We sure could have used Randy Moss in this game.....let alone Wright, Warren, Bodden, McGowan etc......

If there's one good piece of news, it's that Brady and Belichick are going to obsess this entire off-season over what the Jets schemed. They'll draft and trade accordingly. And it won't work again, at least nearly as well.

Yeah, and it was made worse by the fact that the OC didn't seem to want to call any plays that would defeat this scheme. every ******* down the jets had everyone pressed up against the LOS and brady only went deep once (a pass that should have been complete).

The mind boggles at how this team allowed this to happen. They knew what was coming from the Jets. And they had a letdown last year against the Ravens. I think Belichick is starting to turn into a playoff headcase.

Randy Moss disappears in every playoff game. I don't think his loss hurt that much.

Let's all hope BB moves on from the Brandon Invisible Tate experiment and gets a legimate WR threat in here either through the draft (yes in Round 1 or 2), not round 3 or lower. Or simply in FA. Tate is clearly not the answer.

Julio Jones might be there for the taking late in round 1.

Hey Rex have you met our new Tightends? Say Hi to Aaron and Gronk !

I would never trade our 1st rounders for WRs on other teams--but I would sign Vince Jackson to a big contract.

Our pass rush is awful.

We need a OLB and a DE.

Plain and simple.

Ninkovich and Banta-Cain should be watching most of the game from the sidelines.

Hate to beat a dead horse and I know it's all spilled milk now, but every time I watch Clay Matthews I want to pull a BP and "throw up in my mouth". Upstater, what was that trade again that BB made on passing on Clay Matthews for the trade down? I forgot the details.

Uh, you don't hate to beat a dead horse, obviously. The fact is, looking back on a draft makes you look foolish. If a majority of Patriots fans hate the Patriots for passing up a player like Matthews because of a draft day screwup, then we have to give back Seymour, McCourty, Ty Law, Mankins, and many others who were all universally panned by Patriots' fans.

Your draft record simply has to be better than other teams, that's it. It doesn't have to be perfect... and by the way, trading down is what has netted the Patriots last year's draft class and this year's.

How in the world can you complain?

The_Riddler

I am only bringing it back up in light of what alot of us have been discussing, which is the pass rush and lack thereof. So it does sound like you would rather have the guys we netted in that trade instead of the potential DPOY and the ultimate game changer known has Clay Matthews. All is good, I know you've been trying to justify that trade for a while now and your sticking by your guns on this one that BB in the end made the right move, I was just double-checking.

all of this, especially the bolded, IMO neither would start on most teams.
