The dejected look on Tom Brady's face is priceless, worth every bit of moving down a spot in the draft order. I hate the pats SO much. Their fans are arrogant as shit - I can't wait to see all the whining on PFT.
I will NEVER hope we lose a game to the Pats no matter the implications. We just made it possible for Denver to have home field advantage if they win their last game. Good for those stinking Patriots and their a-hole fans
Jets out Pats lose AGAIN! Two pretty good weeks in a row. Glad we at least had something to do with this one LOL! The Pats hadn't wrapped up home field right? Their game plan looked pretty uninspired for some reason. Wish we could play like that when it matters.
Local Boston rag is whining that Suh didn't get penalized for "low hit" on Brady.... the guy was being face-masked so severely that he could barely see where he was going, for Pete's sake.
With Suh's reputation you KNOW the refs would have flagged him if his play looked the least bit dirty.
Just another example of entitled Patsies fans expecting everything to go their way. Sorry guys, you lost fair and square.

It doesn't surprise me. The Patriot radio announcers are just as bad. One of the announcers is such a homer; some of his rants about how the patriots were robbed are so far off base that you wonder if he is watching the same game. They feed into the Patriot culture.

So they didn't want home field advantage throughout the playoffs?
The running strategy was based on the fact that we have a crappy run defense. Only surprising part was that Belicheat stuck with that strategy as long as he did.
The Pats are hurt. They are literally limping into the playoffs. Gronkowski is not playing lights out and our Corners had a surprisingly good day. SUH and Shelby played well as well. But they wanted it , just not bad enough to risk further injuries. Pats plan was lets grab the first round bye , heal up and try to advance other then going lights out and risking it all.
The Patriots were trying to win but I think they were doing with an eye towards not getting Brady or Gronk hurt. If they weren't trying to win they would have pulled Brady after the Suh hit. It's too bad that the Patriots OL grabbed Suh's face mask, Suh was unblocked with a full head of steam and was about to blow Brady up on that sack.
I think belichick thought they could run successfully the ball and catch a Miami off balance with some passes. The pats didn't establish the run and Miami got a good pass rush.
Totally agree. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Home field is nothing to ignore. Peyton did not start, Osweiler did but eventually, Peyton hobbled in.
Agree, the Pats were playing not to gets any guys hurt. Sure they wanted to win the game but additional injuries would have been far worse than a loss. After all they still get a week off in any event.
Tannehill got hit on the throw to parker and personally I thought it was a great throw.
He gave his big target a chance to catch it and he did just that. That needs to be done more often...not only for the circus catches but the potential PI calls.

Dan has even said that because he had the confidence of his receivers, many times he would throw it in their general direction and have faith his guys would come down with it.
I seem to remember one play that the defender should have intercepted but I don't know if it was the same play. I also remember one fantastic catch but again, don't know whether it was the same play.
If someone can give me the quarter, I can look up the film on nfl.com.
Just saw the re-play. Was it slightly overthrown, yes.
Was it an overthrown ball that Parker stole from the defender..No.
If the defender had been a receiver, it would have been an overthrow even for him.
He had to jump sky high and swat at the ball.
Now, to Devanti. He made the good play on the ball by catching it despite the defender and his hands and the defender's jump all working naturally against him.
So.......not a great or even good throw by Tanny but not a horrible one either.
Great play by Parker though to stop what could have been a great play by the defender and catch the ball as well.
