I've been a Patriots fan since the Ben Coates and Terry Glenn days. I can never tell if people are actually serious when I see stuff like "Brady choked, blah blah blah." He only put up 500 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs with no Brandin Cooks.

I don't care about the calls, we didn't lose because of them. We didn't lose because a 40 year old QB didn't catch a ball that he wasn't going to score on anyway. We lost because the defense gave up 41 points on 538 yards, including 10-16 on third down conversions. We lost because our kicker missed an extra point and a field goal.

Despite our second best corner getting benched before the game even started we were still in it at the end. Let's be real, before the strip sack y'all were thinking "Oh shit, not again!" The Eagles didn't shrink when the heat was on and they out-coached the Patriots. So hats off to em. But every time we lose a big game people say it's over for the Patriots and they just bounce back like a basketball. It's ok to have hopes and dreams though.

The sky fell in here in Patriotsland. Wow. I watched the postgame lowlights on local TV.

It appears that the Patriots got out Patrioted. Brady gagged at the worst possible moment with that strip sack.

No idea why Belichick benched Malcolm Butler. Dafuq?

The refs allowing those two PHI TDs, especially the one where the receiver clearly had one foot out of bounds in the back of the end zone, will go down as some of the worst officiating ever in championship play.

PHI won. But it’s tainted.

You only need two feet in bounds for it to be a touchdown, which he had. The third step being out of bounds is moot. The officiating was fine for this game.

The NFL needs to make clear whether a "voluntary adjustment" of the ball counts as Control.

From one perspective, Corey Clement didn't have Control of the ball, because the ball moved to a position where his arm wasn't touching it. From the opposite perspective, the ball movement was a "voluntary adjustment" of the ball - where voluntary automatically means he had Control.

The Ertz touchdown was not controversial.

Foles is a better pure passer than Wentz, he's also more experienced. Wentz does a few things better, but I don't think there is any dropoff with Foles, in fact he might have given the Eagles a better shot at winning.

Foles is going to be a starter on another team next year.

Congratulations to the Eagles, that sack on Brady with a minute left was probably the moment Pats fans committed sudoku. RIP

The Rams bother me now that they have Brandon Cook. They were tough last season, but they should be very dangerous next season unless defenses find a way to stop Goff or figure out what they were doing and take it away from them.

He's good but not great. A vertical threat but scared to go over the middle. Sammy Watkins was better.

Well, technically it was his lack of fear of the middle that cost the Patriots the game. But to your point, hell probably be a lot more scared now.
