As much as Bill says it and insists, there’s no way he couldn’t be shocked by the performance of his team today. I like that he’s giving credit to the Ravens, and deservingly so, but Bill has to be shocked by what he saw today. You could just see it on his face. Everyone was in disbelief by how this game started, including CBS and its commentators who along with pretty much everyone else, thought this would be the best game of the weekend.

Why does Belichick even have a post game interview? League Rule or what? His interview mirrors how this year’s team played…boring, emotionless and predictable. It boils down to who is hungrier for the win. Look at previous years and it is obvious the Patriots were trying to reach the pinnacle. Now, they know the feeling and it is a been there, done that mentality. It is time to re-tool and offer no more than 2 year contracts as that would avoid complacency.

Do you think there’s any chance the a** kissers on the Big Show will ask ANYTHING resembling a tough question to BB? Or will these clowns continue to wave the pom poms? Fred is stammering twit. Sheppard has the IQ of a rock. And Ordway is a Napoleonic buffoon with staggeringly little sports knowledge.

This game was all on Tom Brady’s shoulders, and, just like the rest of this season has gone, he couldn’t deliver against a good, quick defense. Teams have figured out how to play him – take Moss out of the game (if he doesn’t do so himself), pressure Brady and he will not read the field, just look to get rid of the ball, oftentimes making bad throws that result in interceptions. Happened all year long, and killed them today. The offense had plenty of chances to win the game with the field postion they were given. Brady just couldn’t get it done. I hope he comes to camp looking more like a football player than a model next year…he should get back to the locker room and lead by example. Get that parking space back, Tom!

Lets begin with the TB hat! What ever happened to team colors…that is ….unless you’re competing with your wife for recognition….hollywood Tom needs to be grounded..and shame on the Patriots organization for allowing TB to sport his brand all season instead of the Patriots brand…BIG wake up call!

yup…life could be better…thanks for the short season!

PLEASE: Big Show, I’m begging you!!! Grow some balls and ask the tough questions!

YOU GOTTA LOIVE TIM’S INSIGHT.
SHEPHERD EMULATES THE FABULOUS SPORTS BABE OF YESTERDAY…ABRASIVE. CONDESCENDING. OFFICIOUS. DOGMATIC. POOR LISTENER.DISRESPECTFUL OF ALL.
WHILE YOU MIGHT NOT FIND HIM AT A MENSA MEETING I DISAGREE THAT HE HAS THE IQ OF A ROCK. HE’S A TAD BRIGHTER THAN THAT BUT NEEDS TO MOVE ON.
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN NE SPORTS COVERAGE IS LETTING TEDDY BRUSCHI MOVE ON.

JC: Couldn’t agree more. The problem is, in this town, you have Felger and Mazz and Borges and Shank on one side saying, “Everything sucks, BB sucks, Krafts suck, etc.” On the other side, you have the dipsh*ts on EEI gobbling BB’s knob.

Is it me or could this be the same drivel after the Saint, Colts, Jets etc.

Maybe BB just doesn’t know how to coach anymore. The defense got burned badly a number of times, tackling is spotty.

They did a ok job on the run but when they missed tackles big plays kept the Ravens moving the ball (and clock).

This team needs major help from all over.

Lets to put it plainly we just sucked all year, always just 1 interception or fumble from losing except for a few games. Secondary looked like shit because we have no pass rush, I don’t care whos in the secondary if we have no pass rush they will fail. Lets not blame the lack of pass rushing on Mayo, hes a great player unfortunately that awesome 3&5 round trade for whats his name again? exactly I choose to forget him also, didn’t help open Mayo up to attack the QB. Lets face it the OL is just not what it was, yeh we have some good players worth keeping but we need upgrades. Lets see if I were to draft this year I would start by:

1. RB
1. DE/LB
2. OL
2. WR
2. OL

Then try to trade Maroney for a 3rd round pick, maybe somebody is dumb enough to take him.

What hurts the most is 75% of the team is great for the game we play, unfortunately that will not win you SB’s

Or something in that order since we have 5 of the first 50 picks.

Listen in “Bill we trust”. This Franchise would be nowhere with out him…
That said I expect #96 will be out & use the money to hopefully bring a couple of guys from Carolina in ie. J Peppers & throw some picks @ them for Steve Smith. Lets face it as much as I luv him Welker is dun. Steve Smith is more dynamic and would thrive as a leader and playmaker on this team. At times this team lacks fire & leadership. Matt Light move on over, clearly the upside on this years team was S. Volmer.Brady will be better next year. The guy has to be clearly hurt. I swear I was watching somebody else wear the #12 jersey this year. A good off season and this team could be right back to the top.
