Similar to the best and worst Monday Night Football thread. Which would be your favorite game by the Pats and which would be your least favorite? For me, I would say my favorite was in 2010 when we beat the Steelers on the road. Such a good game. My least favorite would definitely have to be the infamous "4th and 2" game in Indy in '09.

So what about yours?
 
Good idea for a thread...i dont know who the OP was for the Monday Night one last week,but that as a good one as well ;)

My favorite Sunday Night Pats game was the 2011 37-16 beating of the Jets,it was another masterpiece in the long line of Jets beat downs the past few years and got the team sort of even for getting knocked out of the 2010 playoffs.

My least favorite HAS GOT TO BE the Halloween game at Pittsburgh in 2004 when a little known rookie QB named Ben Roethlisberger passed well all night and the Steelers defense had Brady for lunch as they beat them AND ended the longest winning streak in NFL history with the Pats finishing at 22 games straight.

Thank you! I was just thinking today about which were my favorite and least favorite SNF Pats games, haha. Yeah, I can't remember who the OP was on the MNF thread either.

I actually forgot about the 2011 beat down of the Jets! That sure was a good game.

I can't say that I ever saw the '04 game against the Steelers, but maybe that was a good thing, haha.
 
1994 at Colts.

Bledsoe was on fire that night, but never found the endzone. Matt Bahr ended up being the hero kicking 4 FGs, and the Pats D held the might colts offense led my Don Majowski, to 10.

EDIT: The 2004 game against the Steelers was a 4pm game, not SNF.

Week 2, 2007 against the Chargers.

After all the garbage during the week about Spygate, how the Pats couldn't win without 'cheating', and Norv Turner being ridiculously overprotective of his team's first 15 plays, the Patriots dominate the Chargers on national television.

Here's the GDT: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england.../61360-official-pats-chargers-discussion.html

Yes that is my favorate also. My least is from 1993 I believe and the Pats lost to the Jets 45 to 7.

O.K....I thought it was SNF....my bad

But then again it did end by sunday evening ;)
 
Best:2007 vs the chargers. Thought they'd beat them but didn't think they'd destroy them :eek: . And lol@LT who said before the game they'd beat the pats 9 times out of 10.

Honorable Mention:vs the Bills in 05, just because Bruchi's return. That was a fun night.

Worse:2009 at the colts. I remember joking about running up the score up 24-7...the worse part being that Faulk probably did have the 1st down if they could have reviewed it if the pats didn't waste timeouts.

1978 back when it was rare for the Patriots to be on national television and just weeks after the Daryl Stingley injury ABC had a rare Sunday Night game and Grogan led the Patriots to a a sweet win over the Raiders. 4th and 2 would be the worst
 
I have an odd one...2006 vs the Broncos. Almost-Patriot Javon Walker gashed us for 130 yards and 2 TD's. Meanwhile Tom Brady had to throw to Reche Caldwell and Doug Gabriel, it was the famous Tom Brady 'Body Language' game. Just yuck all around that night.
 
Can we count the last two Super Bowl losses? They were on a Sunday...
