Ravens win hurts Patriots' playoff hopes

Dallas sucks.

The Cowboys Defense was awful tonight. That's the best Jerry Jones can buy give me a break. At this point the Pats should have beaten the chargers and Miami and we wouldn't be in this spot oh ya and the jets. Can't waite for next year

Yup, Dallas sucks.

So the way I'm interpreting this is that if both the Jets and Phins win this sunday, the AFC east is a write-off and the Pats must rely on the lowly Jags to beat the Ravens next week. Damn.

Wow, Dallas Sucks.

The blunt fact is this, if both Miami and the Jets win tomorrow the Patriots have practically no shot at the division (unless Mia and NYJ tie next week) .... and not much of a shot at the wildcard, Jax in not going to beat Baltimore next week in Baltimore. The Patriots need to win tomorrow AND hope KC beats Miami and Seattle beats the Jets tomorrow in order to control they own playoff fate. Another words, we are likely going to see the first 11-5 team ever not to make the playoffs.
I just can't get past two huge plays this season that pretty much cost them 2 wins, the David Thomas Unsportsmanlike Contact penalty @ Indy and the Jets converting 3rd and 17 in OT.

This is what happens when you put your playoff hopes in the hands of J.P. Losman and Tony Romo.

Romo, get rid of him...

Fire dean pee bring back romeo

Dallas...you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh...now I don't think we make the playoffs this year.

I don't expect both the Jets and Dolphins to lose Sunday, but hopefully at least one of them loses. That gives us someone to root for in the Jets-Dolphins finale.

forget Romo, how does that defense give up 2 long touchdown runs on plays where the Ravens were just trying to run some clock... unbelievable.

Everytime I saw some extra pushing from the Ravens I thought . . . "Unsportsmanlike conduct!". Sigh. If they had just beat the Colts.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game, as it puts a crucial nail in the Patriots' coffin. Go Colts and other rule-abiding teams everywhere!

While, Miami has a tough one at KC, and the Jets have a tough one at Seattle.

Whatever happens, happens.

Oh yeah, Dallas has a horrible football team as well as a horrible basketball team.

I am so sorry that we have hurt your teams chances. If only they would lift the salary cap so good upscale cities could remain at the station they deserve; and the others would...know their place.

yup! big d sucks. romo and t.o. are out. defense is overated.

Yes, Dallas sucks. Only it has been evident for the last almost ten years. As long as Jerry Jones owns and is General Manager of that team, they will never see another Super Bowl, except from the stands or on TV. The teams that won Super Bowls under his ownership, were team that were put together by Tex Schramm and previous regimes. So cry Cowboy fans, like little girls, for all the good it will do you.

Yes! No Patriots this year - what a Christmas gift!

Hey Burntplant, how's that piped-in crownd noise working out this year?

Yes, Dallas sucks. Only it has been evident for the last almost ten years.

The teams that won Super Bowls under his ownership, were team that were put together by Tex Schramm and previous regimes. So cry Cowboy fans, like little girls, for all the good it will do you.

To make the playoffs the Patriots have to win their last 2 games .... then....
To win the division and the #3-seed they need at least one loss tomorrow by Miami and the Jets then hope the team that loses wins the following week when they play each other. .........
Or to win the wildcard and the $6-seed they need Baltimore to lose next week to Jacksonville.
And forget about teams tying, ties only happened once every 8 years and we had a tie already this season.

It is not a pretty picture, just look at the numbers, before tonight's game the Patriots had a 36.9% chance at making the playoffs (12.9% as the AFC East Champ) and (24.0% as the wildcard) with Baltimore's win tonight the playoff odds are now in the low 20% range.

It would be really messed up if the AFC West winner gets in with an 8-8 record and NE doesn't with an 11-5 record.

IF the Patriots can't get in then Go Baltimore!

Stop whining, you,ve been there more than your share.

baltimoreon, did you realize that the Patriots have the 3rd lowest payroll in the NFL? The Patriots are not the Yankees or the Red Sox. The Ravens have a higher payroll than the Patriots.

Baltimore sucks too!

Baltimore sucks too!

Pats won't be the first 11-5 team to miss the after-party...Denver had a similiar fate in 1985.

An 11-5 team has missed the playoffs before. Denver in 85, Pats would be second all time. Buffalo is no gimme though.

