Pats ship is sinking

On Sunday we saw the Patriots get off to a fast start. But just before halftime Matt Cassel went 0-3 in pass attempts to Randy Moss in the endzone. Then Gostkowski missed a field goal which is very unusual for the sure footed kicker. That would only be foreshadowing for the second half. The Steelers came out with a physical defense and productive ground game, mixing in intermediate passes along the way. Wes Welker got his head taken off and Pierre Woods broke his jaw making a tackle. Though dropped passes, fumbles and interceptions the patriots ended up getting killed on Sunday. Their playoff hopes maybe along with it. With for games left to go it doesn't look good for New England. 3 games against the NFC and 1 against Buffalo. All must win games. But all 5 of the losses they have suffered this season are against AFC opponents and that will lose them a tie breaker. The 4 teams New England are in the Wild card hunt with are Indianapolis 8-4 with 2 AFC losses and a head to head win over the Pats, Miami 7-5 with 4 AFC losses, Baltimore 8-4 with 3 AFC losses and Buffalo 6-6 with 4 AFC losses and one game to play against the Patriots. The Jets who lead the AFC East at 8-4 have 4 AFC losses and Two games to play against Miami and Buffalo. They other two Seattle and San Francisco. The wild card doesn't look good and I think the jets will win the division. Maybe next year pats! Hope you can draft a GOOD runningback this year and some defensivebacks that might stay healthy. Then Maybe we can have a shot at greatness next year. In the meantime, Go Celts, Bruins and Sox!
