Thank you Pats, for giving us yet another season of contention. No other team competes for a championship year in and year out in any sport like you. Hat's off. You're the most competitive team in all sports.

Ditto!!! Our team played their hearts out all year, rookies got a lot of experience. Thanks for giving us some fantastic games, and another proud season! Watch-out next year! :):rocker:
 
Grazie new england patriots !!!

Grazie di tutto !!!

A decent season that is now over.
 
Perhaps better than most would think, considering all the injuries sustained early in the season. How many teams would win their division while losing a pro bowl nose tackle, starting top 5 right tackle, the leader on defense inside linebacker, an all-world do-it-all TE?? and still go to the championship game! It bodes well for next years edition.

My hat off to Bill for a truly stupendous coaching job. In a lot of ways this will be a year I will remember fondly for a long, long time.
 
I will appreciate tomorrow thank you very much ... not ready yet ... :steamed::steamed::steamed:
 
We'll be much better next year.
 
Looking back to 2004 at that time I never would have guessed that we would be here 10 years later without another ring, but it's true, it's reality, but it still doesn't take away all the great memories we've had. Sure as fans we've all had to deal with the crushing losses. The Jet and Raven one and dones, the 3 AFCCG losses and the 2 Super Bowl losses, but we were there. That's something other fan bases only dream of.

The TB window has about 3 years left if I had to guess. Sure we have a couple of holes to fill. WR being the biggest in my opinion followed by OG and center. Our offense can be just as good as Denver's if we fill these two needs and assuming we get Gronk back. Our young defense will be much better next year with Vince and Mayo back and a now seasoned Jamie Collins. A punishing safety added to this group would be ideal.

All I ask for in the next 3 years of TBs window is an opportunity to go into the playoffs with a fully healthy football team. If we get that and we still can't close the deal for TBs 4th ring, then so be it. I can live with that and accept it. But having to deal with injuries to key players year after year is something that will be tough to live with because it won't seem fair.
 
I love you Patriots! You kept fighting and never gave up anytime this season! :)
 
My appreciation would be redundant. This team under any other staff would not have even made the playoffs.

I think brady's window is going to be open and long as he wants to keep playing. Short of a bad injury brady's style of play can last well into his early 40's and if anything we saw this year he can do incredible things with almost nothing. The dude is an artist.

Me also ... I'm still angry tonight though ..

going to play Need For Speed World Online now.

If anyone here plays and sees IcyPatriot ... that is me ... level 60 veteran. :D
 
Was a hell of a season even though it ended badly. Btw, you guys need to start tweeting Edelman. We need to do whatever we can to try to get this guy to stay lol.
 
thank you team.

it was an incredible ride.
 
If someone had told me in early Aug. that this team would lose four All-Pros for the entire year (most for Gronk), but still play late into Jan., I would have told this person to ease up on the crack. And even today, three or four plays made the difference.

As many others have said, this team will be better next year. Thanks for another great season.
 
I'm surprisingly calm about this loss.Yeah, I can't stand to see Manning win anything, but considering what New England went through this year, it did amazingly well. My big consolation comes from knowing how good this team is going to be over the next few years. Starting next year, those rookie receivers will be healthy and have a year's experience under them. Our defense will be healthy, with Wilfork, Kelley and Spikes healthy and back. Gronk will be healed up too, and able to contribute for a whole new season. So yeah. I'm not a happy camper, but hey, there's still Hockey and it now frees up my Sundays for actual work on home projects. At least for a few weeks until we start talking about the draft5. :D
 
At this time, I don't know what to say.

There was some fun games this year, for sure, for what it's worth
 
Definitely my favorite non-Super Bowl year ever. I'm so proud of what these guys accomplished in the face of so much adversity.
