of the way. Lets the young guys know we can't just coast even if we are the "better team" in actuality that label is determined on the field of play and nowhere else.

Go Pats!! Really enjoying the ride
