Well, it's hard to feel bad for them.

I don't think anyone is saying people should feel bad for the Patriots. Did people feel bad when Seattle smacked Denver around and completely embarrassed them in the biggest game of the year last season? This is professional sports.


That's a nice assessment Fish Taco. On the other end, look at what a team like the Seahawks have done via the draft. They built the core of their top 10 defense through the draft over a few years. They grabbed guys like Richard Sherman, Walter Thurmond, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Bobby Wagner etc.

MNFwas only the tip of the iceberg in the decline of a once proud Patriots team. Brady seems to be only a shell of his former years of greatness...maybe it time to hang them up before any more embarrassing games like Monday past. I only hope Brady does move around to different teams like Brett Favre did and make a fool out of himself.

Oh please, Brady is making a fool of himself? Name a QB in the NFL that you could put on this team and have better results. The thought of Manning trying to survive behind this O-Line or Rodgers trying to squeeze throws to these WRs that can't separate to save their lives is laughable.

Thank you! I love it when people like to compare Brady to Manning or other QBs my question is usually that, who would these other QBs do with the little that Brady has. Brady has done more with less than any other QB out there. This year he has a poor O-line and barely anyone to throw the ball to, only a 60% at best Gronk and Julian Edleman. Plus the running game isn't much and defense can't get it together. It's hard to win games in this situation.

Much better play by the O-line tonight....they all played quite determined on both sides of the ball. They ran it very well, and the D continues to get turnovers. The sky seems to not have fallen onto Foxboro. Guess we can all R-E-L-A-X for at least a week.

I am really loving this quote today....LOL.

I do stand by my earlier comments that the Pats drafting needs to improve...they played an inspired game last night, but Brady won't be here forever and the next QB, whether that be Jimmy G or somebody else will not likely be able to carry this team like he has over the years.


But enough of that rubbish....what a win! I hope they come out with that kind of energy and fire for every game from here on out! Stick with this O-Line combination and let them gel. Let Revis shadow the other team's number 1, and now that Browner is back, let him rough up the number 2 with Safety support deep. Keep pounding the rock and running play-action and this team will go far this year.

Over the last few years, I've said this several times on the this thread, and after last nights performance this sentence still goes. Reports of Brady's demise has been greatly exaggerated .

I agree 100%, there was no way the Pats was going to lose a nationally televised game in front of their fans after getting blown out the previous week. Bengals had no chance and it was evident in the first Pats offensive drive.

Good game by the Pats. Seems like the AFC East is settling back into normalcy:

-Dolphins are consistently inconsistent
-Bills in a perpetual state of rebuilding
-Jets, well they stink
-Patriots will find a way to win with whatever tools they have to work with

Shocked at the lack of contribution by Wes Welker 2.0 (Amendola).
