BREAKING: Reports confirm Patriots lost to Jets on purpose to avoid playing Steelers in NFL playoffs

It certainly wouldn't surprise me. Hell, people actually defended the move to kick after winning the coin flip (which is patently ridiculous).

I was hearing that Belichik should throw the game all week before the game, so its possible

The Pats are still playing for homefield advantage in the playoffs. The Steelers controlled their own destiny but lost in Baltimore. Not a believer in this conspiracy theory

Ridiculous..... The Patriots would destroy Pittsburgh. The teams they would struggle with would be the teams with a good pass defense.

Pittsburgh's secondary is their weakness. but their offense would still put up 30 points on us right now, 21 points if we weren't banged up.

they are going to be a playoff team next year, with a lot of confidence, but they need a QB who can back up big ben adequately.
