We went for the field goal instead of the TD with 10 minutes to go. I think the coaching has done a great job this season but I feel they blew this one. You could see the emotion go out of the team, especially when our horrid special teams gave NE the ball on the 35. The field goal still put us 2 scores behind, don't get it.

Yeah, I think so too. A TD would have put life right back in the team. The FG sucked the life out of them and the Patriots jammed the gas pedal to the floor after that.

I think it was over when we demonstrated that we were not going to stop Brady.

I think our offense became irrelevant, because it was clear that the Patriots were going to score as many as they needed.

Our defense has to tighten up.

We have only played two respectable offenses and in those games Dallas has given up 35 and 48 points.

The Brady QB sneak. They had the middled clogged but forgot the B gap.

Numerous objects were thrown around my living room when we kicked the FG.

I agree, I did not agree with the FG choice either.

Starting with 3rd down at the 5, I would have gotten the ball in Barbers hands twice, but that's just me.

It wasn't over at the time but we was still down 1 touchdown when Kosier committed that worthless useless holding when Marion got a first down. In fact, Marion was already passed him and then he started to hold him.

A little before then (end of the 3rd) we had 4th and one at midfield. We should have went for it instead of punting into the end zone.

Or the fact that our offense had a hard time sustaining any drives. Look at the time of possession battle. Yeah the Pats are going to score points, they have a great offense. But our offensive line killed us with penalties today.

It was over when we had three consecutive drives that had holding calls. The 4th and 1, then two more deep in our own territory. It's going to be hard to beat any team when you commit 12 penalties or so for over 100 yards. But you arent going to beat elite teams playing undisciplined football like that.

When we lost the lead is when I knew we were done.

Yup, that was it for me. Especially since Barber had gained a 1st down on that play.
