They'll want to keep that ******* away from Foxboro for a while.

Yeah he would not get a rematch between KC and the Pats.

Right now there shouldn’t be any super bowl expectations with this team. It’s basically hope for the best.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

An offensive line which has underachieved despite the injuries. Bad year from some players you wouldn’t expect.

 

[Vindicate]

You guys remember when Bill celebrated that Brady run tho?!?!?!

Man. A win would've done so much for this team. But I have to think, have to have to have to think, that Bill saw an inkling of something tonight he liked in that offense.

(Yes, Patsfans, I am grabbing at whatever I can to be leave this game with some happy thoughts. I got plenty of negative ones, too.)

 

[slash83]

Crazy to think how much change this team has gone through this season. 4th kicker, 3rd center and all the craziness at the WR position.

 

[PP2]

Big part of that was Ferentz. Guy was on skates most of tonight. Let's hope Karras gets back soon.

I thought every scoring play is reviewed automatically. Harry scored, so why wasn't it reviewed?

Absolute ********. Call should have been overturned in N.Y.

Because they didn't rule it a score on the field, so there was no score to review.

Looking more and more like possibly divisional home game vs KC. Don't think any of the wildcard teams are going to go into KC and win. KC didn't scare anyone today imo. NE played like garbage, 2 TDs off the board and, and were an edelman catch away from possibly OT.

 

[Jlaff]

Not sure if this question has been asked or answered, but on the Kelce fumble, the play was whistled dead before the NE recovery. So why was NE entitled to the recovery?

(Obviously I think the right thing would have been for NE to get a TD on the play).

That is a real stupid feature of the replay rules - usually come into play on plays where the question was the player down before crossing the goal. They should review both ends of the call.

If there is a clear recovery, I believe the fumble is allowed. If there is a scrum - no.

I think he may be retiring after this year. He just bought that home in Greenwich and has been knocking down the price off his home in Brookline. If true, I can see why he’s not interested in breaking in rookie WRs and is grumpy that they didn’t get better weapons for him.

If he is retiring, I'm surprised that the hasn't announced it as his last run or implied -- like Gronk -- that he will evaluate after the season.

If he plans to keep playing, it is a shame he isn't taking the younger players under his wing. With his play declining, I'm not sure many teams are willing to jettison their current long-term plan to have him sign for a year and then suddenly retire.

After looking across the league, there are only a handful of teams that would likely ditch their quarterback for a short-term solution. Of those, I can only see Brady agreeing to play for Tennessee, San Diego, and Chicago.

There are also the L.A. Rams and Minnesota if they are willing to take a significant cap hit by cutting Goff or Cousins. Beyond the cap hit, though, I can't see teams with an 8-5 and 9-4 record dumping a guy who can play for the foreseeable future to see if Brady can adapt to a new offense and personnel at 43 years old.

A replay showing it was indeed a fumble is enough to overturn what was called on the field (runner down by contact/whistled down) -- however, what it cannot affect, is any advancing of the ball that took place by the recovering team. That's how I believe it works.

...If that makes sense.

Teams are gonna take a shot with brady if he doesn’t come back with the pats. A one year shot.

 

[ViperGTS]

Also overlooked: he jacked up his hip on that play.

Talked in locker room and said he was fine. Doubt he talks or says that if it was something else.

What is the difference between expectation and hoping for the best?

Is this a serious questions or did I miss something?

I’ll explain it to you if you really need me to
