Im sure the haters are going to say something about those asterisks

 

[mihap]

Tackling was bad on several plays
Van Noy wasnt so good in coverage last two games.
Jordan Philips will be causing some troubles for pats in next couple of years.
Refs were like some tackling efforts from pats players
Butler should be priority to sign
I hope that BB will give Floyd ride home.

Why i am not that satisfied about this win, on the road against 10-6 team, putting 35 points. Guess i am spoiled

Got it done, in Miami where we've struggled.

All I gotta say is that all the worrying about home field advantage, this is probably the year where I'm certain this 2016 team could go on the road 3 games in a row and win them all. But hey, letting the home folks watch them win is nicer.

GAROPPOLO TO MIAMI CONFIRMED!!!1!

Same crowd .. different questions ..

Just don't break this to Sherman (at least not personally)

 

[Ross12]

Same crowd .. different questions ..

He's gotta be in heaven. He made a monumental mistake and ends up with the best team in the league getting ready to make a Super Bowl run. Talk about second chances.

 

[DaBruinz]

The was an all-around nice win.

Yes, there were a couple of bad series by the defense.
There were worse issues with the officiating, including the ridiculous "false start" call on Fleming and the penalty on Blount.

Going to be interesting to see what happens with the 2/5 seed.

Crazy run by this franchise in this league. The last time the team has lost more than 4 regular season games was 7 years ago. Seven straight seasons with 12+ wins, must be a record too, right?

Wrapped up the one seed and didn't sustain any major injuries in doing so. I'd say it's a successful weekend.

And all players played in a competitive game, and the team played well and kept momentum.

This would be even funnier and truer if it didn't remind me of last years S-Jax emergency signing ..

but at least he had + yds .. and for a vet min. So good to be healthy ..

unreal...

 

[fnordcircle]

The Patriots are an ok team. I mostly enjoy rooting for them. Today's win was fine, I'm satisfied by it.

 

[Ring 6]

Wait I thought we were supposed to lose this one on purpose because of all the teams we are afraid to play in the playoffs?

 

[AtomicDawg]

IMO, given the sport and the era, the Patriots are on the most impressive run in the history of team sports. Be blessed we are watching it unfold before our eyes.

And Tony Lipp doesnt even remember it ..
