Oddly, I'm a Pats fan who routes for the Jets whenever they are not playing the Pats. One of my very best friends is a Jet Fan. He was 2 when Namath won a title. I'd love for him to experience a title as an adult. For most Pats fans, the Jets are the bitter rival and most hated opponent in the league. Because of my friendship with George, the Jets are actually my second favorite team now.

The bright side? Football will no longer cut into ski time.

Kind of relieved actually. Worst performing Pats team in a decade.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy we decided to keep skiing and not watch the game. Came into the lodge for the last 3 minutes, wow, that was bad and not sorry I missed it.

The snow at Cannon was great though! Not the POW of last Sunday, but still a blast!

The only exciting game turned out to be the Green Bay, Cardnals game. At least was a close game right to the end!!!

That was one wild football game!!!

Pats wise, well unfortunately the highlight at Gillette for me today was a toss up between the deep fried Mac and Cheese balls during tailgating and the flyover by the A-10's. Once kick off happened, not pretty.

One of Brady's worst games as a Pat, and not a goood time for it since Baltimore didn't exactly have a stellar game either.

Give Brady a few months to heal up now, since I'm guessing based on his lack of throwing the balll downfield more than 15 yards, even when he had all day in the pocket, had much to do with the ribs. Plus, today was the 1st time that me and the guys I go to the game with, that we saw Brady during most TV timeouts actually doing regular "warm up" throws to the sidelines, we couldn't recall having seen him do that, let alone with the frequency he did today.

Oh well, now I don't have to do in a few weeks what I did this weekend, which was Friday night, drive from CT to VT, Saturday night drive from VT to CT, Sunday AM drive from CT to Gillette then back to CT and then back upto VT :eek:

as a ravens fan, i respectfully disagree. :)

how did baltimore not have a stellar game? they played old school, smashmouth football and made the pats look mortal. i was surprised by the amount of pressure the ravens were able to put on brady when they blitzed...something they really did not do all that well this year against anyone.

give the ravens their due for forcing some of that bad play! :razz:

As a diehard steeler fan, this is really REALLY hard to say but i thought baltimore played incredible football. They ran the ball at will and made life miserable for the pats offense all day. To me, that game was almost as much of a mismatch as the dallas/philly game.

I hate baltimore more then I do the pats, but you gotta give them their props there. And Ray Rice is the real deal. Flacco will kill them eventually though. :flame:

J.E.T.S. Jets! Jets! Jets!

I was in my glory Saturday night. Interesting to be around all the Giant, Eagle and Steeler fans at Camelback this weekend. Had the Jets chant going in the lift lines. Was not pleased to see the Patriot loss though. I guess I'm like DHS in that I have no hatered for the Pats and root for them when they aren't playing the Jets (very easy to do the last few years when the Jets have been out of it.)

I hate the Pats... :)
They've humiliated the Jets way too much.. Like Buffalo...

My other AFC teams are the Browns and Raiders.

The Jets have humilated themselves. I root for them but they've made some bad moves in the past. Miami, Buffalo, The Dolts(should be Baltimore-will never get over that) I have no love for. Browns I could care less about unless its the playoffs.

Why am I not surprised about the Raiders?
:stirpot:

Having lived in New Hampshire and missing it, New England and Boston teams will always be in my rooting interest. With the exception of the Jets, where I was lucky enough to be invited to many games (and tailgates the real fun) I'm really not a New York Fan. The Devils are NJ and I don't follow hoops. Sox in baseball (can't stand the Yankees).

Born in Cleveland - Dad was a Browns fan... First NFL game was Browns in late 60's... Remember seeing Joe Namath.. Decided I was going to be a Jet fan when we moved to Jersey..

Raiders are just a bad ass team.... :)

flacco is playing hurt...not sure he will kill them, but i doubt he can make enough plays if they get 2 TDs down to the colts.

however, colts run defense is actually WORSE than the pats...so i expect the ravens to game plan another heavy dose of rice, mcgahee and mcclain and try to play keep away from peyton.

Was in Foxboro yesterday (my first Pats game ever)... ugly. Hopefulyl Brady lays low all winter and lets himself heal because he wasn't himself yesterday. Defense played well... can't blame them for Baltimore getting the ball at the pats 25 every drive. They need some big changes up front... D line and linebackers looked lost. Also need some coaching changes... Belichick shouldn't be spending so much time conditioning his own coaches, definitely need better O and D coordinators, especially O.

Funny thing... my dad was at the game in 78 when the Pats last lost a home playoff game against the Oilers. Family curse I guess.

Hopefully things will look up next year after some overhauling. Surprisingly, I'll be rooting for the Jets now.

Defense played well....


i cant help but disagree. when i see 52 rushes for 234 yards, that doesnt conjure up images of the steel curtain or the purple people eaters.....
