Just keeps adding to his legacy. JJ Watt was despondent. Feel bad for the guy since he's such a great player and model citizen.
Personally, I despise the organization. Too many questions on the shenanigans in the past (the NFL swept years of tapes recorded by the Pats...and some others to be fair..under the table to protect the league...plus the *other* stuff.) Bill Belichick wasn't brilliant until Tom Brady showed up (although he has worked relentlessly and very effectively to build quality teams around him since.)
That being said (and personal bias aside), Brady is the best quarterback in NFL history. No question.
Yeah, it was tough to watch JJ at the end of that game. He was gassed, but was still trying to get some pressure. Just wasn't enough. One of the top 3 most difficult places to play on the road, and they did well.

As a longtime Pats fan, I am not going to try and change your mind. Despising another team is part of the fun of sports. I remember watching those Sox-Yanks duels years ago where New York always pulled it out in the end, and nothing could make me like the Yankees.
I would add, however, that the charge of the Pats taping practices is just not true. The writer of the article claiming this, Jon Tomase, retracted it and the paper apologized (see attached photo). I’d also submit that Belichick was a helluva defensive coordinator for the Giants. The book Education of a Coach is a great read on him, though I wouldn’t blame you for not reading it. It’s not like I’m going to read a Jeter book anytime soon.
