How will Patriots handle loss?

[Rajmahal33]

Listen, I hate Belichick and the Pats as much as the next guy and i am glad that they lost (esp b/c of the money that i won) but am i crazy or are we talking about the PATRIOTS? They were 3 points away from going 19-0! Even if they lose some of their vets on Defense, they are still gonna be a playoff team that contends for the SB for the next few years. To say that they are going to collapse b/c of this one loss is preposterous. The patriots more so than any other team in the league love having a chip on their shoulders. Also I think it would be a glaring omission to not point out their draft record and youth development. They know how to develop talent and although they are old at some positions, their younger guys have yet to reach their max potential (esp. Maroney).
