Ha! When you are wrong you just degenerate to making things up. I said that losing Wilfork was not the catastrophe every one said it would be. So far I am right.

So, stop just making things up.

Do us all a favor and just SHUT THE FUCK UP, your a proven moron to all who follow football and post in these threads.

Refs are refs (it is what it is). SEA needs to remember to ignore the calls and play--use it as a motivator. You cannot control the refs/bad calls, but the key is remaining focused.

That said there have been some calls, poor or not (I think they are poor), that have been significant as they changed the score or continued IND drives: the Safety instead of a TD on the punt block (looked like a TD), the PI call on Tate (did Tate even tough him? Ref was from the other side of the field), Baldwin being tackled before he got the ball and no PI called, and the PI call against Browner (questionable).

Oh well, that is how it goes. Typical of a road game--so it is up to Seattle to raise their level of play. You cannot blame the refs.

Oh I'm not going to blame the refs regardless of how this game turns out- just bitching on here over a couple really bad calls
 
Wilfork definitely not missed when 94 for the Bengals came through the middle like a bowling ball making way for the running back. lol
 
So much talk about wilfork like he's the most important thing.... Not the fact that the receiving core of the pats is the weakest in the league.
Maybe with the return of gronk it might be a little bit better but he's playing with nobodies.

I think his confidence is in decline for sure

Your's would, too, if you had those receivers!

On SEA: 6 penalties, 80 yards. SEA gives up a lot of 3rd down stops with penalties. That, more than anything, they need to improve on.

What about the possibility that Brady's skills are in decline?

Uh, he's 4-0 currently soon to be 4-1 with a full group of rookie receivers. Name one group of receivers with more rookies than the pats?
They're signing people left and right to even field enough receivers.
Then again, I expect this type of talk in this day and age of doom and gloom type talk.
The pats defense, even without wilfork though have been the most important part of the pats though.
Tbh though I love bb, but a lot of his is his fault due to keeping starters in in games that are clearly won and getting them injured. Aka gronk.

Pats have scraped the bottom of their roster before and he did fine. I honestly wonder if he's not...sad for a lack of a better word.

Imagine if you lost everyone you throw too and they all get replaced by rookies and rejects.
I will say the that nfl fans and sports fans in general only look at game by game and NEVER big picture. This one loss while a loss in the big scheme of this season means nothing. The most important thing for NE is can they get their receivers healthy and can they actually acquire someone who is elite other than gronk. Picking up everyone else's rejects isn't how you build an offense.

Yes because they were forced to let one of the premier wide receivers in the nfl just walk. 🙄

Tom Brady now has the same surrounding talent Donovan McNabb had for years.

I'm just saying that if he had Jerry Rice and Herman Moore catching his passes, if he was in the mental state he's in now he wouldn't be doing any better.

Of course his mentality is tied to not having the receiving corps he is used to. So he lost his receivers and then lost his confidence.
