except for BB himself, who was still recovering from "inner turmoil" (or trauma, whatever) from being the HC of the NYJ.

borrow the Giants uniforms and put on a Tom Coughlin mask.

I had lived with the stench of 46-10 stinker for awhile until the 55-10 drubbing by SF on Denver that purged the Pats ignominious name from the SB record book. I watched that game and could only wish that some day, the Pats had their own Montana & Roger Craig. Well, we have our own Montana...

Great post. I feel the same way. It's due. Silly as that may sound, but something tells me that the Pats gonna roll over them. Tuck, Pierre-Paul won't know what hits them and in their minds, it is not happening.... They will tell themselves "it ain't happening... because it is not supposed to be...

It's amusing how many of us are getting back to the basics. Just one game did it. Before the Jets playoff loss, it seemed that anyone ever raised doubt about the Pats defense would have been shot down mercilessly. Now many of us woke up, looked in the mirrors and oh.. horror, we have...

+1 I'm with you on bold face quote above. Exactly my thoughts. Even before the Jets loss, I thought that it took only one TFB off-day for the Pats to fall down to earth. Incredibly, it happened on the 1st playoff and vs the Jets. Couldn't pick a worse occasion to crap out.

Re: Isn't it all just so aggravating? There are many many doormats teams that beat either one or sometimes (rarer) both SB teams throughout history. Remember the Dolphins that beat the 14-2 SB Pats. I didn't bother google to make a case, but I recalled similar arguments almost every year from...

I don't feel any envy of "coulda shoulda" with the Pats. Yes, the Pats could have beaten the Packs, but vice versa, the Packs could have done to us what the Jets did. All meaningless hypothetical speculation. Shouldn't the Pats have rolled over the Jets? But I like the Packers for being a...

I would not go to that extreme "in spite of" about Roth, although the Seahawks-robbed SB would qualify that characterization. But I agree with your point over all. In the same vein, I don't want to see the Pats becoming one-man team. Brady can't do everything. Roth always has Steelers...

I started watching football just a few years before that and became a Pats fan. I was less knowledgeable about the game and could have been called a "homer" in today lexicon. Although I knew the Bears were better, and all the pundits picked them, I held out hope that the Pats might, just might...

IIRC, Brady used to be pretty good throwing the ball away without intentional grounding when young.

What Felger wrote is nothing new. Everyone was excited with Moss, Stallworth, Welker. Everyone knew it was to out-Colts the Colts. But what happened on the defense was not BB's intention IMHO. Things just did not work out. BB got Rosy Colvin, but who could predict he had such a freaky hip...

It shouldn't have been all on Brady. Those teams D kept them in the game. Rodgers and Roth only had to do enough. Can't blame all on Brady but neither should Brady be absolved, given that his MVP performance (deservedly so) in the regular season was what brought the team to this point. He could...

Good game. But the Jets were dumb in these kneel downs.

Both teams deserve to be in the championship game. They have the fighting spirit.

Shoulda call Sanchize bootleg. (At least I was thinking that)

gotta give them credit. Would you think that Pats last week do that down 0-24 ?

Not getting into semantics here. Attitude or talent. Bottom line is playmakers. We just don't have enough of those guys. Vince is about the only one. All the young guys and rookies are great to talk about, but did they do their best on the most important game of the season? Did Cunningham...

It's OK. It's acceptance. A phase of dealing with grief. ;)

There were times last week I wanted to yell at Brady "Run, Brady, Run". Well Ben did it better today.
