The New England Patriots thanked fans Wednesday for an unbelievable season despite not winning it all and said they were looking forward to the 2018 season.
“The Patriots season didn’t end the way Patriots Nation was hoping. It was a heartbreaking loss, but Patriots players should still be proud of the hard work, effort and determination that went into the 2017 season,” a message on the Patriots.com website read, along with messages shared on social media from players thanking fans for all their support. “Thank you, Patriots Nation, for supporting the team all year-long. We’re onto 2018.”
“Not the outcome we wanted, but proud to play for you, #PatriotsNation. Thanks for your support all season long,” a caption next to a photo posted by on the Patriots Instagram read.
“I’m Thankful that I was apart of something special, 2017 was still one Hell of A Year! I’m honored that Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick traded for me and allowed me to earn an opportunity to compete and be apart of the Patriot Family and I am Forever Grateful,” Patriots linebacker Marquis Flower wrote.
“Still blessed and highly favored! We didn’t play good enough to win, congrats Eagles,” Patriots linebacker James Harrison wrote.
That hurt but what a blessing this year has been and so thankful for everyone who has supported me #patsnation#thankful
