have been.......First of all congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers.....NOW.....that having been said...I can't help but think what could have been had the Pats not shot themselves in the foot on every possible occasion last week........No offense to Denver, but we outplayed them in all facets of the game.......and gave them the game by BEATING ourselves...
I can't help but think also, that Pitt would have been coming to OUR house had we won (which again, I think we should have).......and I think we all know what would have happened there.......
But,unfortuneatly you can't win with COULDA, SHOULDA, and WOULDA's. Denver beat our depleted team during our first meeting, and then WE and the refs BEAT ourselves in the second matchup. Hard to stomach as a Pats fan....but that is the way it goes. I would imagine that every Patriot player feels worse than me right now after watching Denver get wasted by Pitt....and knowing that they "shoulda, coulda" won that game last week and forced a showdown with Pitt at the razor......where I would imagine there was a good chance we would have been headed to SB XL..........Alot to think about for the Pats this offseason......
