How will Patriots handle loss?

They will cry like little pups who are accustomed to getting the most glorious breast milk in the world and wake up one day and poof there is no more sweet big titty in their face to suck on.

What is the over/under on this being someone's sig?

How will they handle it? Well, they should come to the conclusion that "cheaters never win", however, they will likely point the finger at refs or something. They are arrogant, and they showed it with that 4th and 13 play when they should have gone for the 48 yard field goal attempt. That play could have cost them the game.

I love that did not go for a field goal when they should have, I wonder if anyone asked him why and he responded. "What are we supposed to do? Go for a field goal?" just like he said when he went for it against the Skins. So happy these arrogant pricks lost by three when it would have been a tie.

Never thought of it that way ... The football gods have spoken! Can't wait for Gregg Easterbrook's column this week.

The Pats have quite a few aging vets on the defensive side. There could be some significant changes on that side of the ball.

That said I'm sure they will be a SB contender again next year and will probably win at least 12-13 games.

I predict Ted Kennedy will send every member of the Patriots a case of scotch.

the patriots are a laughingstock now. not even close to a dynasty.

The term laughingstock gets thrown around way too much here.

Of course not, they haven't won for three years.

I never really considered them a dynasty. They won 3 SBs each by just a single FG, hardly dominant. Who'd they beat? The Eagles, Panthers and Rams...wow...really impressive. A team who is a dynasty doesn't rely on last-second FGs to win.

Pile on top of all of this the fact they've been found to have cheated, even on at least one SB...

Not a dynasty. Not even close.

Hopefully this is the beginning of their death spiral. I'm waiting for the entire organization to unravel in a horrific fashion.

They can always watch this gem all of-season. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dna3dUTe6rs)
