To me choke IMHO means losing to a clearly inferior team/competition. If we are going to say Tom Brady choked then I guess we have to say Kurt Waner choked in Super Bowl XXXVI? Clearly they were the "greatest show on turf." Of course we know that wasn't the case-The Rams played an...

I'll be watching. Football is still an awesome game without your home team involved. Having The Pat's in it just makes it awesome...er.

I think I agree with a lot of both of what you said. I did go back and actually read through Borges article and it appears he was talking to those who thought this season was a FAILURE. To sort of edit my original post, I thought Borges was complaining about basically anyone having issue with...

I don't understand why it's hard it's hard to think that if a person (or organization) is great at something you don't expect them to continue to be great. At my job if I am a great worker and all of a sudden my work isn't quite up to my usual standard I would think my boss, other employees...

If this run ended and Tom Brady and Coach Belichick retired tomorrow, the first thing I would do is forget about the game the other night and reflect on what a great ride it has been. That is the appropriate time in my opinion to enjoy what we had. The team is still very competitive and has...

What? You don't remember that killer pass rush we had in preseason of last year? :) (It's funny to think about now, but I clearly remember sports radio being excited about the new aggressive pass rushing Patriots).

Interesting. Thanks for putting those stats together.

I chalk it up to Brady being VERY unsure of himself when it comes to running with the football and to me it just looked like an awkward attempt at a slide while also trying to protect himself. Laying on your back it is instinct to try and put your foot up to keep someone from jumping on top of...

People wanting Talib regardless of durability, price and questionable character just shows how desparate we are for secondary help.

BB not being interviewed after a big loss is business as usual. I have seen games prior to Sunday where Brady isn't on fire. He's human. Maybe he reasonably was dejected because he just wasn't feeling it (See Ridly getting his clock cleaned on the fumble and Brady's tipped interception.)...

Re: Mangini: The Ravens did to the Patriots what they used to do to the Colts Lloyd physical? Are we talking about Brandon?

Conspiracy? Have we all of a sudden turned into a bunch of *****es like The Rams and The Colts?

I pretty much agree with what you said but I think it is reasonable to question various members of the team and coaching staff for a loss(s) regardless of a GREAT appreciation of the team.

What worries me though is that Bill and his picked staff don't have a philosophy/schemes to deal with the newer NFL that favors receivers. Remember the old days when our secondary would play smashmouth ball-crushing recevers at the line and also making guys "pay". You can't do a lot of that...

Sometimes I wonder if Belichick has never recovered from rules changes that favor the receiver. Bill's agressive secondary style that he used to beat the Colts/Rams all those earlier years doesn't fly now and I'm not sure he has been able to adapt besides loading up on offense. I'm still not...
