Did The Pats Choke Or Get Beat?
I know everybody wants to pretend like yesterday didn’t happen. Like it was just some sort of awful dream. I’m no different. I’m still stunned to shit that we lost. I’m still in total disarray. I haven’t heard from Jerry yet and am legitimately concerned he’s dead. I keep seeing KFC’s dumb ass blogs pop up on the sidebar and want to puke. It’s just an absolute nightmare that I can’t wake up from. But I do have to ask the one burning question that is still on my mind. Do people think we got beat yesterday or that we choked?
For me the answer is simple. We choked. The Jets were exactly who I thought they were. No better. No worse. I didn’t expect another 45-3 victory. I thought we’d grind out 7-10 point win. I feel like if we played them 100 times we’d win 90 of them. I still feel that way. And before people say I’m a sore loser go back and read what I said after the Giants beat us in the Superbowl. I said we got beat by the better team, but I didnt’ feel that way at all yesterday. The Patriots just made one uncharacteristic unforced mistake after another. It should have been 14-0 after the first quarter. The Brady INT on a screen pass was a joke. Crumpler dropping a TD was a joke. We moved the ball at will for the first 15 minutes and had nothing to show for it and it had nothing to do with the Jets. It was all our own mistakes. The fake punt was a layup if Chung doesn’t drop the ball. Again nothing to do with the Jets and it turned into 7 for them. The end result was that we got caught in the exact type of game that they wanted. Slow, mistake filled, etc. That’s not how you win playoff games. That’s not how the Pats went 14-2. We win games by playing fundamental football and letting the other teams implode. Yesterday we imploded. We never put the pressure on the Jets offense which is when they are at their worst because we blew so many opportunities. And then we played like a dickhead in the 4th quarter with that “30 minute drive to nowhere” Just frustrating as hell. Again I hate losing, but it’s about a billion times worse when you feel like you just flat out choked and that’s exactly how I feel right now.
Vote 1 for we got beat and 10 for we choked.

Maybe if you weren’t such a prick and jinxed us. Next year you better keep your mouth shut and save your shitty made t-shirts until AFTER the superbowl, asshole.
Actually if you played them 3 times you’d lose 2.
No one wants to hear this, however, we will be the team to beat next year…yeah this sucked but at the start of the year NO ONE thought we would be going to the SB.
inb4 the haters, we choked. Fair and square, you can’t deny it. If Deion hadn’t dropped that last pass, it would have been a different football game. Simple as that, shit happens.
First fucking thing I have heard that makes sence this morning. If you were to define “Choke” in Websters SEE:PATRIOTS/JETS Playoff game. Nuff said
Well this the Patriots choked. However, the Jets were the better team, flat out. I don’t give a fuck what any of you say, the Pats got dominated last night.
pres, this article is a fucking joke. when is somebody in the boston sports media gonna start getting on brady for being a pussy with long hair that chokes in the big games? he doesn’t have the fire that he once had. i thought barstool would bring the heat but you sound like just another idiot. jerry thorton will be worse.
i’m sick of the boston pussies. nobody has fire anymore. the sports witers suck and so do the fans.
It was not a choke-Jets were the better team. Sanchez missed an opportunity on the 1st drive. The Jets got screwed 3 points on the FG (it was good). Jets should have scored at least 10 more points. The score was not a true representation of the assbeating that the Pats got. Jets were the best team in the East this year. Pats love to run up the score on teams and pound their chests; but in reality they were not as good as the Jets.
The Jets beat the Pats. If they “choked” it was because of what the Jets were doing, so the credit goes to the Jets. The Max protect coverages worked and there was simply no place to throw the ball.
Fuck Yeah! GO BUFFALO BILLS!!!
The fact is that the Patriots get beat in the Playoffs every game they don’t cheat.
As much as I want to puke as I type this… Jets beat the Patriots because of their CBs. The Jets defense had the Patriots WRs covered all day. How many plays did we watch with Brady having 10 seconds of time (an enternity in the pocket) and nothing. Usually with that much time, someone gets open.
