The Patriots Lose in Freak Fashion

69 yard pass with 7 seconds left. Laterals. Gronk missing a tackle at the end zone. It has it all.

Start watching at 10:15.

HAPPY DANCE TIME

Yes, that was awesome.

It's the Music City Miracle, Miami style.

Apparently Gronk subbed in for McCourty. Even Belechick does things that just make you go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, although people have tried to convince me in the past that he's essentially infallible.

Couldn't happen to a better team. :179417:

Honestly, the Patriots always seem to manage to lose one stupid game to an inferior divisional opponent every season. Usually Miami, sometimes the Jets, and once in a blue moon, Buffalo.

I guess he was worried that 1-legged Tannehill was going to somehow bomb a 75 yarder into the end zone.

They're now 9-4 and the Chiefs have a two game lead on them. The chance that we see them in the Super Bowl is much lower if they have to go win a playoff game on the road. They've played in only two playoff road games since 2013 and lost them both (to the Broncos).

Supposedly Gronk is part of the standard package, and Gronk said they only practice hail mary plays, not this craziness.

253hawk · Dec 9, 2018

And hail marys usually get into the end zone. That's about 75 yards from where Tannehill was. Even Rodgers' heave against the Lions was only 67 in the air. Bonehead move by Billy.

mrblitz · Dec 9, 2018

that was an all-time highlight reel play. the only thing missing were the band.

I for one welcome more Rugby in my football.

HawkGA · Dec 9, 2018

Gronk definitely boned it on that one.

hawknation2018 · Dec 9, 2018

I’m loving watching the Patriots this season. Three blowout losses. Now this miraculous decision by Belichick to use an injured Gronk to defend the Hail Mary. So perfect. Coach of the Year he ain’t.

If they played in any other division, the Patriots would have a losing record. I think we could see a 4th blowout loss for them at Pittsburgh.

Their division most years is like this year's NFC West less the Rams. They have the division title given to them every year and just have to concentrate on beating the out of division foes to secure a bye. They do struggle @ Miami. They're something like 7-10 there with Brady.

Pretty much this.

I would be far more critical if they didn't consistently deliver in the playoffs, but it is true
they have the easiest road nearly every season.

The Seahawks almost had the same setup, but then the Rams went and hired McVay.

Coach of the Year! LOL.

Their consistency is only really there when they get the one seed and don't have to go on the road. And they laid that turd at home against Baltimore in 2012 when they had the two seed.

They're the best ever. But that doesn't mean they consistently win. Having the other teams in the division be abysmal seemingly year to year does help, though.

This gaff I would say takes BB out of the running. Carroll just has to clear the Nagy hurdle and the award is his.

They have played in 10 straight AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES or something like that. If they were frauds they would have been exposed years ago. They would have been upset in the divisional round far more often.
