--- THE OFFICIAL NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS THREAD --- OFFSEASON THREAD

[DeadsetAce]

yeah Bill needs to forgive/forget (whatever the deal is) and get Butler in this game...unless he really is sick but i think he's 100%

 

[da hen]

nice season fells, bummer end. Let's get healthy and onto another one.

 

[ggarvinxx3]

Fellas we had a great season, a lot of ups a lot of downs but we made it here and we took the L.

But we gonna be back next year stronger but first we GOTTA fix that defense

 

[DeadsetAce]

pretty good game entertaining wise. pederson sonned belichick in this. belichick and patricia lost this game.

 

[jham15]

I don't think I've ever seen our coaching staff that awful. That's the most shocking part, not lossing.

It stings but on to the next one. I can't be mad at all when I've seen 5 already.

 

[ggarvinxx3]

Brady really did all he could, he really shouldn't have had to be forced to play comeback kid in EVERY super bowl

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Welp.

Boy did the Eagles made this fun to watch! They def deserve this title with their efforts on both ends.

THE 4 POINTS (FG and extra point) WERE CRUCIAL regardless if Ertz scored that TD or not because it could have changed the complexity of the game.

Of course, losing will never feel good but to lose against to a STACKED Eagles team makes it less crushing.

Good season, guys. Media sh**storm bout to commence starting tomorrow but I'm still proud of what the team has accomplished despite of all the controveries this year.

I'm still optimistic about next year win or lose and looking forward to become more active here

[getback]

Feel bad for Malcolm.

 

[jham15]

That is unbelievable lol

 

[WhatisLove]

That Clement TD was ****. However, I am unsure of what to think about Gostkowski seemingly missing that XP on purpose...

 

[danikerhino]

You guys played great. I'm sure Brady will be looking out for blood for the next few years. Kudos for giving us Jimmy G too.

 

[danikerhino]

Proof that stats never tell the full story. That's why I'm not too analytical about sports. I need the eye test to get my fill.

 

[getback]

Yeah I thought the Ertz call was right but the Clement one should've been overturned. Complete crapshoot though. The rules change every game regarding what a catch is and what isn't

what do you mean. the eye test supports that

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Oh yeah, totally forgot about the Clement catch.

I thought you have to establish your feet to complete a catch before going out of bounds. Did not know that his catch started when he CAUGHT the ball first before establishing his feet. It's weird but then again we caught a lot of breaks this season.

But yeah, Malcolm, man. So weird that it was "football performance issue" WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

 

[da hen]

Not sure what happened with Butler.

Also, i strongly believe both OC and DC were not fully committed/focused due to these outside interviews. Good for them personally, but Do Your Job before you move on.

 

[DeadsetAce]

But yeah, Malcolm, man. So weird that it was "football performance issue" WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

yeah i take that as he didn't practice enough. which is BS. sometimes Bill's pride gets in the way. still the greatest, but frustrating to see when it buries you

 

[danikerhino]

what do you mean. the eye test supports that

Eh it doesn't take account for him playing desperately from being behind the whole game. Brady is one of those rare athletes that play better under pressure.

 

[nikekid6]

Love yal

 

[getback]

I'm about to make this night a little less horrible by saying f**k it and copping tickets for Paul Pierce night next week.

"From Hero to Zero." But it wasn't his fault, a lot of things could have happened. I just felt that you give players their due however possible. Butler had an up-and-down year but he KNOWS being in games like the Superbowl. Who knows what made Belichick decide to bench Butler but yeah, he could have made a difference.

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

It all started with with the "Tuck Rule" that should have been a fumble, and ended with a strip sack (idk if I got the terminology right)

Hoping to comeback stronger next year.

Butler is as good as gone and Im not mad at him, almost shed a tear when I read that he said that the team gave up on him...

 

[InTheHallway]

Who are we to question Bill ... In all honesty, I didn't see Butler play much this year ...

But I find it hard to believe the Bademostofthetine or Richards is a better option ...
