Thanks

Re: Patriots/Ravens postgame thread... That's All, Folks.

The New England Colts couldn't do it. Very poor game all in all no heart.

 

[DOGWARZ]

Well the windows closed. Wonder if it would of been better to have sucked ala colts and be able to draft the future franchise instead of coming so close winning the Super Bowl.

Pains me to watch Brady try and compete deep in the playoffs without wide receivers that threaten deep.

 

[ausbacker]

Same issues different season. So very disappointing to put up a performance like that at home.

 

[LOLCHOKE]

Only one word comes to mind here: CHOKE. HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Welkerstache]

1. Time to make J McD the HC and kick BB to the golf course
2. Brady has become a playoff choker. Let's trade him while we can.
3. Wes is old and slow, like most Pats receivers.
4. The team is soft and easily dominated by physical teams
5. The Ravens did this team a favor because 49ers would have blown them out

Discuss!

Didn't help the falcons much did it.

1. Ravens were the better team today. They were more physical and didn't play to lose.
2. Talib - I would only sign him if he takes a BIG home town discount. He just can't stay on the field.
3. Welker - The pats have a tough decision but my gut feeling is he is gone. The drop today was brutal.

 

[BradyFTW!]

After reading the posts on here: seriously people, be better fans. Half of you guys have no business rooting for a football team. Yeah, they got thoroughly outplayed and lost. It really sucks, and I don't like it any more than anyone else does, but it is what it is. Go chug some beers, get laid or something, and chill the **** out. Maybe some of you should consider becoming 49ers fans or something. Most of you won't be missed.

We need a shut down corner( talib has to go..) We need a reliable #1 receiver( welker has to go).... PS I love Welker but in the playoffs the last 2 years he has killed us!!!! BB needs a set of balls! played way too conservative... IMHO time to go to the FO.

Two questions

1. What was the crowd cheering toward the end? It sounded like I was watching a futbol game.

2. I don't mean to be a **** when I ask this but did I miss a bunch of camera shots or did not only Brady but the entire team look glum, deflated, almost apathetic as early as the third quarter when they were still winning the game? ************, it was like they knew they were going to lose. The last few years it's gotten to the point where I know their odds of winning the game are immense when Brady's doing fist pumps and stuff, and when he's all quiet and morose I expect them to lose.

After Talib went down, and Arrington took over, Patriots were done..

Again, the pass rush of NE could not get to Flacco, consistenly. With that, Flacco threw 20+ yd completions.

Turning point was the 3rd down, where Welker was free and tried to catch the ball with his helmet!

Signed-sealed and delivered to Ravens, when Ridley head-butted, and dropped the ball for a turnover.

===========

Now, the off-season has started. What are the most pressing needs?

IMO - The defense is still shaky. It really needs to revamp. Talib is good, but he is oft injured and not reliable. That is the most pressing need, a shutdown CB that is man-man. Defense is a must to improve for 2013 season.

On the WRs, we really need a guy like Torrey/Boldin, meaning a guy that can jump and get the ball...

Sigh

 

[coolguy]

No one in this thread can tell that the patriots aren't finesse.


The patriots get beat by teams that can push them around.

 

[LT56]

Jesus, Brady is just pathetic in the playoffs. You guys overrated him so much.

 

[Sfpat]

Pats only have themselves to blame

Still a good season. Tough to win playoff games in the NFL, you need the ball to bounce your way and today, everything bounced the Ravens way.

Next two weeks will be intolerable with the Ravens, Ray Ray, Harbaughs, etc. I"ll avoid all cable sport shows.

Time to turn to the draft and begin the planning for the next QB of the Pats (may not be next year but will be sooner than most of us wish). May not be a good idea to trade Mallet.

 

[patsinthesnow]

It's time to say **** it and draft a speedy, tall, 1st round WR.

I hope Bolden can beat out Ridley for the starting job, talk about overrated.

Please resign Talib

You had the first part correct. "Pains me to watch Brady try and compete deep in the playoffs". His regular season MVP / playoffs choke job has been an annual event for nearly a decade now.
