hopefully we do better next year.

Pats going 12-4 in 08 (no records broken) plus a SB is way better then an 18-1 disappointing 07, no?

And win they did, unfortunately our lovely local media (TOMASE, I'm looking at you, fatboy) decided to publish a "bombshell" that had no substance whatsoever the day before the Super Bowl, and I kind of think the air got taken out of the sails a little bit. A little mind you, the Giants played the game of their lives and were the best team in that game, unfortunately the Pats looked more beaten down than fired up from the opening drive of that game, and I will forever detest the Herald and fatboy Tomase for doing that to this team this year.

FWIW, it was a beach volleyball game, not flag football.

And as BP points it, it was league-sanctioned.

Yes, it is. Although a bye would still be nice to have, and I'm not sure that 12-4 does that anymore.

You guys had a heck of a run and played great until playing below your standards in the SB. Weird b/c I hear a lot of pats fans say that the Pats will be extra motivated for next year and the NFL should watch out. Its like some of you feel that that factor alone is going to put the Pats in SB 43

I think "some" of us feel like we are Patriots fans, and that we hope our team is in the Super Bowl every year. With the QB and coach we have, it's not the weirdest thing to hope for, either.

Wes Welker is good for like 8 wins alone, anyways.

P.S. did you know that this is a Patriots forum?

Just figured it out. I hope your joking about the welker statement. I like welker a lot but he is a really good #2 WR which puts him around 15-20 among top wr's right now

I wonder if reporters will ever realize that their job is NOT to sell newspapers, but to report the facts

Feel free to quote me when the Patriots win less than 8 games in a season with Wes Welker starting.
