Belichick to any city that wants a fistful of Super Bowl wins. Funny, without the Pats in the playoffs, I'm a lot less interested.

I’ve been saying there was something wrong in New England for years. I knew I’d eventually be right! As often as I was wrong, I knew this day would come...

The Patriots did the same thing in Week 7 while up 33-0 on the Jets...

“It’s probably a loophole that’ll be closed and probably should be closed, but right now it’s open,” Belichick said after the game

We're full up in Detroit with the NE Patriot folk (Quinn & Patricia), Cleveland would be a good spot for Bellichick to prove his value!

Hard to believe that each of the 9 previous years not only did the Patriots make the playoffs but they had a first round bye.

An "average qb game" would have won the game for the Pats, instead Brady put up Tebow like numbers, 38 passes for 200 yards. Yikes.

Interesting to hear there might be a market for McDaniels as a head coach ... as if embarrassing one franchise isn't enough ... actually two, if one includes the Colts.

You can take the Chargers off the list of teams Brady might go to in the off season. Ownership would not cut a deal with Gordon, they wouldn't open the bank for Brady....will be looking for young and cheap to replace Rivers.

You are probably right, but Brady will draw fans to the games at least. The Chargers seem like they're away every home game.

Congrats!

I'll go on the record now saying there is something right there. I'll be correct again sometime soon I think.

Yep. Given the way yesterday played out even a first round bye wouldn't have resulted with a win at home next week in Foxboro.

1st and goal from the 1 ... three running plays and no TD. Pats didn't even attempt a pass. That was the game right there.

Brady will be back but I think he should call it a day. Regardless, the Pats need to select a QB first round. Someone who can learn next year under Brady (assuming he's there) and can be prepared for the future.

Not only was it 3 straight runs, it was 3 straight runs to the left side. It was a yard... just run it up the middle. I honestly don't understand some of Josh's calls. The other thing I had a huge problem with was constantly using a spread formation from the shotgun all year long. The Pats didn't have the WRs and TEs to exploit a spread, so I never understood this. Just get in the I formation and run plays out of that so a team isn't sure if you're always throwing, or at least have the receivers in bunches for crossing routes. It's almost like Josh thought he had the same team he had 3 years ago... very weird and frustrating.

Minnesota must have not gotten the memo they're big underdogs today...

Yep and the sky is also blue. I know the haters are salivating of a very possible NE dynasty ending but I don’t see Brady moving to another team or retiring. Kraft will give his golden boy whatever he wants.
