How will Patriots handle loss?

The Pats played bend but don't break all year on D. Last night it broke at the worst time.

Remember the colts 13-3 season in 05, but they lost in the playoffs. They came back to win it all in 06 after an 11-5 season. Pitt. was 14-2 in 04, yet won the super bowl in 05 after an 11-5 wild card run. San Diego recently bounced back & won 2 playoff games after losing in the first round last year w/a 14-2 record.

Anyone notice a pattern here the last few years? It seems that teams w/the top records haven't fared that well in the playoffs, maybe the pressure & expectations are too high?

I see NE bouncing back & having another solid year, though there's no way we'll be talking about a perfect season. I could see them back in the super bowl.

Did anyone else see Gisele drinking wine in the box seats? I know, it's luxury, but MAN that was lame.

Get her a freaking Budweiser.

She's way too classy to be drinking Bud. Hell, I'm too classy to drink Bud.

At first the loss will sting and there will be a bit of denial, then they will get angry, then they will be a little depressed, and finally they will heal. I doubt if they ever forget the loss though (as if the media will ever let them.)

I thought to myself when Samuel dropped that interception that went right off his hand, justice has just been served, I knew karma had taken over at that point and the giants were gonna win, generally if you don't capitalize on gifts like that your lose.