I frankly didn't think that we deserved to go to the playoff this year, not saying that the dollfins or jetss are any better, the ravens deserve it more.

The Pats are in a transition phase right now.Let's face it...even if they got into the playoffs...they'd be lucky to win a game....Their secondary is atrocious...they can't stop anyone.

Once again Romo chokes in the big game! Very inconsistent and made poor choices. The Dallas offense just let their D stay on the field waaaay too long. Let's just hope that the Pats win their last 2 and hope for a miracle. What happens, happens.

GO PATS!!!

Okay, Pats fans who are blaming Dallas: Don't blame the Cowboys because your team isn't good enough.

Pats are Steeler Wannabes....watch Ben and see what a champion does...Could this be the year for the 6th ring??? Stay tuned!!!

I hated Dallas before, now I hate them even more.

The Pats playoffs hopes realistically ended in Indy with a Gaffe-ney dropped pass and Thomas' dumb a-- penalty.

Can the Fins lose in KC? yes Can the jets lose in SEA? yes. Watch both those things happen and WE lose in Buffalo....ugh.....

The Patriots have never gotten in the playoff when thay have had to depend on someone else. When it is necessary for another team to lose, it doesn't happen for them. Now to need two teams to lose a game.
Hopefully the Patriots will go 11 - 5 . Maybe no play-off but a good season with only a couple of bad breaks costong them a play-off spot. How did they lose to the Chargers?

Again, if you're truly a contender, your playoff fate shouldn't rest in the hands of other teams. This team IS NOT a contender, please stop pretending they are.

Hey Jerry,
How 'bout them cowboys!
HaHa!!!!!

Lets hope that the Seattle Seahawks can play with some emotion for Mike Holmgren's final game as coach and pull the upset against Favre and the Jets

@ comment 15-
I would hesitate to call Baltimore a good upscale city...

Hey #13..Colts only abide by the rules since they are all made to help out peyton and his flock of seagulls! Get over it and keep beating up the lions, browns and bengals. the only real team you beat this year was the Pats and that is with them being held together by duct tape!

It's not unreasonable for the Jets to lose at Seattle and then beat Miami

I love the Pats but let's stay classy New England and congratulate a gutsy Baltimore team. Great win on the road in December. We can still make the playoffs but we have to when our games, before we start pointing the finger elsewhere. We will win the AFC East!

All this whining!! Put the blaime back on Pats' management for not obtaining an experienced, proven NFL QB when there was a chance RIGHT AFTER Tom brady was injured. Cassel?? Well, just remember the Pittsburgh game. If they make the playoffs, they'll be eaten alive by one of the true stronger teams

Dallas gags again in December

The cowboys are a bunch of underachievers, but let's congratulate a gutsy Baltimore team on a great win, (on the road, in December). The Pats can still make the playoffs. I still like our chances of winning the Division. Hopefully, both Favre and Pennington will lay an egg tomorrow. The real tragedy will be if the sorry ass cowboys made the playoffs.

Go Pats!

I add Jabbar Gaffney's touchdown drop in the Indy game to that list. At the time I said that it's those kind of plays that can come back to bite you in the rump at season's end. Champion's don't drop game breakers.

Watched the game in agony tonight as the Ravens ripped off consecutive 70 + run plays for TD's in the last 3 mins.

Credit to the Ravens for going on the road and getting a big win.

As for Dallas, what a mess they are. I personally am sick and tired of hearing how great they are ! When is the last time they won a damn play-off game ? Big 'D' is right ... and it stands for DISASTER

With that being said, I hope the Pats finish well this season.

Let's go out and win our two games and see how the cookie crumbles. This has been a fun season no matter what happens. How many of you thought that the Pats had ANY chance of making the playoffs, never mind a very decent sniff of them with two weeks left to go. I wish I had tape recorded the comments about Matt Cassel in August when he was admittedly playing horrible. It has been a joy to watch him emerge as a bona-fide starter in the NFL. And what the team has done in spite of all the injuries is a minor miracle. Bottom line, let's win our two games vs. the Cardinals and the Bills. If we can't beat both of them, then we don't deserve to make the playoffs.

tony romo lacks crucial male body parts....never can/will win a big game. seems like a nice guy though..

we dont hold the keys to our own destiny, dont set yourself up for huge disappointments when mia n jets win out. (but i hope they lose)

PJ,
Don't FRET just YET!!
The "J-E-T-S" really do "SUCK", "SUCK", "SUCK"!!
The JEST'S play the Dolphins in Week 17. We just need the winner of that game to lose today in week 16. Or, (as unlikely as it may seem), we hope JAC beats BAL next week!

cant believe the D gave up 2 long runs at the end... it was tight and "doable" until they gave away that mcgahee run.... Well Jags isnt really a pushover so there is still hope. And realistically i see jets having more trouble than miami this weekend but hope both lose and we win tomorrow...

