Don’t even bother: Hatriot nation is too busy gloating about the Pats aren’t in the playoffs. As if 11-5 is an awful record with the horrendous luck this team had from the Brady injury on…

I hope they all get ACL tears, without the benefit of hanging with Giselle to make the pain go away.

Nice try attempting to obfuscate the issue by bringing up the stay in Cleveland. In any other year 11-5 gets you in the playoffs. If the league sucked as bad as Gleek implies that it does, 11-5 should get you in…

How many people have you really heard today touting how “impressive” the season was?

People I’ve heard or read – including Bruce above – have all said the same thing. They could have gotten in the playoffs, even with all the injuries, if they hadn’t lost key games to other playoff contenders like Indy and Pitt, not to mention the Jets loss here. Its a fair assessment.

So I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that people are going on about a “great” or “impressive” season. I haven’t heard that.

Oh Gleek, thank you for providing me with the laugh of the day! The Pats played the same NFC West squad as the rest of the AFC East. There goes half of your argument.

The second half dies with the absolutely insane amount of injuries this team had to endure. Yeah, they had 11 wins… most of which were earned by back ups in critical positions!

The Pats and Dolphins had the same amount of wins and split the head to head series. It’s not like the Lampreys won by a game or two. They WERE TIED.

I’m thrilled with the intelligent responses to my post.

You attract a great crowd Bruce! (Please note heavy sarcasm)

The Pats had one of the easiest schedules I ever seen.
Of the 8 teams the Pats played between the AFC West and NFC west, only ONE of them ended up with a winning record….and that was the stellar 9-7 Cardinals.

The Pats basically picked on the cellar dwellers of the NFL for 63% of their wins this year.

I can see how impressive that feat was! /sarcasm

Finally someone speaking the truth. The Pats should have cruised to a division title even without Brady. Belichick now has 6 seasons without Brady and only once has he made the playoffs. Overrated fraud.

Correct.

Remember the 2006 Steelers, who were coming off a Super Bowl win yet slumped back to 8-8 after Roethlisberger was unable to completely come back from the offseason motorcycle accident.

They had a veteran coach, a veteran defense and a veteran back-up QB, yet they still pretty much quit that season and made all kinds of excuses on their way out the door in December.

King’s info is different because it didn’t come from the team but more likely from Brady’s camp.

Brady has no need to worry about Cassel’s trade value or the possibility of the Players Association filing a grievance on Matt Cassel’s behalf if and when the team franchises him in February. The Pats need to worry about both those things and having this story out there benefits them on both those accounts.

Losing their starting qb/league mvp, the best linebacker, the qb of the defense in Rodney Harrison, numerous injuries along the d-line, and you’re not impressed. What a f&%$ing tool. Any other team would have curled up and finished 4-12 you donkey.
