"If you lose, you go home.. "
And turn off the TV until the draft.
Some good lines fans should be sure to read:
"I don't think what happened last week or some game in December...will have too much bearing on it," he answered. "What happens between now and kickoff and how the teams perform once the game starts will decide the winner."
Belichick said he didn't begin thinking of playing Indy when Adam Vinatieri drilled a go-ahead kick in the final minute
"In this league you don't think it's over until the final gun goes off," he warned. "Whether we're playing in a game or we're watching a game. A lot of things happen at the end. That's why ratings are so high. People don't turn off their sets. They want to see how it turns out."
There's no mistaking the succinct message Belichick will deliver to his team. Asked what he would tell his rookies they should keep in mind about playoff football, he answered, "If you lose, you go home."
That was followed by about 10 seconds of uncomfortable silence.
So is this going to be the most hyped game in AFC East history? I ask because I wasn't alive for the 1985 AFCCG.

I couldn't watch tv for about 2-3 weeks after that loss. I've very rarely watched BSPN since. If the Pats lose to the jests it would be the same. Losing to the Jests would be almost as bad as that SB loss in 07.Basically. I didn't watch ESPN after the 2007 debacle until the following preseason. I pretty much avoided the sports world until the start of the following season. My reward (I guess) was losing Brady in the first few minutes of the season opener.
I think that Squish the Fish game was the biggest non-SB game ever for fans of the Pats; this game probably will be the biggest/most hyped for the fans from the AFC East. I didn't have the impression that Miami and Dolphin fans looked at that game or the Pats all that seriously; certainly not the way the Patriots and Pats fans are looking at the Jets and this game.So is this going to be the most hyped game in AFC East history?

Squish the fish was THE game. They'd lost by 3 in Miami during the season, and the anticipation was off the charts after having seen the Patriots defeat an 11 win Jets team and a 12 win Raiders team. It was the Patriots getting a chance to finally get past those damned dolphins.
To say that we were going nuts watching that game would be a major understatement. I don't expect this Jets game to come anything close to that.
Agreed. That was epic. This is a playoff game between divisional rivals that isnt even a conference championship. Ryans bombastic idiocy doesnt raise it to that level.I think that Squish the Fish game was the biggest non-SB game ever for fans of the Pats; this game probably will be the biggest/most hyped for the fans from the AFC East.
