Crap

 

[McGarnagle]

How are we in the same spot in late November as we were in early September? How are we not any better in any facet of the game?

I don't think the Pats are one of the top 4 teams in the AFC.

Other than the Chiefs and Steelers, who would you take ahead of them? Titans got blasted by Indy last week, Houston's feasting on an easy schedule.

I find them frustrating and not much fun to watch anymore. I'm not convinced that they're contenders anymore, but until they get eliminated, they have a chance because other teams tend to make stupid mistakes against the Patriots and the only two teams ahead of us in the AFC have either A. never shown an ability to stop Brady in 18 years or B. are coached by Andy Reid. Because of that, I feel like we may win the conference.

KC definitely is. Houston? I guess so. Steelers have won a ton of games they had no business winning, and until they actually beat NE i can't take them seriously. Still not sure about LAC, but they look good. After that? Junk, junk, and more junk.

I literally counted KC twice in my head.

So Pats are at best 4th.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Patterson doing well

 

[Smitty93]

Surprised they didn't call a hold on Hollister there.

 

[Smitty93]

I'd love to know why they've been so bad in goal to go situations this year.

Also, missed hands to the face against Andrews.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Missed hands to the face. Refs must have hit the flag quota

 

[McGarnagle]

Brady looks bad.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

These dumb mother-f***ing refs call the false start but not the blatant illegal hands to the face by the Jet’s D-Lineman?

f***ing joke.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Might be injury or time catching up (likely both) but Brady is looking old this entire season

Not seeing open guys, missing relatively easy throws and not nearly as sharp as he has been.

****ing joke.

You mean Andrews' chip strap doesn't go on his nose normally?

 

[smithformeragent]

Ugly game

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I get officials missing calls, it happens. However, in this case, Andrew’s helmet almost came off his head.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Joke!!!!

Ny worse than MTL

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Van Noy illegally knocking down the pass...

10 yard penalty

 

[Smitty93]

Oh my god, what are you doing Flowers! Why are you jumping there?

This is my exact though process. I do not believe the Pats are "real" contenders this year but I also can't count them out when the two teams clearly better than us are the Steelers, who really struggle against us in the POs, and a team couched by Andy Reid.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Subtle hold by Anderson on Gilmore. If that was a NE wideout, they get flagged.

 

[McGarnagle]

No holding at all on that? Okay

 

[KrejciMVP]

Grounding ?

 

[GloryDaze4877]

No phantom flag to bail the Jets out there?

Shocked.

 

[KrejciMVP]

White the new Faulk

 

[KrejciMVP]

Nice!

 

[GloryDaze4877]

MiniTron!

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Refs are furiously flipping through the rule book looking for a reason to call it back.
