Are you expecting them to play "like this"?

Nothing worse than going into the playoff on a losing streak. Hopefully that lost will spark some anger into them and maybe they'll play with some passion.

If the pats had won 13-10 today would you say the same thing or would having HFA changed your thinking ?

Turnovers are a ***** to those predictions huh?

Sometimes i wonder if we missed the playoffs or missed a 1st round bye from the reactions here.

Glorious meme

And another Broncos turnover.....

The Pats defense is good, some big plays and a disappointing rate of takeaways notwithstanding.

The Pats special teams are good, problems over the past month or so notwithstanding.

Brady and Gronk are otherworldly.

Absent further injuries, the other four skill positions will be filled with an OK group, featuring rusty Edelman, rusty Jackson, rusty Amendola, young Martin and others.

Whether or not panic is called for depends entirely on one's hopes for the O-line.

yeah...why bother to see if YOU are wrong...jump ship right now...that's what a real fan does. "I quit! Nobody is gonna make me watch anything but wins every single time!"...

what today means, unfortunately, is ther will be a ton of surrender monkey "Pats" fans selling their season tickets to enemy fans for the playoff game in Foxboro.

Honestly, Babies R Us...

BB is hiding all his cards. He will surprise everybody in playoff especially when everyone writes the team off.

No doubt BB has gone full conservative and I hope this is all about not showing their best hand. That being said...beyond the wretched O line, beyond the invisible WRs, beyond the porous at times run defense......I've started to see the Pats diminutive CBs get exposed by the big WR. Marshall, Decker, and this kid today abused our boys.

Losing always sucks, but it amuses me immensely to point and laugh at the Wailing & Gnashing of Teeth of spoiled rotten Squealers who feel entitled to annual 19-0 Campaigns!!

Like they say...
Games like this seperate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to fans.

Especially Ryan vs tall WRs. Malcolm does a better job on them.

I do believe this to be true. The playcalling has been Larry Keenan-esque

And a third Donkeys turnover. Just need SD to capitalize on one of them.

Funny the O-line wasn't a huge issue when we were healthy everywhere else on O. Get Vollmer back and that fixes the Fleming atrocity. And Edelman won't "fix" the O line but his ability to get open quick will mask a lot of it. Not to mention open things up for Gronk and Dola. I've about given up on LaDrops. Will be interesting to see how Martin does with a healthy WR group and some experience now.

Straight to the practice squad with you whiny thread!!

for 20 fan bases, tomorrow is the start of golf season even if the weather's freezing. Only 8 teams will be playing in 2 weeks and I'm glad the Patriots are one of them.

Everyone here is. Some are just more concerned about this team going into the playoffs than others.

They've also turned the ball over four times.
