This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.
This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.
If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
The Patriots also played the AFC South and the NFC East. And the AFC East isn't much better than the NFC South. Right now, as I type, the non-Panthers NFC South have a record of 18-23. The non-Patriots AFC East have a record of 20-21. I mean, that's pretty close.
I don't think they've hit a wall. I just think they've gotten so freaking banged up. They just won by 17. That seems like a bad performance, but my goodness, there are almost no Vegas lines in the NFL of 17 points.
Brady is making all the throws. Not sure what people are watching. He is perfect with the ball. Watch today's game on replay and tell me Brady isn't making all the throws. Please. He's as good as he can be.
I will say that Carolina will have a very tough road to the Super Bowl, almost certainly having to play both Seattle and Arizona, before meeting (hopefully) the Patriots in SB 50.
I think they will find that second wind once Edelman is back. The loss of both him and Lewis severely hurt the quick passing game. With Edelman back soon and White finding his groove, the passing game will improve dramatically which will also help the run game.

There are bad calls in every game, but the bad calls against the Pats are always on important plays. Right or wrong that certainly feeds the belief that the league, which we already know is against us, is against us.

But not usually because of bad calls. Many big plays are the result of a penalty and justly called back. This particular PI had nothing to do with the play.

I don't disagree with you. You and JMC00 are both misunderstanding the point I was making. I'm saying the Pats are getting screwed. The most egregious calls against them are always "coincidentally" on game changing plays. Maybe it is a coincidence, but I'm skeptical.
I don't think beating GB would be impressive but beating Seattle, Arizona and the Pats definitely would. They'd finally earn my props if they did that.
They beat (barely) Seattle earlier this year but that was when they were a complete mess.
So what is the point of watching? I still haven't gotten an honest answer on that yet. If you know in your heart of hearts that the refs are going to screw the Pats with malice and not incompetence, then why waste energy, money, and time following a sport that's fixed? If I become as convinced as some of you are, I wouldn't waste my time.
The call was terrible. I agree. The refs have been terrible to all teams this year. Some of you need to watch football games outside of New England and you'd see that. The fact of the matter is that the yellow flag was on the field before White broke free. Not after.
