Watch the ESPN top 10. They had, and I counted, 7 catches that were better than Kenbrell's in our game (his was ranked 1st, of course). It was a much much better throw than catch, IMO. Why does the media dick ride the Pats so much?

Also, I haven't been on here since Sunday morning so I have no clue if any of these questions were posted already, but why didn't we attempt the jam the receivers at the line on the last play? Why weren't we set up to defend the sidelines and long balls? I feel like Greer had decent coverage on the play, but giving Thompkins an uncontested fly route to win the game seems foolish to me. Tom Brady will make that throw 11 times out of 10.

It was the game winning td reception. Seems pretty deserving to me.

It was a clutch throw to win the game with seconds remaining; y'all need to get over the butthurt and accept that we lost.

Or you could look at a map



A = New York City
B = Bristol, CT (ESPN Headquarters)
C = Foxboro, MA

There of course is a large market bias, but there is also a right next door bias. The same reason CNN has more stories from Atlanta than it would if it's headquarters were somewhere else.

Miracle last second TDs to win the game will be the #1 10 times out of 10 no matter how easy or who threw them

It was a big time catch, at a big time moment, by an undrafted rookie, to win an NFL game. #1 play seems fair to me!

With their current QB and Coach, the Pats have been to 5 Super Bowls...they deserve more love than most!

Expected the media hype for whoever won that game , but lets look at it this way. we get Ne after a loss and it was in Foxboro where the Patriots hardly ever lose. We played a great game until the 2 minute warning. We get the offsides call in the 2nd qtr and Drews time out or a delay of game and this is a W.

OP, you can't let this fact get to you. As others have explained, it is because the NorthEast Corridor has such a high population density. The national sports media will cover the larger markets.

It is annoying, of course.

Winning solves it all.

It's only one loss in a 16 game season.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it. Vince Lombardi
