Big loss for pats.  Denver now has inside edge for the 2nd bye.

Honestly, I think the only reason the Pats got back in the game was the injury to J Smith.  Once the 9ers couldn't rush Brady, he had time to pick them apart.

Stout d-lines that rush the passer have success against the Pats.  It's really the only way to beat them.

I'd be worried if there was a good chance of the Patriots having to face a team like that on the road in the playoffs.

The Pats might have to go to Denver or Houston to make it to the Super Bowl, but that wouldn't scare me too bad.  Most of the teams that should really scare the Patriots are in the NFC.

Denver is probably the only AFC team NE should be "worried" by.

SF and NYG (if they even make the playoffs-ugh)are the two NFC teams.  I believe they'd beat GB or Atl.

Yeah.  Most likely I think NE will have to beat the Bengals or the Colts, then the Broncos, then the Texans.  In the Superbowl, it'll be the Falcons or the Packers.

The Patriots have no historically been a great road playoff team.  But they've already beaten their two main competitors in the AFC.  And the teams most likely to come from the NFC don't fit the profile of teams most likely to give the Pats a tough time.

Not at all a believer in the falcons. They are known for doing good during the regular season and then laying an egg in the playoffs. No way they get to the superbowl.

Anyways, im really bummed out about this loss. Now we won't get the bye week which is huge. We have never made the superbowl without the bye week. A patriots loss always kills me more than a celtics loss, im beyond annoyed right now.

Fluky game.  Nobody could hold onto the ball in the first half, and more loose balls found red and gold.  The gap should have been wider at halftime, to be honest.

I'd like to see the two teams meet again, without crappy weather or an injury getting in the way.  I don't think this was a good representation of which of these teams is better.

I agree 100 percent with this. We made soooooo many mistakes. I really wanted to grab ridley and choke the s*** out of him. In my opinion his fumble was the most costly play in the game. That and letting the 49ers score on TWO PLAYS right after we tie the game?! Its gonna take me awhile to get over this one. I really wanted that BYE week.

Bummer of a loss.
Hopefully the Pats players and coaches can take something from this, that it makes them mad, and makes them play hard through the rest of the season.

On the flip side, I was pretty happy with ATL yesterday...

I don't think the Patriots will get back to the Super Bowl. They always look awesome in the regular season but then not so good.  I don't know whats so scary about 29 incompletions, 2 interceptions, and a 68 QB rating.

Were the replacement officials back for these game? Officiating was pretty horrible in both directions.

Brady has slowly degenerated into Peyton Manning around the time Peyton was throwing Super Bowl losing interceptions. This represents an epic downgrade.

Nice half so far.  O and D playing well against a Miami team that is not looking very crisp today (so far).  Really good protection for Brady so far today.

Would be great to hang on and secure a bye.
