That Patriots game was just painful to watch. The Jets didn't win it, the Pats lost it. Crumpler's drop, fake punt that let to a Jets TD, and the 8 minute Drive To Nowhere in the 4th quarter. The whole game was just surreal, I don't know what's going on with Brady and Belichick, maybe they just got complacent, but that's 3 playoff losses in a row.
They need to step their fucking game up. Their last Super Bowl win was 7 years ago, they're choking in playoff games, and Brady's not getting any younger. This loss falls squarely on Belichick and Brady's shoulders, and if they want to be in the pantheon of greatness that they should be, they're gonna have to take care of business.
Exremely disappointing loss, not because they lost, but because they shouldn't have lost and they simply pissed it away. The Patriots ARE the most dominant team in the league, but what makes them special is also their Achilles heel. Their capacity to click and be tuned into each other as one unit also means they can be subject to periods of mass neurosis/dysfunctionality where everything seems to go wrong.
And the Jets absolutely suck. They don't have a prayer at the Super Bowl.