Yes, Dallas sucks, but with the way the Pat's defense played this year they had know business being in the playoffs. They would have been knocked out in the first game anyway. They never beat a playoff team all year. They had the easiest schedule in the league, that's why they may end up 11 and 5. But lets get real. Sign a legitimate shutdown corner and sign Cassel to a 5m to 10m dollar 1 year contract as insurance if Brady can't come back.

Say what you want... Truth is 11-5 is playoff caiber record no team with that record has not made the playoffs...Seeding only began with expansion teams because it wasnt really fair...Patriots haters cant understand or dont want Patriots to win because they are mad because they are not an easy win for teams like they were in the 70s and most of 80s in fact have the best winning percentage in the league over the last 6 years... Doesnt even matter if they make the playoffsPats are not a pushover team anymore and are feared by every team in the league thats why they hate them even with the superbowl lose Miami doesnt have any bragging rights because pats won 18 straight in an expanded league before they the lose and Dolphins 17 including the bowl... its all about winning but no one can cout the pats out off any game no matter what the score ...3 super bowl wins in 4 years playoff misses only because of tybreaker procedure so Go Pats...Pats haters go back to your losing teams and dont be such a cry baby and dont count on Pats going back to years gone by Pats Pats are here to stay and Giant fans enjoy your luck in the last few minutes of the game because you wont be back your overated QB... Flexico he is typically NY... N.E has shown the world how to manage a successful teams others try to copy it but cant seem to duplicate it Patriots are training camp for the NFL everyone wants to take away for this team but cant damage their overall success Mark

"Go Colts and other rule-abiding teams everywhere!"

Funny you'd make that comment about the least penalized team in football this year, and maybe . . . just maybe . . . the least penalized team in football history.

Who follows the rules, again?

Rosenberg, what makes you think a "legit" QB could have done better? If we win the next 2, 11-5 is nothing to balk about!!! Give credit where credit is due and Cassell did a great job considering all the factors. Favre is a "legit" QB and I think Cassell's numbers are better than his or close to.

Hey, we still have the Celts and Bruins! We are TITLE TOWN!!!!

NFL network should have shown more of the Dallas cheerleaders to take the sting out of this loss. Thanks Romo & your offense for going 3 & out for nearly the entire game.

ricoman,

Put the pipe down and step away from the computer. Matt Cassel will not be signing a one year deal with anyone unless it's a franchise contract for 1 year with the patriots worth 14M. And even at that the only reason that would happen is so the patriots can trade him and get something legitimate in return.

Back to the original subject, this is bonus time for me, I never thought they would get a wiff of the playoffs this year. I credit the Pats Offense and Coaching for that. The defense is horribly inept at the two most important aspects of the game. Rushing the passer and secondary coverage, even if they get in it's not going to last long.

Steve

Pats have no business making the playoffs. The only reason they were this close was their schedule (easist in the league) . They cannot stop anyone in the passing game and red zone offense is poor (considering who they played). Matt Cassel is a system quarterback and I am glad to see him go. Those of you delusional fans that want to compare him with Tom Brady no nothing about the game.

Matt will be let go and signed by someone will will regret it (Detroit anyone?). BB needs to totally revamp the secondary and linebacker corp with a combination of good free agents and draft picks. I would also like to see Bob Kraft use some of his fortune to bring us a difference maker on the Defensive Line and move to a 4-3 scheme.

"All this whining!! Put the blaime back on Pats' management for not obtaining an experienced, proven NFL QB when there was a chance RIGHT AFTER Tom brady was injured. Cassel?? Well, just remember the Pittsburgh game. If they make the playoffs, they'll be eaten alive by one of the true stronger teams"

Of all the reasons that Pats might not make the playoffs this year, you think CASSEL was their downfall??????? Are you insane?

