Not a bad weekend for Patriots' fans
 
Be of good cheer Patriots Nation. Let's look at the glass as half full.The Colts lost and They are already whining.The Dolphins lost and really weren't competitive and Assante Samuel scores on a "Pick Six" Not bad for the first weekend of the Playoffs.If WE can't be in the playoffs let's enjoy others' misery !

If Manning number 2 gets knocked out by the Eagles next week - I will call this season a "success"...

Except for the 6 of us going to Gillette last night at 8:00 with our playoff tickets in hand.....only to be denied entry. Gates we're locked and nobody was there.

What a suck ass weekend, all things considered.

First things first, the Manning/Manning Bowl was squashed. 1-15 to Super Bowl, though it had .000001% chance of happening, is now dead.

Next up: Eli must lose. Have to root against Pittsburgh too.

It's coming together ;)

Aside from the Ravens -DolFRAUDS game I've enjoyed the games this weekend. It was only frustrating to watch the frauds go out there and lay down after stealing our playoff spot and show just how badly we got snubbed.

But the other games were great to watch IMO. Obviously I rather would watch the Pats in the playoffs but I find myself mostly stressing during their games, now I can sit back and cooly enjoy these teams battle it out. Now let's just see the Steelers/Giants go down and it will be a win for us.

I'm not rooting for A$$ante, in fact I'll be rooting for the Giants next week to get his ass out.

I was thrilled with the Colts' loss, happy with the Dolphins' loss and happy that T. Jackson looked as crappy as I expected as the Vikings are a possibility to want Cassel. Their defense and running game is too good to waste on QB like Jackson and Frerotte.

Me too (stressing). I think it's because we've gotten so accustomed to winning, with all the New England teams, that the prospect of losing a game really sucks. When you root for a .500 team or worse, you're happy to see a win now and then. I see a big Pats rebound next year (not that this year's record was bad at all).

Agreed, it's all coming together. If the giants and pitt loose next weekend, I will consider it a "successful" playoff from a pats fans perspective.

I am not happy about Assante though. Why couldn't he catch the ball like that in the superbowl???:mad:

Remind me again why I'm supposed to be happy that the Dolphins and Colts have higher draft picks now?
