This may be my last chance at an optomistic post fof the Pats this year since we don't know the extent of Gronks injury, so I'll use it to hope Danny will be back next week, Gronk will have a severe bone bruise and miss a couple weeks, an Edelman will be back for the first playoff game. Somehow we keep home field and charge into the playoffs healthy and ready.
Glad the undefeated season is done.
In a way, I'm also glad the undefeated season is no more. As I've said before, I think not losing during the '07 regular season hurt that team in the long run.
That said, I've gotta lay into the Pats for yet again failing to run out the clock. I've lost count of how many times this team has had the ball, with the lead, with about 3 minutes or less remaining, and all they have to do is get one or two first downs and the game is over, but they fail to do that, and the opponent gets one more shot at victory—sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding. It's something the Patriots are just not very good at, and it came back to bite them tonight.
