Tough loss for the Pats.
GB was a much better team, and Rodgers couldn’t be stopped on 3rd down. Pats couldn’t over come some really, really shitty officiating both early and late, and just dropped the ball at the end. Had plenty of opportunity to win, and just couldn’t get it down against a better, overall, team…
Good game, but a total gut wrencher. [/quote]
I think that matchup was going to be won by whomever had home field. In Foxboro it may have been a different story. Enjoyable game although it was weird to see NE so bottled up for much of the game. GB defense has really stepped up.[/quote]
GB beat them in all 3 phases, and in intensity as well. GB made the pats look a lot worse than they are, and still didn’t put up 30+. So You may be right in that on a different field the outcome is different.
However, and I’m not saying this is why they lost, it isn’t, a different officiating crew and you’ll see a very different game played too. I mean, they called 12 men with 11 fucking on the field. I’m pretty sure vegas got to the Ref’s last night, and they wanted a GB victory. [/quote]
Agreed tough loss for the Pats, but if there was to be one the second half of the season I’d rather it’d be this one. The Packers are clearly the best team in the NFL right now, and now, the Pats know what they need to work on.

At least you haven’t been humiliated two weeks in a row by your biggest rivals. Suddenly feels like 2012 again. Andy Reid can be infuriating at times. JC only having 14 touches is a joke.
Game with the Cardinals is huge, both teams have looked a bit shit recently and I think the loser will go into free fall and miss the playoffs.