Also, their 4th quarter clock killing drive also was a clusterfuck.
Give credit where credit is due, the Jets wanted it more. They were angry. They had a world of doubters to prove wrong. They wanted to vindicate their December blowout. They were sick of listening to people diss Mangold’s sister, Cromarties dozen kids, and Rex’s foot fetish.
Jets showed little/no class when they won. They are a bunch of immature punks.
Stop it with the “we choked” bullshit. There were times when Brady had all day in the pocket and couldn’t find a receiver. We got our asses handed to us, as painful as it is to say that. Outcoached, outplayed, out everything. And KyB, seriously? Maybe you could just have El Pres throw in the mortal lock for next year too and jinx the band even more. At least I’m man enough to say we got beat, fair and square.
The Patriots got beat. That Jets defense was swarming and forced the Pats into making mistakes. No shame in owning it, they got beat plain and simple. Kudos to the Jets for absolutely buzzing around the field like a crazed pack of baboons and completely taking the Pats out of their game. Brady and Belichick will be seeing Cromartie and Ellis in their Nightmares for the next 6 months.
That being said, Fuck the Jets. I hope they lose by 100 in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
the jets won at the line of scrimmage–if you can’t see that, you were watchign with blinders on. Simply put the jets offensive and defensive line dominated the game. Constant pressure on brady forced him to be uncomfortable throughout. The Jets ran effectively and protected sanchez when necessary. That’s how you win in the NFL–see Bears/Packers/Jets/Steelers. All those teams do exactly what is stated above.
Knee Jerk reactions to Jerry’s suicide should be blogged in the next 45 minutes and i can’t wait.
Little bit of both. I hate the Jets but they played near perfect and mistake free football. The Patriots have been playing mistake free since damn near October.
The Jets did what they had to do, and the Pats did not do what they were expected to do.
Don’t get too upset, Pats fans. All is not lost. You can still count on the BC Men’s Hockey team to bring national championships home to Boston.
Rex would love the “heel job” the bottom girl is giving the other in that photo.
We choked/They beat us = Same Result
Belichick cannot replicate the ’01 magic.
Brady lost his MoJo a while back.
The Dynasty is officially OVER.
How long till pitchers & catchers report?
This is fun.
The JETS corners and pass protection packages were AWESOME.
Prez – I don’t what game you watched, but Steve B. I’m sure will help you get over it.
Detox – Good Point – I’ve been saying this now forever – Brady isn’t great – he throws screens and had many breaks. The Tuck Rule gave him a freebie – no way the Raiders didn’t win that game. They went on to beat the Rams via the the ole’ Sony BetaCam play
Are you serious with this shit? Choking? Spoken from the same group of fans who claim there was no ‘luck’ involved in all of NE’s magic in the 90′s… “winners win when it matters” is what we heard you say for years. Face it, Brady is 5-5 in his last 10 playoff starts (with quite a few turnovers, to boot) He’s one or two playoff rounds away from being on-par with the hated (albeit superior) Peyton Manning in playoff record… then what? You’ve got some big wins over the years congrats.
And wtf is with Foxborough clearing out with 2 minutes to go? You fuck-ups pontificate about the brilliance of Tom Brady and then leave him high and dry when it is supposed to be ‘his time’? He was an onsides kick away from pulling out a Manningesque comeback… I hate both teams but hoped NE pulled it out just so 50,000 people would feel like idiots for leaving.
1st stage of grief is shock and denial pres. a lot of NE fans are handling this pretty well but you’re acting like you’re fucking grandma just died.
it’s both.
pats choked: dropped TD, dropped 4th down, drained the clock in the 4th qtr, tried a trick play like a desperate team when only down by 4.
Got beat: jets didnt make mistakes and stuck to what they do best.
The Patriots have not won a playoff game since the season of Spygate. Carma is a bitch. It gets you every time.
