15-1

I ****ing love the Patriots and this team has my full devotion.

Brady needs a 15-1 record it is the only one he does not have? Think of how ridiculous he has been:

16-0 2007
14-2 2003
14-2 2004
14-2 2010
13-3 2011
12-4 2006
12-4 2012
12-4 2013
12-4 2014
11-3 2001 ( 2 losses were Bledsoe)
10-6 2005 (One give away to Miami I think with Cassel)
10-6 2009 (Give away, Welker hurt in Houston)
9-7 2002 (first full year, lost division on tie breaker)
am I missing any?

I personally am recovering from last night, a game we should have won in spite of literally everything. I see 15-1 because it would look good in the list above and frankly I am pumped about this ****ing team.

There is going to be health come playoff time. And there is going to Brady, Bellichick, Gronk, Dola, Edleman and Hightower in the playoffs.. There is also going to be a heavy dose of Foxboro... And I am telling you now the road to San Francisco for the AFC goes through Rte One Foxboro Mass. And I don't think the NFC will stand a chance.

A new and improved 18-1 would be nice.

And a hard on for Denver.

18-1, but this time with a SB win, would be pretty incredible. Imagine knocking off an 18-0 Panthers team to go 18-1?

Anyway, I think this game, and the way it played out, lit a fire under the team. Brady seems pissed, Belichick seems pissed. I think late in the year a spark is a good thing, maybe the loss sucks and HFA would be FAR easier at 11-0, but just based on post-game chatter these guys are re-energized to lay waste to the NFL. Belichick must be steaming about the officiating but also sloppy tackling, a fumbled punt, poor execution on offense, and not knowing/understanding the injury timeout rules/clock management. These are the teachable moments that'll whip the team into shape for the final month and into the postseason.

The team has gone through/is going through an incredibly tough injury stretch. If it continues, if guys keep falling, then they could be in trouble. But they're getting Amendola and Collins back (likely this week), Gronk and Hightower will follow shortly thereafter (hopefully Gronk for the Houston game, that'd be huge with Watt and Co), Edelman will hopefully be fully recovered by the divisional round.

They need the injury bug to stop spreading, but otherwise I think this is a re-energized team and I think beating up on Philly is just what the doctor ordered

As long as we lock up HFA and get healthy for playoffs that's all that matters...

they will probably lose one of the last two when they rest their starters

I remember following the game day thread yesterday and folks were freaking out over Gronk, and really to their credit it DID look bad.

As hard as it can be, let's not ride the highs and lows. Consistency man.

15-1 and a first round bye sounds good....but for now #OnToPhilly!!

Yea I'm seeing 13-3. They'll drop a couple more.

I don't like the HOU game and one of the NYJ/MIA games will be meaningless

if we get HFA and lose it may be alright.. also, they are not home games (@ MIA has always been tough for us)... I hope starters play at least until half time so they won't be rusty when they come back for divisional round after bye week ...