This game just goes to show you how poor the quality is in the NFL. The media hypes everyone up to watch these under qualified, overpaid meat heads. And Dallas is a good example of this..........I've seen high school teams with a better defense. The Cowgirls are definately.....SUPER SUCKY!

Pats are done.

I ask the question again --Name one good team the Pat's have beaten?
5 of the Pat's wins are against teams with a combined record of 15-55
Cassel story nice but overstated, he is passing to 2 All Pros and against some of the worst teams in the league.
You hear people talking like the Pat's could do some damage in the playoffs.
See the Steelers game(around here the Pat's only lost the 3rd quarter)
PLEASE!

Interesting discussion, but this would have been even more fun if boston.com would consider changing their format so that readers can reply directly to these comments - sortta threaded discussions.

That said, kinda feel sad for the New Englander's: they are having to deal with snow weather storm and now their Patriots are on the verge of losing, double whammy.

Matt Cassel has done better than any vet we could have acquired. I can't believe that there are even people in here debating that. He's been a shade under a Pro Bowl calibar QB. He has looked Brady-esque in a handful of his starts this season. But oh yeah...Chris Simms could have done better. Give me a break and learn the game of football if you really think that.

The problem has been parts of the defense and I trust we will rectify that in free agency and the draft this season. A lot of young guys have gotten tons of experience going into 2009...Mayo, Guyton, Meriweather have all taken huge strides and will be part of this franchise for years to come. Maybe Vince Redd too, and BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

And they still have a chance to finish 11-5, which is amazing and a testament to the franchise. If they don't make the playoffs and an AFC West team does, it's a joke.

OK. So the playoffs are unlikely. I'm just very very grateful for the competitive season we had with MVP Brady and a car load of ProBowlers on IR and many others hobbled. I'll take 11-5 and be happy to give the boys a deserved rest and recovery. I've seen every team since 1960 and this is the guttsiest group ever.

my dad is making me go crazy cause he thinks there is no possible way for the patriots to win the division i didnt know there was still a chance of winning the wild card for the AFC. this last week will be interesting

I think we`ll make it!! After the first 10 min of the first game of the season...who thought we would even be talking about this on week 17??

The Colts won't make it past the first round. If they do, they will get their butt's handed to the by a second string qb and back-up running back, just like last year when they faced the Chargers. The Steelers will not make the S.B. because Worthlessberger is down right atrocious! Their defense has won all their games. The Ravens have shown they are for real. Looks for a Giants / Ravens Super Bowl. Go Pats!

My favorite was the Pitt fan comment. Would Pitt have gone 11-5 without Ben, Polamalu and Woodley? Colts 11-5 without Peyton, Sanders and Freeny? They are both good teams, and one will likely win it all this year, but hard to imagine they'd have done any better with those injuries than the Pats without Brady, Harrison and Adalius.

hahaha, great game last night, bye bye cheaters!!

Oh well...this is the year that wasn't. Right from game one, we knew the season was questionable...but they did a fairly decent job of almost making it despite all the injuries.

And I laugh at all these losers who are fans of other teams that are posting comments about last year's team or the bull$#@ video issue. You guys sound like a bunch of little school girls. Sorry, pathetic and worthy of your teams....

Everyone is saying Dallas sucks. How about controlling your own destiny and not counting on another team to pull you through. And I have to agree with that last comment. Cheaters Never Prosper!!!

At least the Bruins are winning.

Whether the patriots make the playoffs or not this year, they have had a hell of a season, and matt cassell has proved himself as a possible number 1 guy possibly in detroit for next year. With the injuries they fought through, playoffs or not, no NE fan should really be disappointed, Jets lose in seatle today 17-13 and then beat miami next week, Pats win division.

Look, you guys were taping practices and play calls from the other teams, period! It's a violation of the rules and that's why you were fined! Suck it up and admit guilt. I love how its Bull$&^# when it involves YOUR team! Had it been another team, I'm sure you'd be all over it.
And you sound like you are clearly worthy of your team.... is that how you got through life yourself...cheating?? You're the one that's pathetic.

Lot of bitter people here hating on the Patriots. Lol what loser goes to Boston.com just to hate on the Pats. You guys must be obsessed with us. Don't worry an 11-5 season when our best player goes out along with half of our defense. I think we're doing just fine.

In other news the season is not over folks, anything can happen. Go Seahawks-Go Chiefs-GO PATS! If we get in anything can happen!

