If the Patriots would of made the playoffs in 2002

Just Ian acting like fnord, everything is a joke.

Ban Ian! Oh, wait!

 

[OhExaulted1]

I think you mean would "of", could "of", should "of"...

Punctuation matters!

 

[OhExaulted1]

They could of cared less, persay.

Even though the Pats beat the Chiefs in week 3 of 2002, that game really exposed the run defense. The Chargers took full advantage in week 4 and they went on to lose 4 games in a row. Belichick stated that he learned an important lesson that after winning the Super Bowl; he should made more personnel moves than he did. He was, perhaps too loyal to some of his guys, to the detriment of the team. I think it was in the book Patriot Reign.

Not "persay," per se.

It's a doggy dog world out there.

Here is how I see every year.

2000 - No. Rebuilding.
2001 - In retrospect they had a very good team and by the end of the year deserved to be in the top 5 ranked. A clear over achievement though.
2002 - Talent wasn't there injuries aside.
2003 - Took care of business. Did what they should have.
2004 - Same as above. Clearly the best team that year.
2005 - They were the best team but a 3peat is hard to ask for
2006 - Not good enough on O. Too bad cause if they got past the Colts it be an easy win and were still one of the best teams
2007 - Should have won.
2008 - lost year
2009 - rebuild
2010 - rebuild but a very good team.
2011 - a very good team but not the clear top. Right up their with a few
2012 - Same as 2011
2013 - Same as 2012
2014 - The best team and they won
2015 - The best team and bad luck with injuries.
2016 - TBD

Glad they didn't. Enabled to have the record for consecutive playoff wins of 10

Not "would of," would HAVE.

They would have won or lost.

I hate to correct people on their English, because I'm sure I butcher it here and there. But that one really gets me. I see it quite a bit, but usually let it go. I was about to correct this one before I read your post.

2008 - 11-5 but missing the playoffs should be a crime against humanity.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

I'm just saying that its silly to dwell on you're past. There certainly the type of team to be chomping at the bit once they're anger is peaked.

I saw what you did there.

Always trying to help the little people.

 

[Off The Grid]

It's truly horrifying to consider what I would do to people who employ "would of" instead of writing like intelligent Human Beings who deserve to live, if I was absolutely sure I could get away with it.

 

[Off The Grid]

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, or would've, could've, should've.

I despair to think that in 50 years, "I would of told him" might be acceptable grammar.

Don't be crazy ~ that simply ain't gonna happen.

Not "would of," would HAVE.

They would have won or lost.

People still treat internet message boards like a legal document with the grammar policing huh?

Agree with pretty much everything except 2005, no way they were the best team that year

There should be a comma after the word 'policing'.
