Very disappointing today. It's safe to say that there will be no more easy teams this year. Carolina, Buffalo, Jacksonville and Houston are all tough teams and Pats fans can only hope for an 11-5 season. Last year 11-5 wasn't enough to make the playoffs so all bets are off.
yeah but a 11-5 season WILL get us in, guaranteed.
True. I didn't account that both Miami and NY are 6-6. Just hope that the Texans don't give us a run like they did Indy last week.
Is rookie Vontae Davis really giving Brady crap for the few interceptions this year?
Or was the conversation more like ...
Vontae Davis: "Ha ha, man, I'm only this many championship rings behind you." (lifts 2 fingers)
Tom Brady: (shooting him one more finger) "Uh, you forgot one."
Nah. Tom doesn't live in the past and you know that. He lives in the now and he knows that his decade-long stranglehold on the AFC East is slowly fading away.
And I like that attitude of Davis giving a top player like Brady crap. It is sort of blasphemous in a way...but when I was young I totally loved when young unproven players would give guys like Joe Montana the same treatment. Ya sort of got to do that to keep up with these guys who have accomplished so much already and have an obvious edge.
And the kid appears he can back it up, unlike that Db on the Steelers a few years ago who was talking trash and Brady lit him up. And Brady let him know about it.

yeah exactly. that Steeler guy looked like a chump out there. and of course the next time Brady smokes Vonte Davis he's going to let him hear about it...as he should.
But let's not forget, if that Manning to Tyree play with about 5 crazy twists doesn't happen. Or Asante Samuel holds onto the interception ... you'd all be getting hit over the head how Tom Brady led the Pats down the field with 2 minutes left to win that superbowl, his 4th, and went undefeated. 2 minutes away.
He put his team in position to win ... but the Giants outplayed them.

I hear you. Tyree play wouldn't happen again in 1000 tries but it did that day. Samuel could have ended it.

It was a great game and a lot of fun.
Believe me, if the Pats hadn't won 3 championships prior to that, I'd be devistated about it. As is ... it sucks they lost that game but mostly because I gotta hear about it, not becuase I'm broken up about it.

Jeesh, the Pats look poor today. It took them 28:52 to score a fuckin touchdown. They better turn on the energy in the second half if they want to win this one.
An ugly win still equals a win. Lost the turnover battle 0 - 3, yet, still won.
Still #1 in the AFC east ... which, means, they are still in it.
Keeping the faith for this year ... even if they don't look good right now.
Same here. I can let my breath out now that the clock ran out.
I was at the game today. It was just as ugly in person....but still a win. I'll take it.
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

Hope you found one way or another to stay warm.
Beginning of the the third quarter, the shot of the stadium, it looked half empty.
that's because we were taking cover from the rain during half time.
I was ready for snow....plus Bloody Marys for breakfast......

I'll certainly take the win but that WAS ugly and I'm glad that game wasn't on the tube.

You've got to like Tom Brady trying to put the pressure for the Patriots' performance down the stretch on his shoulders. "Put it on me,'' he said over the cell phone on his way home from Foxboro on Sunday evening. "That's where I want it -- on me.'' You asked for it, you got it. We talked for maybe 15 minutes, and I'd have thought he'd be exasperated by a few things -- Moss, how poorly they were playing across the board the last month, the fourth-down-conversion problems, the Adalius Thomas fiasco. But no. Brady was ridiculously optimistic. "It's like a heavyweight fight,'' he said. "A boxing match. We just gotta keep fighting. We're not the same team as we were last year or the year before, but I haven't lost faith in us at all. It's just that our margin of error is so small.'' Whereas in 2007, Brady had a couple of professional receivers, Donte Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney, as his third and fourth wideouts after Moss and Welker, now he's got the green Aiken and Julian Edelman (who's been hurt consistently).
New England's 8-5, a game ahead of the Jets and Dolphins, with the Bills, Jags and Texans on the schedule to finish up. Not too hard, not too easy for the old Patriots, but for these Patriots, where everything comes hard? "We're 7-0 at home,'' Brady said. "We just put up 470 yards of offense against a good defense in Miami. We got the best coach in history. Shoot, once the playoffs start, if we're fortunate enough to make them, anything can happen. We were 18-0 and didn't win the Super Bowl. You never know. Don't lose faith in us.'' When I got off the phone with him, I thought: That's what he's going to say to his team this week.

not pretty but given the injuries, I'll take the win.

...as long as the rest of the games are at Gillette Stadium!!!
I think I would have hurt someone ... or myself.
Brady's comments say it all ... can't remember when this team has had less fight in them.

Yup, the Giants kicked some serious ass that day.

Well, for the record, I think the Saints game proved Belichick was right for going for it on 4th and two, the defense is a sieve.
Still a month left in the season, and they still have the lead in the AFC east. I'm not giving up.

defense looked REAL good today I know agianst Buffalo)
Jets lose, and Miami is tied late. If the Dolphins lose, Pats will be up 2 games with 2 games left.
edit - Titans win in OT.
Pats up by 2 games with only 2 games left.
