Game was over in the 2nd quarter when the defense was playing soft. This is probably the worst team and worst qb the Patriots have faced this year. Not good.

Is there a reason Jack Jones wont hit Fields? Twice in the 2nd quarter he stopped while Fields was still on field. Is this a D Sanders type move of a CB avoiding tackling or trying to avoid a flag?

Look how cute - a Jets fan trolling a Patriots board because the Patriots "only" won 11 games in a season Tom Brady didn't play. You know, because 11 win seasons for the Jets are just so routine. If the Patriots "revert" to 11 win seasons post Brady, well, the bumbling franchise to the South...

New England gets a 3rd rounder just for letting Butler walk via free agency. I don't know what the value of Butler should be, but I do know that 1 (or 2) year of Butler + 3rd round pick > 3rd round pick

Butler hired a personal injury attorney to be his agent, a guy with zero experience negotiating or managing a professional athlete's contract or career. So, yes, in a way it very well may make him incompetent in this specific scenario. I wonder how much of this is Butler or how much of this is...

He gets props for putting up a Dilfer-like performance by minimizing mistakes and letting his defense win the game. Nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend his performance wasn't mediocre - 50% completion rate and under 200 yards. Denver can't run the ball and their QB can't throw the...

I guess part of my disagreement is many on here have already given Denver a win and put them in the AFC Championship game. I think it will be more likely that Denver is one and done. I don't see the need to take risks.

Exactly my feelings. The Patriots lost at Denver with no receivers, horrible ST mistakes, and the officiating in the bag. And it still took OT for Denver to win. Play with a full squad, or don't give points away on STs, and the officiating doesn't even matter. I don't understand the angst...

The Dolphins game (and Jets game for the matter) means nothing for the Patriots. The Broncos game showed that - a healthy Patriots team is more important than playing in Foxboro. They already have a bye and a home game - why risk things for "what ifs"? Sit them all and get healthy.

I think it is closer to < 1%. Even if a judge leans pro management, agreeing with the NFL's position that Goodell can toss a narrowed, specified agreed upon issue that is directly applicable (equipment) and instead use a blanket, coverall provision is highly unlikely. The NFL is saying they...

This game tells you everything you need to know - getting healthy is much more important than home field. When they push supposedly the best team in the AFC into overtime when their biggest weapon by the end of the game is Scott Chandler, and the Broncos had about as good a game on offense as...

Heartbreaking? Not even close. Midway through the 3rd quarter it was pretty clear there was no way the Patriots were going to win. Flag after flag after flag. The officiating was so one sided in that second half, and I'm not even talking the Ticky-tack stuff like running into the kicker not...

Was looking at Week 17 schedules and one thing stood out as really odd to me. Every division plays all their games at the same time, presumably force teams to actually play the games. There is one exception though. The AFC West is the only division that plays their games at different times...

The Colts player dancing in the end zone after bringing a 4 TD game down to 3 TDs is by far the highlight of the day so far. Yay participation.

Right.......because Kraft has demonstrated that his bottom line isn't more important than his fans, the rep of his team, and Brady? Kraft will blindly follow the cash cow.
