funny you should say that, i've always thought NE were "ass" :lol:
don't kid yourself, NE weren't bored, it was a close game all game, and you have to know the pride that NE play with, there's no way in hell they wanted to lose to Miami, a division rival, especailly in light of Miami's poor record this season. NE doesn't like losing to anybody, that should be pretty obvious i think, their record over the past few seasons speaks for itself, they are a Dynasty no doubt, and for Miami to know that they can and did beat one of the elite teams of all time is something that they can really look back on and use to inspire themselves with, and also somethign that nobody will ever be able to take away from them for the rest of their lives. not too many teams, have been able to beat NE over tha past few years, i'll give credit where credit is due, Buffalo spanked NE last year, but that was before they really got the ball rolling, Miami not only beat NE, they ended a NE winning streak.

Like I said, NE got sloppy and complacent and Miami took advantage of that. That was a good lesson for NE to re-learn about never resting on your laurels.

true enough, i'm not saying NE played their best game, because they obviously didn't or they would've won, BUT, it's not as though they played an absolutely horrible game either, they competed, and were winning for most of the game, and they put 20+ points up on the board, they gave it a decent effort, just a few key errors that cost them, and on the other side of the ball, Miami tightened up and played a more disciplined, smarter game, something they're fully capable of doing against other teams, but it seems they often lack the focus or direction necessary, obviously a big part of that this year was the fact that so many people were coming in and out of the organization, i have faith that they will be a much improved team next season under coach Saban, and with the addition of a new RB.

The Pats DID play a pretty good game, not perfect but they looked like they deserved to win it. I was amazed how quiet the field was once the fireworks died down...maybe I'm spoiled from seeing all them kids on the Lightning freaking out when they won the Cup, but I thought it was kinda unimpressive.

are you kidding me!?!?!?! that performance was way over the top! with all the fans colour coordinated to spell out NA NA in red whiate and blue, and the way everybody on the field had a lighter, the fantastic light show, and when he had THE ENTIRE STADIUM sing along with him...AND THE FIREWORKS...if that's not a Gala event i don't know what is. IT'S PAUL FREAKIN' MCARTNEY IN A STADIUM OF 80 000+ @ THE SUPERBOWL!
