I wish 16-0 would never have happened - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

What does this win have to do with the 16-0 season? That was one of the greatest runs in NFL history and this was an ugly win over a division rival. Most Pats fans that I see are pretty happy right now.

There is a chance in 10 years we could resort back to the Patriots of a few decades ago and be BEGGING for a win.

.. or worse, end up like the Jets.

I doubt it.

The team has until December 10th to get themselves together when the big bad Texans come to town.

I don't remember the Pats getting beat badly at Gillette in the regular season in at least 6 years or so and to keep that going they will need to be MUCH better by that time otherwise they won't deserve to be on the same field that game.

As educated football fans, however, I think we would be foolish not to acknowledge that there are different kinds of qualities of wins. In the Super Bowl, that is the ONLY time when the phrase a 'win is a win' really applies because everyone is happy to win the final game (pretty or ugly). As for all other games, however, while a win does add another number to the W column, we do analyze the quality of the win to assess and predict the team's capabilities of earning future victories. A messageboard dedicated to this team would be a perfect place to discuss such matters.

Thank you. I love these fans who are just so thrilled with the Patriots win that they feel compelled to start threads about other fans. Not so happy really, are you?

Get these weak-&@! $&!*! threads out of here. We're Pats fans, we're happy they won, and whaddya know, we might want to talk about the team.

Did we win? -yes

Should this game been tied and gone to OT? Are you kidding me? We just played one of the worst teams in the league, and they are playing in limp mode with all their stars inactive for crying out loud, and yet we had more luck than brains to escape with a W.

Jesus Christ, that was an ugly win.

It's one thing to get into OT with the Niners or the Texans, but with a broken Jets team??? That was one embarrassing performance we out out there.

I'm not missing your point I just doing think it makes much sense. Fans like you are upset that the team they root for had a bad game, but still succeeded in the only way that matters in the NFL.

I could understand if this game actually convinced you that the Pats are on the same level as the Jets, which are definitely not one of the worst teams in the league. If that's the case then all your arguments above make no sense.

The Pats are misfiring and underachieving right now. They needed a W today and got it. At this point that's all that matters. I stand by my previous thoughts that what matters is not dropping another game before the bye and having most of this stuff sorted out after.
