[quote=Mattyk72;370142]Injuries weren't the issue today, we got demolished by the best team in the league. No shame in that. We just need to pick up the pieces and get a 'W' next week against the Jets.[/quote]
No shame in that? The shame is in the way that this team played. They played like they put zero preperation in this game. Maybe I for one just expect too much from a Gibbs coached team with all of it's high powered coaching staff. This is definetly a defining moment for this team in the coming weeks. 52 points?!?! Are you kidding me?

I think it's a combination of things, they rattled Campbell, Smoot got hurt pre-game, Rogers and McIntosh got hurt during the game. Everything hit at once at the worst time, the game changing moment was when we were behind 17-0 and were inside the 20 yd line and then fumbled.

We could have gone into the half down just 17-7 and it would have been a completeley different ballgame. But we didn't and it wasn't

All I can say is for anyone who doubted it yes, the Patriots are that good.

Yeah, I guess at that moment the game changed from awful to downright putrid.

The main point in my book, is that although we lost by a whole lot to a whole little, it still only counts for one loss.

And you know what, if we have to play shitty once in a while, I'm glad we did it against the Pats, because we were going to lose this game no matter how well we played.

Keep in mind, we win next week, and we're 5-3. The Jets are our next opponent. Keep your eyes on the road.

No excuse. Our team got bitched slapped today. They simply did not "want it". We got out physicaled today, and no one stepped-up to match their physical level of play.

NE knows that JC is inaccurate on the deep pass , squated on the short routes and dominated us . Until JC can hit the deep pass ,,, we are in trouble , and yes he is only his first year starting , but a qb 4 years into his NFL career should have some accuracy . Too bad we had all the injuries this year , it is killing us . Hope the best to C. Rogers on his knee !

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;370171]I'd rather have Smoot starting over Rogers anyway.[/QUOTE]

By the way, besides Smoot and Rogers being out, did Springs practice at all this week or was he in Dallas with his dad?

They are who we thought they were! And we let 'em off the hook!!!

Seriously, we showed no pride out there which is what's the most disheartening.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

It's tough to show pride when the the other team is kicking it down your throat all day. It's called an ass whoopin' folks.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

It was sad that we couldn't even play with the Pats at all, in any part of the game or on any side of the ball. Our offense really is lame. I hope we start fast against the Jets and don't play down to their level.

Re: It's only one game, get over it
 

[QUOTE=Kmjskins;370203]I understand that it is one game but it is more of a "gut check" type of game. I live in the Philly area and rarely hear the interviews to Coach Gibbs or the players but today I heard Sonny ask Gibbs "fluff" questions after being disgraced. No one seemed angry except London Fletcher.

[B]This absolutely has to be Gibbs last year unless we make the playoffs. His approach to the game, including the play calling is awful![/B]
I used to like the Patriots but today's game showed how classless Bellicheck is! I hope the Colts win the AFC championship and go to the Superbowl.[/QUOTE]

Welcome to the board sir. Just to warn you, some around here are gonna piss on you for telling it like it is. I've been saying this since I became a member and it's been a little rough, so I guess I'm glad to have a little company.

Not true. You'll just get pissed on for being negative all the time and only having something to say after a loss.

That's bull&%#!

I'm actually more optimistic than most because I see light beyond the current mess w/ Gibbs coaching but not really coaching and not calling plays but then influencing the play-calling, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

And I post win or lose.
