You guys are lucky Les Miles was Matt Flynn's coach.

Post game conference... Belichick sounds and looks like his dog just died.

He should, that was one poor performance and he is in charge...with all due respect to the Packers, who could have rolled over on this game, that game shouldn't have been as close; it seemed like the recent run of 'nothing ever goes wrong' made the Pats complacent. When your victory is sparked by a 71 yd ko return by an O lineman (why couldn't he have scored...would have been a play for the ages) then you need to A) thank your lucky stars B) have a little talk with the team about the first round of the playoffs last year. They are getting near 1 and done time and against a level 1 QB in the playoffs that might have been 'done'. He also probably didn't wnat anybody to show the bolts, steelers, ravens or dolts a way to move the ball on the D.

It wasn't a very pretty game, I can see why Bill would be POed. The team clearly took the Packers lightly and with the Bills coming up it may happen again

Is it just me or is Brandon Merriweather the worst free safety in the league? The one thing you absolutely have to be able to do when you are FS is play the angles and game in and game out he continues to show a complete lack of expertise in this area, as he takes out his own players more often than the other teams'. If the guy hasn't got it by now he never will. Where's Fred Marion when you need him...

Yup - tcbg and I say this every single week (at least once). He does make a good play here and there, but the number of bad plays and penalties far outweighs any of his positive attributes.

It's not just you. I'd be shocked if he's playing for NE next September.

I hope you're right.

Fletcher's sack was huge,

*giggle*

What a game!! Way too close for comfort for New England. Nothing to add that hasn't already been said, other than to reiterate how awesome the runback by Connolly was.

Yeah, he takes awful routes to tackle people and he basically goes for the kill shot instead of the tackle. Hence the penalties and fines.

It's probably been said, but thank you Les Miles.

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Good game, especially for the intrinsic value of getting the Patriots' heads readjusted back to reality.

Couldn't Flynn have spiked the ball and still had time for an end zone pass?

Was that Brady that bumped into Flynn and banged his helmet? Classy

If you're talking about the last play, I believe it was 4th down, so he couldn't spike.

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

What kills me about Meriweather is that he's been in the League for four years and never seems to get any better. He strikes me as a guy who gets as far as his physical ability can take him because there's nothing upstairs that works in his favor. Ship him out in the offseason, for sure.

And on that Chung/Arrington tackle, I guess now they're saying it was Chung, which is what it looked like to me originally. Big, big play.

If Wes Welker was going to pick a game to suck in, I guess yesterday was a good day for it, man did he suck. Good the Law Firm and Woodhead were ready to go
