OT: NFL/Patriots 2016 Thread - Patriots #1 seed in AFC - 14-2

[FribbleLine]

I bet Brady wants another crack at them.

I'm sure he does but I bet we would lose again to that slack jaw yokel Eli

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

At the point where Denver is just going to try to injure people.

 

[JRull86]

Tj ward is such a joke. What a stupid ****ing moron.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Easily my fav win of the year. Ran the ball, no big mistakes, defense in control.

Haha yokel.He goes by Eli.His real name is Elisha I read once

 

[JRull86]

Great win

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

When was the last time the Pats won scoring less than 20?

Let's go San Diego!

 

[Johnnyduke]

Much better vibes with how the end of the RS is going compared to last year...even without gronk.

Just need oak to lose one game (preferably right now) and take care of the horrible jets next week. Then you can do whatever you want at miami.

Green Bay vs Detroit will be flexed to the night game

There is no night game during week 17.

 

[Fenway]

There is no night game during week 17.

Oh yes there is but it isn't announced until December 26th

 

[Seidenbergy]

Gotcha. Weird that the official schedule doesn't even have a TBD listed for that timeslot.

They pick the game with the most on the line.

Nfl kicker shouldn't come up short from 56 in a dome

 

[Bizarro Bandwagoner]

Really impressive road win. That's how you win in the playoffs.

I know the Jets games are always close...but they're so terrible right now, I'd be pretty disappointed if they struggle against them this time.

Only 56 yards? He should've kicked it with his left foot.

Playing in Dallas vs Cowboys reminds me of Montreal Forum.Teams visiting can expect a few flags.

Are Patriots this good, or is every other team bad?

DENVER — It must be December in the AFC. Chestnuts are roasting on open fires and Tomato Cans are falling down in front of the sons of Bill Belichick.

Enjoy this as long as it lasts, people. You are not likely to see it ever again in professional sports.

It was yet another hat and T-shirt game for the New England Patriots Sunday. Playing one of their best games of the season, the Patriots Trumped the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, 16-3, at Mile High, winning the AFC East for the eighth consecutive season and the 13th time in the last 14 years. The Patriots are 14-2 in AFC East titles since Tom Brady took over at quarterback in 2001.

For the Patriots, winning the AFC East has become like signing up for Facebook or getting a letter of acceptance from the University of Phoenix. It’s professional sports’ version of a Newton youth soccer participation trophy. All the Patriots have to do to win is show up, play their traditional tight game, and wait for the other guys to make mistakes.

Are you ****ing kidding me? You obviously don't watch too many Cowboys games.

Dallas is barely over .500 at AT&T stadium since it opened in 2009, and have 7 penalties to 2 for TB tonight including that last holding penalty taking away a TD.

If anything the refs have not been fair to the Cowboys since they opened the new Stadium although I don't have the overall penalty stats since 2009, but I'd bet it's not in the Cowboys favor.

If you want to compare an NFL team at home to the habs at the forum, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, who I think have one of the best home records in the NFL since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002.

What a terrible article. Yet another way to try to slight the Patriots' achievements.

The Pats win the silverware because they have the most talented and hardest working front office and a team first system. They work 24/7 365 days a year to be great and to stay great. You don't get anything for free in the NFL.

Yeah. Read the article about being an entry level employee on the Patriots staff. The 20/20 club (20 hours a day for $20k a year). All they have to do to win the division every year is show up? What ********. That's taking Bill for granted.
