Which is better: losing the Super Bowl, or not making it at all?
 
That's the problem: making the Super Bowl means there's a chance you'll lose it.

But, of course, not making it means there's no chance of winning.

I see this season as successful. I guess I'm a glass half-full kind of guy.

The Pats got the playoff losing streak monkey off their back. They have a very young team that's headed in the right direction. They made it to the Super Bowl and lost by 4 points to a hell of a football team.

I think about 28 other teams in the NFL would like to switch places with the Pats right now. :)

if you're gonna lose, lose in the big game. it's a tough loss of course. but going one and done in the playoffs is a complete embarrassment.

Yeah, the Ravens who couldn't win the game before this won definitely would have won this one... :rolleyes:

We had our chances, this could very easily have been our victory party. It was a close game between two of the best teams in football, and unfortunately it didn't work out for us. But you have to give credit to their team, not to the fricken Ravens.

You gotta be in it to win it

Never thought this team would make it all the way to the SB this year. Thought they would have been knocked off by Ravens.

Rebuilding year...rookie RT, CB, ...injuries to Koppen, Ras-I, Vollmer, ..

McCourty playing like crap early......patchwork defensive backfield...

I look forward to an even stronger team next season !

To me losing the SB is the second best outcome for the season.
