I want to read the in-depth excuses of the Patsy fans.
Why are you being a jerk? It's not the patriots fault that the steelers could not beat NFL powerhouses like the raiders, chiefs and browns to get into the playoffs. LOL you won the SB last year, just be happy no need to be a ass.
They lost because they played terrible and the ravens played better. This patriots team was troubled all year, I think belichick needs to do some retooling of this team. He tried to do that with the defense this season but it's obviously a work in progress.
Sure I would have liked to see them win but in reality they do not have enough to beat the chargers anyways.
Some of the problems this team had includes.
1. Matt Light is TERRIBLE, and he has been terrible for awhile I am sick of seeing him chasing people around the backfield. Thank god he is not going to be back. Put vollmer (sp?) on the left and they need to pick up somebody to play right tackle.
2. Tom Brady was playing hurt, you try to go out and throw the ball with three cracked ribs and a broken ring finger on your throwing hand. This team needed a perfect TB and he was not able to do it. Since they have no real talent at RB they live and die on the arm of TB..
3. Lack of a pass rush, did not effect them in this game much but all year this team had problems getting pressure.
4. The loss of welker, I think this team just folded after welker went down, since 2005 this team has had one disaster after another happen and I think it has gotten to them mentally
I have seen enough pats games over the years that I knew this game was over after the opening series on offense. In fact I called a woman I am seeing and went out to lunch after that. The restaurant had TV's in the booths but I kind of wish they did not.
Overall this season was the worse coaching job belichick has done for the pats, this team showed flashes of talent and a lot of quit. It can be fixed but I am not sure if they will be able too.
As you could see in the teams I picked in the AFC I was not feeling good about this pats team. In fact if I looked at this logically I would have picked the ravens in this game since around here we have a good idea of how bad brady is hurt and the loss of welker and how poorly this team has played at times. I let my homer in me pick pats over ravens
No excuses. They got their ass beat. Brady looked terrible, and Ray Rice was invincible today. Waiting for the spygate comments to start cause NE hasn't won a playoff game since. . .
REALLY? they have not won a playoff game since spygate broke.. They won 2 playoff games in 2007 after spygate broke, plus they won 11 games in 08 with a backup qb that put up a fantastic rating in the 70's after leaving proving me right that he was not that good.
since you were 100 percent wrong about that do you really want to argue spygate? if so be my guest I will be more than happy to argue spygate. I think i still have all my old articles saved on a old harddrive how this stuff was going on back in the 80's and even the 70's. Please tell me you are not one of these know nothing asshats that think you really can breakdown tape at halftime and then magically use it in the second half of the same game. If you think the patriots invented videotaping from the sidelines or that the other teams were not doing it then you are a fool. Teams are STILL videotaping signals right now! 3 walls and a roof my friend and it's legal.
I have read the rule before it is really vague on the issue, If I was belichick I would cut the front off of a shed and put it on the sideline and videotape inside the shed. Only problem with that is the really unclear part about the field of play, does the sidelines count as the field of play.. In some rules it does such as this one and in others it don't. In fact the rule is so unclear that it would never survive in a court of law.
Don't you think it's a bit unfair that only the home teams get to videotape signals? This happens because the road teams are given video tape booths by the home team that are facing the wrong way.
While we are at it we can talk about the grassy knoll and the magic bullet and some aliens and some other overhyped media BS too
Sure some morons will always comment on spygate, just don't be one of them. I know your smart enough to know that it is impossible to use tape in the same game and teams are smart enough to change signals before the next game
Why the hell is two steeler fans giving me and redline a hard time? the pats did not play the steelers, and the last I checked the steelers are not in the playoffs. This would be like me harassing dolphins fans or colts fans last year when they lost?
i need to make it out of the 5.0 section more
but HOW BOUT THEM RAVENS!!!
Congrats! Now please beat the colts!
. I dealt with alot of Northeastern guys when I was in the military. They talk alot of smack, but when the table's are turned they suddenly can't take the heat. Nothing's changed in 25 years.
