Anyone else just feel depressed right now?

I'm not even angry at this point, I'm just depressed after this game. Like all the sports fan life has been sucked outta me.

No. I'm looking forward to next week, actually. I love the Pats and can't wait to see them back on the field.

I'll be out and about with Patriot gear on tomorrow all day, except at work.

I just want it to be next sunday night now so we can put this game behind us.

I'm certainly pissed, but by tomorrow morning, I'll be over the loss and looking at the Bengals.

I'm hopeful that BB the coach can fix what BB the GM created.

Somehow, it feels okay that every game will be a complete unknown.

I'll go running with my Go Pats shirt.

In truth, I drank a bit tonight, but the truism remains the same. The 2007 SB loss and the 2010 playoff loss taught me something. Enjoy the game and quit having conniption fits over losses. 18 weeks or what not and it'll all be over again.

I do too.

They just have to earn their trust back from me at this point. I mean we've seen this team struggle and lose early before, but we've never seen anything like this from a BB coached team in over a decade. It's just discouraging

We see these types of games from the team from time to time.

Through the first quarter, this team has some major issues for sure.

How they respond next Sunday night will be telling, that's for sure.

I'm angry, depressed, and sick to my stomach but its just a regular season loss. Get better and come out swinging next week at home. I'll be up at the game for the first time ever and be cheering my ass off.

Sure but losses happen every season. And none are nice to have. This one was extremely ugly. I stil have faith in this team. I'm not giving up and can't wait to watch next Sunday night.

I'm not gonna lie, watching Brady being benched after pick six, his entire career flashed before my eyes. I teared up a bit.

I grew up watching Brady. The idea that the two losses to the damn Giants will be his last shot at another Lombardi is as depressing as it is sickening.

Bruins bandwagon time?
The line on the Cincy game is moving big time as we speak

I'd at least wait for the team to fall 2 games below .500 before thinking about giving up on them. We saw 1-2 and then 3-3 in 2012, 5-3 in 2011, and 2-2 in 2003. Next week is gonna be a critical game.

One thing to remember...9-7 might still win this division.

The only depressing thing is we might be seeing the end of Tom Brady, he's just not the QB he was even last year, you can put it down to the receivers or OL all you want but some of his decisions or staring down 1 receiver is just not right. Remember, his contract is fully guaranteed after this season so if his play doesn't improve then well...

It's only 4 games though so hopefully the benching has lit a fire under him and the Bengals are the unlucky recipient of an angry, fired up Patriots team lead by some vintage Tom Brady.

I am sorry, but it was BB the coach who failed the team tonight. This game was lost before the Pats even took the field. Horrible game plans. Stupid personnel decisions (deactivate Thompkins and Dobson and dress 5 RBs when the Pats ran mostly 3 wide, one back sets).

Shockingly, 8-8 might even win the division.

We are the AFC version of the nfc south right now.

The team has a talent problem, Rob. The coaching has been **** at times, but this is a team that's hurting, talent-wise. Belichick is the de facto King of this team. He buys the groceries. He gets the praise when the team wins, he deserves the blame when the team is completely uncompetitive in a blowout like this.
