Pure will to Win by #12 and the Team having the best leg in the league (Ghost to be good)

But the injuries just Keep coming and coming;

Did Slater ever come back out?
Edeldude is at least 6-weeks per one of above posters and maybe IR
Hope there were none Else, but TB has got to be sore after a couple of strange (for him) decisions moving around the pocket and taking sacks

Yup, Slater was back out almost straight away.

I think Butler was just born to make crucial game changing plays at the right time at the right place. The kid is blessed and clutched.

I think it's his attitude. He plays with a gigantic chip on his shoulder just like Tommy.

high ankle sprain would make him wear a boot. hope its just that.

Crutches and boots are the standard precaution the Pats take with foot injuries. I can't read into it either way it could be bad sprain or it could be a minor one after a few days of rest.

Worst officiated game I've ever seen. This team is tough as nails. Injury is the only thing that can stop them from winning it all.

We would have rolled over them with our injured players in the lineup.

This was a big team character win. It might have been a team character loss, but this team doesn't like to lose. And, today, they said: No!

Yep, he had a nice block on Danny's would be TD

This is true. The boot means hes hurt but it says nothing about how badly.

Belichick looks sharp in the suit at the post-game presser. Headed to a Broadway show after this?

Sitting, waiting during the timeout. Then the snap. The kick. It's hooking a bit. Then it's through! We WIN! What a release! I'm shouting and jumping up and down, my wife is laughing. What a great victory. I'm a fan!!!

I don't care about being undefeated, I just don't want to lose.

Hopefully Jules will be OK.

Per one of the posters? Really? Come on. No one on here has a clue about the injury other than he is in a boot, which is standard fare for the Patriots when a player gets a foot injury.

After the colts game Slater had to be brought back by a cart and posters thought he was done for year, yet he played the next game.

I couldn't even watch it, lol. Just held my lucky jersey over my head and looked up a minute later to see the score and knew it went through. My poor heart.

@AroundTheNFL: Beckham has 3 catches on 9 targets. Malcolm Butler having an incredible game after that first play

@LRiddickESPN: Not a better competitor in the league than #Patriots CB Malcolm Butler. The kid is fierce. Love his playing personality.

Amendola : playoff run and this season. Huge. For whatever reason, as soon as he started returning kicks - he flourished.

Trading Welker to the Rams for him is finally paying off.

Aint' gonna happen (famous last words with the current state of the NFC East), but I'll say them again: "ain't gonna happen."

He converted me to a genuine fan today. I've always admired his gutsiness, but today he showed that he has genuine shutdown corner upside. He was great!

And I have to say, the chicken littles were more atrocious than normal. Especially when half time was coming up. **** you little *****es and grow a damn pair.

I assume that means you were in the Game Day Thread.
Why?

glm said:

Exactly. There was still another entire half of football to play and these little sissies come out of the woodwork, "Oh it's gonna be a blowout! We suck! Eli always owns us!" It's obvious they aren't patriot fans. If they were they'd know that New England plays their best footballing the second half, specifically the 4th quarter.

Oh well they can go drown in their own tears, we'll be celebrating the Pats epic win

Trust the coach. He's the best! That the Pats were down 17-10 at the half was a good thing...it might have been worse. How often have they played from behind at the half this year? And what happened? They come back playing better and got back in the game.

Trust the team. They've been doing this with a different cast of players for many years.

Brady with the ball and time on the clock...all ya need is a FG. Are you kidding me? I like our chances!

Been there; done that...and in much bigger games. That was fun!

Kevin Duffy ‏@KevinRDuffy 5m5 minutes ago
Epic win for tPats but Brady didn't seem pleased in his presser. Came back into the locker room, had brief convo with LaFell.

Kevin Duffy ‏@KevinRDuffy 5m5 minutes ago
Told LaFell, "No man, that was a ****ty throw." Referring, it would seem, to INT on goal line.

Yes.. It was.. but I was rushing since the wife got home with groceries and it started pouring.

GROCERIES?
You're talking about the GROCERIES?

After MB got smoked on that opening play, he fixed everything. No biggie. What a strong show of character. Cheers on that!

EDIT: My statement on Butler was unfair...wrote it quickly. The truth is, McCourty got in his way; made it appear as though he got smoked. FYI: I was also caught between the screen and the forum...missed that and forgot that this interference occurred.
