Patriots getting hosed

[upstater]

In the long run the loss will probably be a good thing. In 2007 the Pats play started going down hill late in the season and continued through the post season. This will relieve some pressure and cause the to refocus. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

The loss is a non-issue. What burned me is the stupid decision of the coaches, which may have lead to a season-altering injury.

Like I feel bad that the pats got hosed for once lol. Didnt the Pats have a 2 TD lead in the 4th quarter against a backup qb.

Yes and they hosed themselves with a muffed punt and letting a runner get to the edge a couple times. Something they never do.
You could see this loss coming they have struggled against lesser teams the last few weeks. They will fix this. They always do. And Denver's back-up QB has played ten times better in his two games than Peyton has this year.

From what I've been reading after the game there is a good chance that Collins, Amendola and Gronkowski could all be back next week. Let Belichick have his one coaching mistake a year happen now rather than in the playoffs

Gronk is fine, Amendola will be back and Edelman will be back for the playoffs. Patriots fans whining about officiating is hilarious, you had a 14 point lead in the fourth quarter and got beaten, it happens.

If the shoe was on the other foot the Broncos would be whining cry babies or haters wouldn't they.

If you could stop being a hater for just a second, I'd ask you this question: why is it hilarious?

If you could stop Brady for two seconds you would understand.

Who posted a few weeks ago that the Patriots had no reason to be complaining about injuries? About that...

Umm yeah about that http://nypost.com/2015/11/29/giants-dealt-huge-blow-as-offensive-lineman-breaks-leg/

 

[intlzncster]

Who gives a crap about a loss? Most people reporting that Gronk's injury isn't serious. Deep bone/thigh bruise. That's all that matters.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about Hightower's knee injury.

Proved my point.

I would call his post a parody but then how could I tell the difference between any of his posts? They are all the same.

It might be that 90% of your posts are about the Patriots, Penn State and UConn basketball not getting calls? Just a wild guess.

Superjohn's posts provide about as much clarity as exists on the Boneyard. You might want to look in the mirror when he calls you out.

What Chung did was textbook def-holding.

So a post that said "Patriots fans" was about 90% of my posts. Uh-huh. A post responding to the OP of this thread. You guys are certainly consistent with your misfires.

Maybe read what I said. You constantly cry about officials in Patriot, Penn State and UConn games.

If someone only had access to your comments they might actually believe there was some giant conspiracy against those teams.

It's good that your constant crying is only the fourth worst thing about this place.

   Sorry but the officials handled the clock exactly the way the rule book reads...when defense has an excess time out you wind the clock

   That's an awful call and not a foul..... No visible restriction

   Jim Daopoulos ‏@RefereeJimD 3h3 hours ago
   You are correct...that action takes place all the time without offensive interference called...this call was very technical and not a foul
4. 10:59 PM - 29 Nov 2015
   Jim Daopoulos ‏@RefereeJimD 3h3 hours ago
   It's whoever makes the initial recovery if that can be determined, otherwise the player who comes out with it usually gets it
5. 10:56 PM - 29 Nov 2015
   Jim Daopoulos ‏@RefereeJimD 3h3 hours ago
   Wow ,quick decision and usually the officials give the ball to the player who comes out with it...this decision is unusual...

   Roughing the kicker is when you contact the kickers plant leg and that did not happen but contact the non kicking leg and body did...

   Jim Daopoulos ‏@RefereeJimD 4h4 hours ago
   When you contact a punter without touching the football you have a foul....only 5 yards but a foul

   Didn't see a lot of illegal action by Gronk on that foul...very little separation and should not have been flagged

Coming from you, a badge of honor.

Yes what a badge of honor. You can join the list of clowns I'm stuck calling out here.

Crying about referees. Pretty sad, but there are worse crimes for sure.

I'm a Giants, Yankees and Knicks fan. I don't like the Red Sox but I've always respected their fans, I like the Celts, I don't like the Patriots but over 90% of it is the fans. As I've stated here many times before growing up in CT. I didn't see any Patriots fans, now when I go back they are everywhere. You talk to any real fans and they will tell you how much they can't stand the pink hats. The Red Sox got some of them when they broke through and started winning in the 2000's but the Patriots seem to have a whole fanbase of them. I'm not sure if upstater is a pink hat or not but he's on a Uconn site and all he ever posts about is his defense of all things Patriots and Penn State football, it's just weird.

 

[whaler11]

There has never been a professional team with fewet fans than the Patrios between 1975/1995.

That they could leverage Hartford for a stadium shows how sad it was.

As far as I am concerned 90% of baseball fans, no matter who they root for, are whiny .

Are there some bandwagon fans? Sure, but this isn't anything new in sports. Whenever a professional sports team wins a lot, bandwagon fans are bound to pop up anywhere. It happened with the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, etc so to use a sweeping generalization to apply to all Boston teams isn't entirely accurate or fair.

 

[1999.2004.2011]

It sucks to lose the game last night, but the reality for the Patriots is that they need to get healthy somehow. Thankfully it doesn't seem like Gronk's injury isn't too severe and that Amendola/Collins could return soon, but it's crazy how many key players have gone down in consecutive weeks