And they are still cheating (which is pitiful):
http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/video_patriots_player_first_sideline_VMQeuIbMl7GLIJWCS3vAvL
pats got outcoached and outplayed. brady’s interception was bledsoe-esque.
that said, they still choked. they did not play anywhere near the level they had been previously. the struggled to make adjustments, and the receivers dropped too many passes.
if by choke you mean gagged on bart scott’s dick then i guess that works…
Belichick lost us the game. He was being arrogant and trying to prove how great he is. The fake punt, really? There is so much more bad that can come from that than good. If you get the first down ok, but now you still have 60 more yards to go. If you dont get the first down you give the Jets the ball inside your 40 and almost guaranteed points. Going into halftime down 7-3 isn’t that bad. but 14-3 and the way it happened it was game over from that point. And what was with the absense of BJGE? He rushes for over 1000 yards in the regular season and in the playoffs hes not even a part of the game plan. And why? Because Belichick wanted Woodhead to have a big day to run it into the Jets just a little more. And what was with the play calling under 6 minutes left in the game. Down by I think 10 at that point and theyre running draws and HB runs up the middle ever play.
Pats didn’t “choke”, they got beat fair and square. They never had control of this game nor were they ever close to taking it . They were outplayed and out coached
Stop making f*cking excuses and accept the beating with class just as we did in the 45-3 loss. That was your day, this was ours. Only difference is that this game was worth something. You’re only making it worse by making excuses.
What picks do the Pats have in the draft? Should they draft a QB?
Belichick/Brady cannot win in the playoffs without cheating. Yesterday proved that.
We got beat by a better more experienced defense, who completely shutdown our offense because we were afraid to even try. I would of rather been blown out by atleast attempting to play football like we normally do rather then run the ball like that. Brady was afraid to throw another INT which I knew would come to haunt him.
Anyone else think Deion Branch’s missed catch on the 4th down conversion was at least some what catchable?
The Patriots did not choke. They got beat plain and simple. The line got pressure in the beginning, with elliis’s sacks. Then the secondary played absoultly lights out. You know why the pats offense took so much time during that fourth quarter drive? because they had no idea what the fuck coverage the D was in . Like Wes Welker said after the game
“You work all week on one thing and then you get something different,” Asked to elaborate, Welker said the Patriots planned for man coverage, only to be stifled by a mix of zone defenses.”We tried to make adjustments, but we never really could get in a rhythm,” he said.
The Patriots were out coached and out played that entire game. Even the players admitted it.
You got beat! Just accept it. Brady got sacked 5 times and was confused the whole game. Sanchez ate up your team. If the jets learned how to recover fumbles that were right between their legs, this game would have been worse. I wish Braylon Edwards would go up to your shit hole office and back flip right onto your pathetic mush of a desk!
“NE’s magic in the 90′s”…huh?
we got beat…coverage was ridic…never seen brady hold the ball for so long
2010 AFC East Champs! Who else has this hat? Mine is blue and is awesome.
@cheatingpatriots pretty sure we went to the superbowl after we got caught for spygate so idk what you’re talking about now winning any playoff games since then…
The cheating comments are ridiculous. Typical Jets fan. Discredit your teams phenomenal game and execution by talking about what the Pats do or don’t do.
And the NEW ENGLAND FANS. Think its about time to acknowledge that what you saw 7 years ago was a special moment in time? 2 words DALLAS COWBOYS.
Brady isn’t as bad as you make him sound today and he wasn’t as good as you made him sound them. Like everything else, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Now go and get your fuckin shinebox….
hey BlackDude, 28-21. Get used to that for the next 8 months
I feel like one of the girls that works with Max Hardcore…just straight up abused.
Pres, why are you such a pussy. Admit it, the Pats fucking lost, period. Quit making excuses on why. The Jets beat you earlier in the season, so quit acting so shocked. The Browns also beat your ass this year. You got on a roll, and then you lost. It’s called a streak, and yes they do come to an end.
On a better note, can we get more pics of those chicks rassling????
Tom Brady is handsome
Kay, glad to see you’re still kicking.
Dooba- Dynasty has been over for a while bro, Pats fans finally starting to admit it.
Pretty sure Tampa Jack got lost in the jungle on revis island
When the Pats had those two great looking drives in the first quarter and wound up with a grand total of three points, my first reaction was, UH-OH.
