Watched the Pat's post game media activity

[Jim H.]

Both Billy B. and Tommy B. spoke as if they had ashes in their mouths.  Loved it.

[Shane Bond]

LOL

And watching their fans in east coast walking like a zombie.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

And at the end of the day they are 10-1 and if Gronk didn't tear anything, they won't be fretting too much.

[shakedownstreet]

Belichick always sounds like that

[Vinatieri4]

Yeah, just what we need is an angry Patriots team (

[crazycolt1]

Oh, the whole world is going to shake.

I am trying very very hard not to say something negative

[Iancolts]

Gronk is probably done. I watched how the refs gave it to patriots was laughing so hard. Collinsworth is a patriots lover even he couldn't make excuses last night.

[RockThatBlue]

Skip Bayless went on his usual *ic diatribe blaming the refs. He said the real score was Refs 30 Patriots 24. What a clown.

[jet1968]

BB is always full of valuable knowledge in his media appearances

[Blue Horseshoe]

Tom Brady is just furious that there were rules broken and that the penalties for breaking them were not enforced.

[ColtRider]

I'm all broken up. I'd like to know how many times rules were broken and penalties on the Patriots have not been enforced. I'd be willing to bet they lead the league in that intangible category.

Bluehorse was sarcastic

Thanks, SB. I know. I just wanted to go on record that Tommy Boy & the Pats are pretty much hypocritical when things don't go their way. But, I digress ...

[Jim H.]

Read the responses saying BB is always like this.  True...but this time was special - along the lines of the two SB losses to New York.  Brady wasn't even completely dressed and looked more than a little disheveled.  Loved it.

[DougDew]

And at the end of the day they are 10-1 and if Gronk didn't tear anything, they won't be fretting too much.

Nah.  The loss to Denver and the inability to get a perfect season is real big blow.  Don't let them fool you into thinking they just care about another SB.

[21isSuperman]

Belichick gave a reporter one of the meanest death glares I've ever seen.  It was like he was staring right at the reporter's soul and freezing it with each passing second.

[-JJ-]

I know huh.  Wicked stare

 

One of his famous type answers is "what do you think"  He said that in this PC when a reporter asked something stupid.

[dgambill]

I wish our team played with that passion sometimes. Belicheck is always salty win or lose...and if you ask him dumb questions about some horrible officiating or players taking out his best player then sure he is going sound glum. Nothing new. It does go to show though that next player up can only go so far...eventually it will bite you like on that punt return.

 

Tom on the other hand didn't let the fact that he was playing with a bunch of practice squad scrubs deter him or hold his teammates any less accountable. I loved the fire he played with. He wasn't backing down and made some incredible plays. They should have won that game...they gave it away on top of having a Colorado avalanche of bad calls go against them. Let's put it this way...took the best defense in the AFC on the road playing down his best 3 offensive weapons and several OL and defensive stars along with a host of terrible calls to finally beat this team. Going to be a tough out in January if they get back healthy by then. That last minute drive was just clutch by Tom....and he honestly had likely a game winning first down the drive before when the refs took it away with the pass interference call. I will say...that is the very reason you want to play them at home in the playoffs....those calls and breaks go the other way there. I still think they will have HFA but the AFCs best opportunity to beat them will be to force them on the road.

[MartinPeterson]

And at the end of the day they are 10-1 and if Gronk didn't tear anything, they won't be fretting too much.

 

Brady is even angrier than before now so maybe the Broncos did the rest of us no favors! Gronk to miss just one game apparently. I think the loss will help them focus without the need to think about "perfection". I wouldn't be surprised to see Carolina freeze at some point in the next couple of games.

[MartinPeterson]

I'm all broken up. I'd like to know how many times rules were broken and penalties on the Patriots have not been enforced. I'd be willing to bet they lead the league in that intangible category.

