JESUS! TANNEHILL IS LOOKING DEADLY.
 
Um...except that game will be in Arrowhead. Not Gillette. That makes a world of difference. This team could've beat the Chiefs at home. It was 50/50. In KC? No. Sorry. And I'll be called a hater. But so be it.
Hater.
 
Pats are obviously an underdog heading into these playoffs. Will likely need a positive turnover margin to win games at KC and Baltimore if they are able to win a tough one next week. Unlikely but far from impossible. 1985 team lived off of turnovers that postseason and faced bigger odds than this team does. (and fortunately there is no Bears waiting at the end if they get that far)

Back to the drawing board IMO. This team is down but not out, need to play their best football from here on out, no excuses. They dug this hole and now it’s time to lie in it
 
4 straight wins against playoff teams isn’t happening. Nothing wrong with having hope but keep that hope in check.

I'm optimistic. It's a whole new ballgame with the playoffs...we know this. The Patriots are much better then how they played today.

Let s hope...
 
I'm not "arguing." The Patriots literally outplayed and outscored the Chiefs. There's not a person on the planet who isn't aware of that.

I'm sorry that you're so salty about the sustained success of NE that you can't accept this fact.

Pats definitely didn't outplay KC.
 
We haven't had a signature Pat's victory all year. Just beat up on bad teams

Now I know you are a complete idiot. NE did NOT outscore Kansas City in that game - at best if the the Harry touchdown stood they would have gone to OT. Kansas had more first downs, passing yards, and dominated in TOP, among other things. If you want to argue NE played better in the 2nd half, then fine, but to argue they completely dominated and outscored them is idiotic.
 
Tennessee is still in the driver's seat with one half of football to go.
 
This is obviously a weaker Pats version than we've seen of late - probably similar to where they were in 2013 except no bye. Today's loss was obviously a killer and reduces their odds of making the AFCCG considerably. That said, I expect this team to fight as hard as they can and leave it all out on the field. I'll be watching.
 
What will give us the best chance to win next week? Part ways with JMD tomorrow. I’ve never seen so many drive killing run calls at the worst possible moments. And why the hell when it’s 3rd and 8 or 3rd and 10 does he call a 5 yard pass play? He sucks beyond belief!
