They lost at home today!!!!!!

I think they're actually 6-5 in their past 11 at home vs. NFC opponents, while they are like 40-2 vs. the AFC.
And then run into someone in the playoffs who can shut down the passing attack, forcing the Patriots to win the game in a different fashion, in which they've failed to more often than not since 2007.
I really don't want to be the Manning Colts.
It's almost as if many supporters here have never supported a team below .500. It sucks but to watch the team build something and become a juggernaut is the pleasure of it all.I feel like maybe immediately after a loss is not a great time for "any chance" threads.

Playoff success this season is moot on ANY field home or away unless this defense improves significantly.No way is this defense winning a potential AFCCG on the road in a Denver, Oakland or Kansas City.
Better put this game behind them quickly and finish strong to get home field advantage if the Pats plan on having a deep playoff run.
@Denver, @NYJ, @Miami and vs Baltimore are all potentially tricky games now if the defense keeps playing like this.
You can just see us making Tannehill, Siemian and Petty look like pro bowlers and good old Fluke-o tossing up prayers for PI and 40 yard plays.

What does any of this have to do with the point of my post? The defense was abysmal and must improve if this team hopes to go far in the playoffs. That was a mediocre Seahawks offense our Patriots made look like world beaters.You are aware that this team was 1 yard away from going into overtime with the seahawks right?
Some of the tone hear feels like after a 8-45 loss.
