Would you want the Jets or Steelers in the playoffs? BB may just want to get out of this game healthy. In saying that, I don't understand why they nearly got White killed if they knew they had no intention of scoring.
it will be interesting to see if the Pats will go for it on this 2 minute drill or just try to get through the half.
Well I guess its the latter. I can understand why, because of all the injuries. I can't condone the "playing not to lose" strategy. If they are going to do that than just get Brady and Gronk out of there, and then do the best you can. Why pretend to compete, which is what they are doing now,
I don't like it.......even if it might be the smart thing to do.
people here are calling pats names like they are a perennially scared and chicken **** team with a chicken **** coach who always has done this for 15 yrs. un believable.
because thats all they have. they dont have the oline to protect long or WR to get open quick. they know their limitations and dont want to put up a injured defense on the field.
Then just give up trying w/our key players. Put Garropolo in. If we are going to win this game we need some balls and need to take chances. Having 2 full minutes and 2 TOs and the GOAT...we should have given it a shot. Definitely should have started trying after a 12 yard draw on first down.
This team can't gel because of all these injuries and that could be their undoing in the playoffs. Too many fck injuries and some players have been a huge letdown.
Cant really fault them. Theyve suffered enough injuries and this game doesnt mean all that much, so I'm not as pissed with the approach as I normally would be.
I guess the pats dont see much of a difference between the 1 and 2 seed, and there really isnt any. If this team is healthy they should have no problem winning in cincy or denver anyway.

The Pats are using their 5th left tackle of the season. Edelman and Amendola are back in Foxboro. That's why the locker room was appealing.

I saw what I saw. The defender chasing his man and just going AROUND the picking offensive player. Taking up space is not a penalty. They're not going to call OPI on that. "Go back and re watch until you see what my dumbass thinks I saw." FOH
That was the TD play. But clearly you didn't watch the PREVIOUS passing play where they performed a pick. The player going around wasn't the player being picked. It was the one underneath who was contacted beyond 1 yard past the LOS. So, do everyone a favor and stow your crap and learn the rules.

People here are pissed that the team doesn't want to try and put points on the board before haftime with 1:57 and two time outs. The last 15 years has no bearing on me being pissed about that
If brady got sacked with that oline or fumbled or if the D got on the field with 1 min to play you will blame the 17th string left tackle or bostic or any of other scrubs that are playing. Just look who is playing for us.
What's the difference between that and any other play on your own side of the field? Why'd they even throw it on that first drive then? Same thing applied there. There's always that "what if".
Belichick doesn't have confidence in the o-line and wants to keep Brady healthy for the playoffs. IMO, he wants to win this game but likes his chances to beat a Miami team that has thrown in the towel.
