Do you feel like last year DEN loss ?

[italian pat patriot]

honestly i feel the same bad feeling...

i am not able to see if was worst this year then last year...

but probably this year is worst

we could have been to the Super Bowl and try to revenge 1985...

pity...

i still can not forget we were 21-3...
what an opportunity we lost...

 

[chunkypony]

i think i feel worse than I did last year.

 

[PATSNUTme]

Right now worst. But, I'm very proud of this years team. And I think I'll feel better about it after finding more details about what went on during his game.

Last year I was at the game and was drinking. The drinking continued once I got home since I couldn't sleep. The next day I was hit with one of the top 5 hangovers I have ever experienced.

Yesterday I didn't drink. I was very depressed but not nearly feeling as bad today for obvious reasons.

Last year against Denver, it was our really first big loss since the super bowls, so I was crushed. I knew we shot ourselves in the foot and that upset me more than anything. This year, obviously, I am taking the loss hard, especially since we were one game away, but this year you kind of got the feeling that sooner or later, the ball may not bounce in our favor like it once did. Being penny pinchers when it comes to players and our lack of depth at certain positions only took us so far, and the Colts made that evident last night. Eric Alexander? Rashard Baker? Come on.

 

[BlitzFritz]

I feel better.
last yr, we sucked and gave it away.
this year, we went down swinging

Maybe it was the Donkey's doing, since they'll always be the team I hate the most; but last year was massively worse.

 

[JoeSixPat]

I felt worse last year.

Although I didn't look for excuses, with 5 turnovers last year we handed the game to Denver.

I almost feel better knowing that the Colts sucked it up, came out of the locker room down 18 points, and implemented a great gameplan that strategically prevented our Defenders from regaining their wind.

Manning's always disgusted me because he never showed any sack in the past.

Well yesterday he and the entire team showed a helluva lot of sack. Two great teams played yesterday - it was great entertainment.... one had to win, one had to lose.

We pick off that one last bobled Indy pass and we're celebrating a victory, but I feel no shame in the valiant effort of this team to overcome a lot of adversity this season and in the playoffs.

This year I think the right football team won - I didn't feel that way last year.

Same here. I hate the Broncos a lot more. This year, we were beaten by a very, very good offensive team and I can live with that more than I can live with being beaten by our own turnovers.

 

[RayClay]

Apparently, the Patriots defense had guys throwing up and cramping due to the flue.

Last year, they had enough injuries they shouldn't have been in the playoffs, yet they gutted it out.

So I'd have to say I feel the same. Damned proud of the team and lucky to be a fan of a team that always gives their all.

Our defense, which was excellent all year just wore out, but left every ounce of effort on the field.

 

[italian pat patriot]

yesterday after the hafl i was so excited, so happy...

and then...crac...

our defense collapsed due probably to various reasons but still how can we gave them 31 points in two quarters ?

bad feelings my friend...

probably i feel worst now then after Denver

we were near to play another Super Bowl...

 

[RayClay]

We have lots of money and picks and I think we fix our problems.

 

[jman924]

I feel worse. Last year at Denver, nobody but the most opptimistic fan thought we would win that game. We were so beat up it wasn't funny. And then when we started to move at will against them, I got some hope. And then we fumbled away the game.
This year, no one gave us a chance to even get out of our own division. Our personal movements were critisied and this was our chance to prove them all wrong. Then we blew an 18 point lead. Then Brady threw that INT on our last drive. He just doesn't DO that.
We had gotten so far ahead by running the ball and dominating defense. Then second half: 5 carries and vanilla defense
But we'll be back next year. We are in great shape for next year despite what the talking heads say.

 

[teamplay]

I feel so much better than last year!

Not good, mind you, but last year the Pats LOST via turnovers -- their own mistakes. This year an amazing performance by the Colts knocked them out, and the Pats went down fighting to the last 20 seconds. Tough to take, but nothing to lament except disappointment.

i am optimistic too for the future but this loss, infortunately, is heavily bad
worst then the one at Denver

this year it was the AFC Championship

Stop this penny pincher stuff. It's just wrong as can be.

 

[upstater1]

This one was much worse.

4 points and 2 minutes away from our 4th Super Bowl guaranteed victory in 6 years.

Yesterday's opportunity will NEVER return again in my lifetime.

A divisional loss is a divisional loss. But the NFC is weak this year, and we were oh so close to the Lombardi trophy.

We knew the Colts could score and knew our Defense was thin, at least I did.

The colts have learned to be patient on offense and that makes them scary.

Let's build a defense to beat them, because they are the greatest offense now.

We can do it!

i agree with you and i remember this summer when you was 'worried' about LB...at the end you was right...

 

[pats60]

Much worse this year.
We was 4 yards away from glory