Sorry Bellciheat......Can't win them all..........I think we are all sick of the Pats and need a year off from them.......Most hated team in the NFL.........

And don't forget about that idiot Dick Jauron for calling a pass with 1:47 left in the Jets-Bills game. He had a pretty sure win in his pocket if he ran a play and then punted.to the Jets. That stupid play by Jauron really screwed the Pats. That fool Jauron pulled a similar boner on Monday Night Football 2 years ago when he decided to forego the field goal and gave up an INT TD to Dallas....and then lost the game.

He is a dope!

PJ,
Excellent references to the two plays that cost it all! Good job!

No matter what, Belichick has coached a winning season with a team who has lost one of the greatest QBs, 2 defensive captains, up to 3/5 of his running backs along with severely struggling corner backs. Not to mention, aside from Seymour, the defensive line has been gimpy this season.

Steelers fall over and die when they lose Troy Palamalu.

First, I want to say that I was totally pissed at the Cowboys offensive game plan last night and also that no matter how they try to compare Tony Romo to Tom Brady, Romo isn't half the quarterback that Brady is, and he never will be.

Secondly, I have solid vibes about both the Jets and Dolphins road games today. Seattle, in spite of their record, is a decent team, especially at home. ANd, the weather is an equalizer and from what I read, they are in blizzard conditions today.

And, In Kansas City where the Dolphins are playing the HIGH temp is supposed to be around 13 degrees.

I feel good about both games as far as the Jets AND the Dolphins possibly being beaten.

Seau, your comment about Dean Pees is right on target. Even with the Pats losses to the CHargers and Dolphins, the entire season could be lost because Pees decided to play the Jets with a soft defense, in overtime, when they had a 3rd and 15 on their own 15 yard line.

Perhaps that may have worked with a young, inexperienced quarterback, but never against an old hand like Favre. Pees, IMO, would be the main reason that the Pats don't reach the playoffs, if in fact, that is the outcome.

When the Pats were dominant and one knew a win was assured each week, I kept reminding myself, enjoy it now because it isn't going to last forever. The devastating injuries to Brady, Thomas, Harrison et al, blown catches, bone-headed penalties, and missed tackles remind me of the old days when nothing went right. Now the leaders of the team are getting on in age and the future looks bleak for Pats fans. As long as BB is at the helm there will be some chances in the future, but I hate to admit I think their time has come and gone for a few years at least. What a great ride it was. Go KC. Go Seattle. What a great job the Tuna did in Miami.

No silver lining on that 18-15 Colts' loss now...too bad about that personal foul call that knocked us out of field goal range...can Santa put a piece a coal in David Thomas' stocking this year?

At least Drew Bledsoe always went down gunslinging. Romo, I fear, may have seen his best days. The Cowboys were dreadful.

Get this

If the Pat's had beaten San Diego, The Jets had beaten Oakland (which they should have), and the Ravens had beaten Pittsburgh (which they could have), the Pats could have even been 12-4 and not made the playoffs- I remember when 10-6 meant a playoff berth.

Unbelievable. For fifteen years I've cheered the hell out of it for every Cowboys' opponent. Last night was the first time I'm trying to pull those guys over the goal line for three hours, which was so bizarre it gave me a migraine (cheering for Dallas????) and they looked like they were being PAID to lose.

I'm not blaming Romo and the offense . . . the Ravens and the Steelers have the defensive teams of the year without question. You could watch Romo going from left to right and there wasn't anything there most of the time. But how can you explain those two long Raven TD runs in the 4th quarter? Wade Phillips is a puss, but the media keeps giving him credit as some kind of defensive mastermind. Supposedly, the Cowboys' wins over the last several weeks were mostly the result of Phillips taking over the defensive play calling. If that's true, he should be fired for whatever it was they thought they were doing to stuff the run in the 4th.

O'Neal and Hobbs belong in the burn ward at Mass Gen. and When did they put the great Wall of China in front of the Pats D line. How this team got to be 9-5 is a mystery for Sherlock Holmes to figure out. After saying all that you got to give BB credit for this team. By the way to you Baltamorons how many SB rings do you have? Me and 30000 Red Sox fans will see all five of you at Camden Yards this summer.

To comment 15:
Spoken like a true Balti-moron.

For everyone that is saying that the Cowboys sucked last night and Baltimore got lucky, you couldn't be more wrong. The Ravens brought it last night and they deserved the win. I know that this really isn't helping the Pats chances, which sucks but with a rookie quarterback and a rookie head coach, they have put on quite a performance.

