The Titans led throughout, and the Patriots surrendered midway through the fourth quarter when Belichick sent backup quarterback Brian Hoyer in to replace Tom Brady with six minutes left.

Tennessee attacked New England's "best" cornerback, Stephon Gilmore, mercilessly, starting with a 24-yard reception by Corey Davis on the first play of the game. Davis finished with seven catches for 125 yards and a touchdown.

Dion Lewis calls the Patriots cheap - as in not wanting to pay players.

 

"Hell yeah it's personal," Lewis said. "That's what happens when you go cheap. You get your ass kicked."

 

that's why they have been losing all these years.

The last paragraph in the article finished with this exact sentiment.  They Pats can get players to take paycuts since they're perennial favorites to go to the SB.

The Bills experienced that during the SB runs - guys would become FA and sign with the Bills to make a run at the SB.

 

It is not unusual for the best teams to get the better players cheaper, but the Brady piece is the killer - to have a top flight QB consistently take 10 - 15 million below his peers makes a huge differences that others cannot compete with.

Everyone needs to start running the philly special against them. It looks like it gets in their heads. 

 

Or just have the QB shout it at the line now and then, like Brady used to shout "Rex Ryan" when they played us.

 

"Blue-eighteen. Philly Special. Hut!"

Only problem is no one can beat them in Shitlette Stadium....

 

 

Yeah that is true BUT at least as far as the playoffs,  the Chiefs have a two game lead on them, the Chargers a half game lead so New England likely going on the road in the playoffs and will lose.

 

I am a die hard committed Charger-Chief fan the rest of this season

Patriots are 7-3, Chargers are 7-2, Chargers have a "half game" lead as far as I am concerned.

 

And I hate the Steelers and Rotherelburger so I will never be a fan of theirs.

Division winner cannot be lower than 4th seed regardless of record....

what does that have to do with anything, i dont care if it is san diego or kc that wins the division

The point is that it doesn't matter if LA Chargers have a better record than NE they will be a lower seed and go on the road unless they win that division

 

If LA is 13-3 but KC is 14-2 then LA will be the 5th seed at best and could travel to a 9-7 division winner in the wildcard round

I know it is brought up every year, but Brady looks like an old man. I know he wants to play until he's 45 but I just do not see it.

 

He is hitting the walllus he is getting hit a lot and his WR cannot get open and Gronk is not going to be Gronk this season
