Kinda ironic that Belichick is the one who championed this rule change and it ended up possibly costing him another SB appearance.

I'm glad you qualified that with "almost" because that miss was in the first quarter, New England had 47 minutes of football to make that point not matter, one game never defines a game but especially not one play that early in a game

If Belichek doesn't lose to the Fins in week 17, or doesn't give the ball to the Jets first in OT, he would have had/might have had HFA anyway and he would have beaten Denver with HFA. Anyone else notice Gronk gasping like a fish on the sidelines halfway through the 3rd?

Really shouldn't have even come down to those games. The Eagles loss was by far the worst loss of the regular season. I've seen some shitty losses by the Pats, but I've never seen the Pats botch a game (where they really were supposed to kick the dog shit out of their opponent) that badly before. Of the 35 points the Eagles put up, only 14 of them were scored offensively. Pretty fucking bad.

 

The 2 losses to end the season didn't even bother me that much. The Jets were tough this year, they split against them, whatever. And the Pats were so beat up by week 17, that having a vanilla game plan was justified. I said before the Miami game, that they should have just throw the C team out there.
