Default Not bad for a rebuilding year....

As may recall this was suppose to be a rebuilding year.

Lots of rookies, gave up the season when we traded away Maroney. Threw in the towel and was looking at next year when we traded away Moss.

Nothing more than a rebuilding year, nobody really expected the Patriots to even compete for the division title.

Just say'in.

But they did compete for the title..won the division and got a first round bye..once you reach that point..you are expected to reach the SB and anything else is a complete failure

Screw that, you don't beat just about every playoff team, get the #1 seed int he playoffs, best record in the entire league, and one and done in the playoffs, and chalk it up to rebuilding.

We are spoiled... Chances at SBs are rare, and we have been pissing them away with some bad playoff performances. 06, 07, 09, 10...

No excuses...they sucked in all 3 phases of that game....

ST's....autrocious coverage.....Defense....to many long gainers on short passes.....Offense....Brady had all day and his recievers couldn't get open?

and when he had to get rid of it fast due to blitz...where were his safety valves?


Jets used blueprint beating Colts to beat Pats...and BB had plenty of time to get a plan together to defeat that....

Pats miss Seymour and Warren on DL and need some heavy duty pass rushers.....and Butler might as well be invisible....

BB better use those 6 picks to bundle and move up, or at the very least, use them all....and not trade DOWN.....

agreed, it was a rebuilding year, still is, but when you blow out a team 45-3, you should be able to beat them a month later.

+1. This loss hurts, but we have much for which to be thankful and optimistic.

Complete failure? WTF are you talking about?

For complete failure go check out the Carolina Panthers or watch the highlight video from our 1990 season.

The young team overachieved. Played better than they really should have. But the team is young and growing they will be even better next year.

Absolutely. This still is BB's best coaching job ever. It's ridiculous what we accomplished this year. Getting first seed after dumping off Moss, with a gazillion rookies and a bunch of castoffs starting. Jets brought their A-game, and we made it worse by laying an egg on offense. The loss sucks, but what an amazing season this has been. Just think what this team is going to look like after the upcoming monster draft and when we get our injured starters back next year.