0 – 42
Everything went wrong last night, but really we were beaten by the Jets secondary. Since the Pats have become a passing team Brady can’t cope when all his targets are covered. And they sacked the shit out of him too.
Patriots were beaten by a team that completely outplayed them yesterday. Beat on the line of scrimmage, beat in the shit talk mind game, outplayed and outcoached. New York hasn’t had that much to celebrate lately but they are celebrating this and rightly so. Rex Ryan being talked about like the greatest coach in history and not even getting to a superbowl let alone win one is the only enjoyable part of it. Rexy said they would win the superbowl and a loss in Pittsburgh or even the big show is failure – that’s the attitude you have to have to win it all. A bigger group of douchepiles is impossible to find in one organization right now. Rex Ryan, Antonio Cromartie, Braylon Edwards, Bart Scott, etc. I know I speak for all stoolies when I suggest A-level hotties today all day.
Have fun on your extended bye week!!!….seriously Boston is pathetic, can’t admit you got beat. You guys have been delusional all season, and still are. There is nothing in the world like seeing Boston in pain. If I were Boston I’d re-watch hardknocks to pass by some time until next season
the pats got beat, badly
outplayed and outcoached, all the shit the jets talked all week clearly affected the pats
since rex became jets coach pats are 2-3 against them and adavnced farther both years
28-21
It was both. The Jets were fired up, played a great game and got the plays they needed. The Pats looked lost, bewildered and confused (like me on a good day!).
Might be time to start grooming a new QB. Giselle is the real curse.
Giselle = Yoko.
WE BEAT OURSELVES.
not that complicated
Whatever it is it pisses me off
You have to give credit to the Jet’s secondary and Sanchez for not making any mistakes, but when you lose by seven points with all the stupid mistakes the Pats made it’s hard not to say they choked. They had plenty of opportunities to win, but everyone chance they had to make a play they failed to execute, whether it be the dropped passes, interception, failed fake punt, or he failed onside kicks which they had a shot at.
And cheatingpatriots, get a fucking life. When the pats win it’s because they cheat, but when they lose it’s because they don’t cheat anymore. Shut the fuck up and try and come up with an actual comment.
cheatingpatriots get some new material, your “the pats havn’t won since they cheated” broken record banter bores me
pats played like fuckin trash. brady looked completely spaced out the entire game. the TD when edwards dragged our 2 pro-bowl db’s into the end zone was fucking embarrassing. all dynasty talk is long over, its time to start rebuilding.
Mittens, try to come up with a non-homosexual user name. Mittens, really?
Rebuilding? But the Pats were rebuilding on the fly?! Young defense which would only get better! Now they have to rebuild?
Wait, what?
Bart Scott screaming in Sal P’s grill like he did something last night.
2 tackles homie. Non factor
Regardless, we got OWNED.
who gives a fuck we lost. Pats played like shit. the jets had a simple gameplan and stuck to it. D couldn’t stop them on 3rd down. Poor clock management in the 4th quarter down two scores with 5 minutes left and they’re taking their sweet ass time getting the plays in. Lastly why the fuck is Darius Butler out there in a playoff game? he should be nowhere near the field of play unless the month begins with an A and ends in a T
“When the pats win it’s because they cheat, but when they lose it’s because they don’t cheat anymore.” Could not have said it better myself.
@fishy_fingers….rebuilding as in figuring out what they need to do to go back to playing their best football in the postseason rather than flatlining, not rebuilding as in new personnel, dick.
another horrible/hilarious blog, keep em coming because this shit is making the victory better and better. thanks!
You can not complain about the mistakes the Pats made when Jets had mistakes too. A missed field goal by Nick Folk and an interception that should have been a pick six and ultimately resulted in no points. As for the fake punt, ball dropped or not he was not making that first down, even a very bias announcer Jim Nantz said so. If you want to call it a choke, Pats choked because they could not handle the pressure the Jets brought. After the interception Brady was rattled and more worried about not throwing another one, then winning the game. There were plays where he had all day in the pocket and still could not find an open receiver.