 

 

I dunno, phantom whistles last week and some truly questionable calls last night, maybe he has a point. It was like watching Joey Crawford ref a Pacers game at times!

What are these questionable calls? People immediately went to blaming the refs, but I'm not sure what calls are even being complained about.

Given what you have shared here in the past, I cannot believe you would approve of Brady berating refs. While the Pats may have gotten some questionable calls against them, Brady was not flagged for behavior that would have drawn a flag had it been almost any other QB.

I believe every team has been a victim of bad calls by the refs, not only the Pats.

Both teams have injury issues. And the calls the refs made were not as horrible as it is made. Brady does a great job crying and whining to make it look like one. Coincidentally, he does this a lot when they are losing.

 

Denver made more plays.

The stupidity that counts as media these days.  "What does it feel like to lose Gronk?".....it feels like you need to get a job you're better at.

He's a derp.

Very opinionated but ESPN could pay me 6-7 figures to complain all the time and be controversial. I wouldn't care if everyone hated me.

[buccolts]

It could have been any one of their 5 penalties.

Let's just say it was all 5.

[Superman]

It must have been. The Patriots never commit actual penalties. Must have been another Goodell witch hunt.

I approve of any player berating the refs

[bluebombers87]

I approve of any player berating the refs

Can I come to your job and yell at you when you make a mistake/tough call?

[BOTT]

Can I come to your job and yell at you when you make a mistake/tough call?

Sure

Refs get yelled at all the time. I'm sure the ref didn't lose any sleep because Brady yelled at him.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Skip Bayless went on his usual *ic diatribe blaming the refs. He said the real score was Refs 30 Patriots 24. What a clown.

Skip is a clown. He goes out of his way to bash Andrew and he loves Tom and the Patriots. I took so much satisfaction watching him squirm this morning on 1st Take. He almost looked like Belichick when BB was talking in his Post Game Conference.

[bluebombers87]

Sure

Refs get yelled at all the time. I'm sure the ref didn't lose any sleep because Brady yelled at him.

So you think it's acceptable for people to be yelled at so long as they're used to it?

[Vinatieri4]

I am trying very very hard not to say something negative

 

It was a half joke, but seriously lol like the Patriots need any more motivation.. It's a forum, you shouldn't have to try that hard to get all emotional 

[2006Coltsbestever]

And at the end of the day they are 10-1 and if Gronk didn't tear anything, they won't be fretting too much.

Yeah but they still have a lot of other injuries. Losing Edleman is still a huge blow. Also if they lose 1 more game and Denver runs the table, Denver will get HFA now. Pats could still lose at NY Jets which is very possible. Playing at Miami wont be easy either as that is a huge rivalry. Miami has played them well at times in Miami in the past.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Nah.  The loss to Denver and the inability to get a perfect season is real big blow.  Don't let them fool you into thinking they just care about another SB.

90% of Pats fans wanted the perfect season I agree. I put that % on it because of all the comments I have read on ESPN Boards. Almost all wanted 19-0 and have called every game Tom's revenge tour. So glad they at least lost 1. That loss yesterday has most of their fans in depression mode. Denver's Defense is no joke. They will smack teams around, as Colts fans we witnessed it first hand too but at least we beat them.

[BOTT]

So you think it's acceptable for people to be yelled at so long as they're used to it?

oh good lord. A ref got yelled at....just like refs get yelled at every Sunday.

[bluebombers87]

oh good lord. A ref got yelled at....just like refs get yelled at every Sunday.

And you apparently are ok with that. Some of us aren't. Some of us think it was poor sportsmanship to act that way.

[ColtRider]

It must have been. The Patriots never commit actual penalties. Must have been another Goodell witch hunt.

The "Power of the Dark Side" has been rumored to be in a large, sweltering, red-burning cauldron underneath Gillette where all the shady magic potions reside. I told Roger I would never reveal it's location no matter how many witch hunts surround that facility.

I must have messed up. Three Men in Black visited me today.
