We lost the AFC Divisional Round game 24-21 to the Pats after going 14-2. Most painful loss I can remember. The Super Bowl was ours for the taking that year.

AJ provided an awesome team, cant remember but did Belicheat cheated on us on something?

No, Marty had a meltdown and the team followed his lead.

[Boltergeist]

I was thinking about that as I watch the ***** beat the Texans. Still stings.

Was that the INT / Fumble game?

It was the game of many, many mistakes. And the Patriots needed every ounce of every mistake we made to barely win that game.

So, so many mistakes. No mistakes and it's a blowout win.

I mean, if you take away even ONE of those several mistakes (I'm not even talking about the McCree fumble), we win easily.

They include
Marty going for 4th & 11 in first quarter instead of 49yd FG
Eric Parker fumble\muffed punt returned
Eric Parker key drop pass
Marty for reason unknown stop feeding LT the ball in the second half
Drayton Florence head butt
Jammer getting beat deep by Caldwell

Painful this should of been our Super Bowl year

Let's not forget 'Vincent Jackson doesn't drag his feet in the end zone'

I thought of 'Eric Parker's very bad day' quite a bit yesterday. Glad someone else remembers.

Didn't Castillo also have some penalty that erased a turnover or a drive stop? I might be conflating that w/the DFlo head butt, or the previous year vs Dallas when Castillo lightly touched Drew Bledsoe's helmet and we extended a Dallas drive (home opener).

What a shit day.

There were many self-destructive mistakes and big plays during the whole game, but the most crucial were in the late moment of the 4th quarter after McCree's fumble. Jammer gave up a long gain to old pal Reche Caldwell on 4th down. NE wasn't going to win had we stop that 4th down. They withheld that play all game until that moment.

And we drove the ball back to their end zone, only to see Seau stuffed LT on 4th and goal. They made the 4th downs and we didn't.

The abandon of Martyball in the 2nd half was mostly because NE made adjustment and stack the box more in the 2nd half, after a good 1st half by LT. It was more of a Cam Cameron thing than a Marty thing. Cam is generally a pass happy guy.

Oh man ... my son and I were there it was gut wrenching

For me it was the head butt more than anything, the McCree move was dumb but at least he made a play and an effort....
