football itself is more important to me. A lost repeat is tough.Where does it rank with Boone, Buckner, SB 42, Dent, game 6 vs Chicago in 2013 SCF, and game 7 in LA in 2010?
But that’s the thing. We had the ball with 2:21 and a timeout left, and they hadn’t stopped us all day. Even with how awful the defense played, we were in the perfect “the team that has the ball last wins” scenario for a high scoring game, and a great play by brandon graham to strip sack brady ended that.It wouldn't rank with any of those. The closest Super Bowl it is to is 96. It's hard to be that mad when you realistically didn't play well enough to win or to have a chance to win. And at the end of the day, I've watched football my entire life. You drop 41 points, you don't get to feel entitled to win. Period.
This was easier than most Patriots playoff losses. It was like the 2013 Broncos. Yeah we lost, but honestly we needed a miracle to have a chance.
Our defense dropped 41 points. If you win after that you consider it a blessing. No team deserves to win after that. Period. Maybe Brady has some magic in him. But let's be real, 41 points on the board in a game where your offense never punted is all that needs to be said.But that’s the thing.

We shoulda been able to watch brady drive down for the game winner and run the clock out in the process, and one play changed history. Thats why this one is gonna sting for a long time for me
well it was a shootout, someone has to win the shootout. I highly doubt philly fans are considering it a blessing that they won despite giving up 600 yards and 33 points on defense without forcing a single punt.Our defense dropped 41 points.

Your dream in a shootout scenario is to have the ball last with a chance to win and run out the clock, and that’s exactly what the pats had. That strip-sack is gonna haunt me for a long long time
The final score of this game couldve easily been 39-38 or 41-38 pats without that one singular defensive play in the entire game. I’ll even say it was highly likely
Quite frankly, that is more of a ringing endorsement of how great Brady has been for us all these years, then an argument for why this game was a heartbreak.But that’s the thing.