As for the cheating comments, those are really not necessary. Patriots are not liked because they win, yea but so is any other winning franchise in sports history, ie: Yankees. Comments like that just make you look moronic and just validate any negative thoughts and ideas said about the fans.
On a side note I think trash talking is part of the game, the only problem I really have with it is how much the media over hypes and kills it. Having a mental edge is part of the battle and if trash talking is what gets you fired up then so be it. Jets played with something to prove and Pats came out thinking they were the better team and would walk on the Jets. In my opinion the loss was almost inevitable.
jets should of recovered 2 fumbles in pats territory.. when they hit the shit our of brady (like they did all day) and woodhead.. pats got mad lucky.. this game could of easily ben 42-28. I dont think there is one aspect of the game where the pats played better than the jets to be honest, just a typical whiney jew cant handle his defeats.
Yeah, noone thought we would win this year at the beginning but once we beat Indy and Steelers it became a Super Bowl or bust team. I think we chocked and the Jets won by not fucking up. This year had Super Bowl all over it and hopefully with a good draft and offseason they will be the team to beat without any questions.
YOU GOT BEAT. typical masshole attitude.

fluke?
5 reasons to be optimistic. I can add a 6th – I switched to Geico last month. I shit you not.

Jets lose the AFCC game like last year. No biggie.

How can any of you miserable fucks complain about how “classless” the Jets acted after the game? Dont you fucking morons remeber the specticle that you put on when you beat san diego a few years ago? remember how pussy they sounded when they bitched about it? Exactly. Cut the bullshit. This wasnt a choke it was a beating. All the mistakes were the direct result of the Jets playing at a level the Patriots did not anticipate. Out gameplanned and out played. Flat out.
How does convincing yourselves that you “choked” instead of getting beat make you feel any better? Did you make humiliating mistakes? Um, sure. You also got sacked 5 times (oh excuse me, I mean your offensive line let up 5 chokes.)
Keep this shit coming, it makes the win feel even better.
Is it a rivalry yet?
with your love of adam lambert, starfish shorts and white rappers you should be use to choking. Unless you have no gag reflex
just take off the ny site…who gives a shit
please, this blog is just a reason to get all the pats fans together to make excuses as to why they lost…good try pres
Jets>Patriots
o ya n wtf was that shit brady was huffin b4 the game? any1 else see that?
o ya n all this “pats dont win without cheating” bs…u dnt think every other team in the nfl was doin it? n speaking of cheating, iv never seen the pats have a coach trip opposing players during plays. sounds like cheating to me.
Yes I am going to call you a sore loser because you can’t accept that Billy Sweatshirt got outcoached and Tom Terrific got outplayed and was off balance all day because of Sexy Rexy‘s game plan. The fake punt was a slam dunk without the fumbled snap? Really? You can see alternate futures now you Jew fuck? Less than a month before pitchers and catchers and that’s LITERALLY all you have to look forward to now because the Bruins fucking suck and the Celtics are too old to make another run.
oh and to the douchebag Boston fan above, how about that video from Week 2 of the Pat’s player trying to trip a Jet’s gunner on a punt? Did you miss that entire story yesterday that was all over the internet and mentioned on CBS? I guess that just because the guy sucks at cheating no one remembers that he still tried
for years Manning has done just what Brady did yesterday and WE all say he choked….. thats why he’s Peyton and Brady is Brady….. well I’d say it’s a choke!
after they stepped on their own dicks on those first 2 drives, they seemed to turtle.
Truth is the Pats are no where near the level of a real 14-2 team. The ‘won’ 4-5 games they should have lost but luck gave them the game(s). Packers play 16 games and the best QB is football misses one…Pats get it…tight games fall to Pats…they really should have been 10-6 at best and then hopes would have been more in-line with what they had on the field.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You pats fans are so fair-weathered. Try being a Redskins fan or an Eagles fan…or a Browns fan, Jesus. Teams lose sometimes, deal with it, none of you liked the team until 2001 anyway.
Maybe you guys should get shirts that say “Regular Season Champs”
