Well, that sucked...

Well, they've been playing with fire for years. Never a team to put people away until the early part of this season, they reverted to their old ways of letting teams stay in games and then mustering huge efforts at the end. This time the other guys had a little more at the end than the Pats did.

Some things bothered me;

* the offense looked absolutely lethargic all day, with the exception of the last half of the 4th quarter

* Brady didn't seem to have much left in the tank

* the defense played really well until that final drive when they had at least four opportunities to stop the Giants and didn't do it

* I really didn't like Belichick leaving the field early, I thought that was really classless

Ugh...

I guess this means I have to blog again...

Yay! Kal's back!

That was 3.5 quarters of BORING!

The last few minutes were pretty good.

Seriously didn't think Brady even showed up for the game.

We really have no right to bitch - it's been a great run and between the Sox and the Pats we've got five world championships in six years... but still... to be 18-1.

Ugh, again.

Congratulations on your 18 and ONE season.

Kal said...

Yes, a little different from the Bears' 18-1 in '85, eh?

Oh well. Been listening to sports talk radio today and have been pleasantly surprised by the measured response from the new england sports fans. I think having been on the positive end of several of these 3 point killers helps.

Although I share your disappointment in the outcome, I am glad that I can now read you again.

And the silver lining is that our kids now understand that you can't actually win everything.
