As I read more and more about how New England fans are bitching and moaning about how they went 11-5 and didn't make the play-offs the more and more the hatred comes over me. I rooted for Cassel this year and I actually rooted for the Brady-less Pats, even though when number 12 went down many of the "loyal" fans were quick to make remarks saying "what am I going to do on Sundays" or "Now we have to wait until next year." But if you look at it the Patriots don't belong in the playoffs this year. They lost to 4 of 5 AFC playoff teams (Steelers, Colts, Chargers, Dolphins), and their 11 wins were primarily against the terrible teams of the NFL (Bills twice, Cardinals, 49ers, Raiders, Seahawks, Rams, Jets, Dolphins, Chiefs, Broncos). Only two playoff teams in the bunch of the wins (and the Dolphins and Cardinals are both terrible and are most likely one and done).
If anyone believes this Patriots team could hang with any of the play-off teams this year they a sorely mistaken. If anything Patriots fans should be happy they got as far as they did and stop acting like spoiled bitches. At least you got Cassel to be your QB for next year.