That shane dude from above is probably a lowly Lions fan or something, people just cant understand the fact that EVERYONE in the league has videotaped shit, its just the pats got caught doing it, so stick it.

Wow, It's amazing to see how bitter and jealous other teams fans are...

Of all the reasons that Pats might not make the playoffs this year, you think CASSEL was their downfall??????? Are you insane?

No, he's just stupid. Like most of the jealous Patriot haters. Oh those deadly sins.

"At least the Bruins are winning."

..and the Celtics, and the Red Sox again next year, and the patriots will AGAIN be dominant next year...We are truly blessed here in NE. The Pats were gutsy this year, facing unprecedented adversity. We are proud of this organization, and all our DOMINANT pro sports franchises.

It's enough to make someone from NY or Indy or Pitt....hate. Bring on the hate. It is so sweet.

So w'ew hoping for the Jets to lose today and beat Miami? Is that right? So weird.

GO BALTIMORE! WOOOOO!!! AND THE RAVENS DO NOT SUCK FOR WHOEVER SAID THEY DID!

It's amazing how much hating is coming from the pats people here and how much they accuse others of vicious attacks--they are just as guilty...face the stats--no anger involved here, the Pats lost their star quarterback--they would have made it if they had had Brady...they had the EASIEST season in the NFL this year...they should have made the playoffs, but the loss of Brady is the main reason I think they didn't. Others are entitled to their opinions...but the truth be told, no one should hate, we should provide stats to show what we believe and debate like adults,not children.

Pats won, Miami won, Jets lost. Here's to the Jets winning next week and the Pats winning as well!!

How do we play the Broncos? Thats what I wanna see! Obviously we need to win next week and then what????

Jets lost so now they have to beat miami and baltiomore has to lose and the pats are in

Jets came thru thanks to a bonehead coaching decision. So now, its a Ravens loss or a Miami loss (to the Jes next week) coupled with a Patriots win.

Thanks Mangenuis!

J....E....T.....S.....JETS, JETS, JETS. The thought of rooting for these punks next week is enough to make my skin crawl but a Jets win along with a Pats win and we're in. Man, it would be so cool to pull out a playoff spot with everything thats gone down this year....

Events have turned......if the Patriots beat Buffalo then EITHER a victory by the Jags (not a bad team) or a victory by the Jets (who will be playing at home) make the Pats the #3 seed. This is manageable. I'm just glad that the Pats and Jets play at the same time.....if the Jets played later and the Pats already beat the Bills, do you really think the Jets would play the game seriously?

Romo, T-Ho, and the rest of the brokeback cowboys all suck.

Don't like this depending on the Ravens - Jags game. No knowing whether the Jags will even show up at this point, and then, surprisingly, the Ravens look pretty amazing when they let their offense off the leash.

um... pats will lose at buffalo so what are you all talking like they will win?

It will go like this.
Jets beat Fins
Bills beat Cheaters
Jets 3rd seed
Ravens get final playoff spot unless they lose to jaguars, in which case.... actually I think it sill goes to ravens. But if it does go to the cheaters they will lose at home to jets anyway.

Joe, your Jets sucked today. They looked outcoached and outclassed. The Jets have been a disappointment.

Joe ,
First of all your a moron
Second the way it most likely will go down is like this ...
Jets lose to Miami (because they blow)
NE beats buffalo in a tight one
Ravens beat jags
Still the pats are out but at least my answer shows some actual knowlage of the game and not some retarded comment based on you being a hater of the "cheaters"

Hahaha you are too funny!!! The steelers suck!!! Talk about cheaters!! As for the patriots they rock and if that asshole didn't play dirty like the pussy that he is Brady would be playing!!! Intentionally harming someone is immature!! The pats don't cheat... If it was cheating um don't u think more would have been done...stupid morons

Patriots can suck it, they didnt beat anyone good i dont care that they will be 11-5. They didnt beat anyone, lost to colts, steelers, dolphins, chargers. The rest of the teams are a joke check them out, they stink

the patriots are the only team in the history of football that can lose their starting mvp qb, rb, 2 inside lb, safety, pro bowl de ty warren, and the best corner in football to free agency and still go 11-5. bottom line, no fan wants their team to have to play the patriots in the playoffs. nobody.
