A Class?
In order for an article to be an A class, it must first pass WP:GA. This article is far from Good Article status because it doesn't have any citations and there is a distinctive POV from a Patriots fan. Statements like "Unfortunately, that touchdown would be the only good highlight, as the Patriots fell at home to Denver." are point-of-view and should be cleaned up.++ aviper2k7 ++ 03:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Fansite tag
Hi, I added the fansite tag as the page resembles the memoirs of a NE fan (eg: Fortunately, that would be the last scoring strike that Buffalo would be able to muster, as the Patriots would win with a 17-yard pass ...) Please note that the article has to be written in a neutral tone and a good example would be 1990 New York Giants season. Also, did someone notice that the ToC is 61 lines long!

GA comment
Inline citations go directly after the punctuation with no space in between. Be sure to fix these before somebody reviews the article. --Nehrams2020 23:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

GA review comments

 * Lead section is too short. the lead section needs to stand on its own but currently it does not. the lead needs to talk about the season performance, any milestones achieved, individual achievement that set standard in NFL etc.
 * Can be done, but not perhaps to the extent you have outlined. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Length of Table is not acceptable. Why is the need for "External link" for each game to be a seperate section. Also, the "section" has only one link. Please add more or consolidate this at the end of the article
 * ✅. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Either remove wikilink or add atleast stub page for all redlinked players and coaches
 * ✅. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Please remove results in the schedule table. you are preempting the result summary
 * Please see 1990 New York Giants season. I do not agree with this comment. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * "Division standings" and "Patriots versus opponents" need to be moved to the end of regular season, not preceding it
 * Before or after the postseason results?


 * The summary for each of the game needs to be improved. I shall take one game as example to illustrate the point:
 * "which would end up as a five-yard touchdown" - did spikes pick up the ball or was it someone else?
 * "to put the Bills ahead to an early lead." - reword to "for an early lead"
 * "New England would tie the game with a nine-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Troy Brown," - for a non-NFL person, it implies that "new england" threw the ball. re-word the phrase
 * "by opposing kicker" - why the term "opposing"? use either visiting or none. using opposing implies that the article is written from a NE perspective and not a neutral perspective
 * "the Patriots would win with after a 17-yard " - remove the word "with"
 * "Despite their first half struggles, the Patriots would win with after a 17-yard pass to running back Kevin Faulk, a 32-yard field goal by rookie kicker Stephen Gostkowski, and a safety by defensive end Ty Warren on quarterback J.P. Losman to secure a 19-17 Patriots victory." - can you add more english than just close the Pats' comeback in one sentence
 * "This win" - better to re-word it as "The win"
 * Will be done. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Turf - there are plenty of articles and debate on NE changing turf. I see no data on the same
 * Please point me to some. I also don't view this as being a major part of the article, just more of a side note. Much more on it can be said at Gillette Stadium, but not this article. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Another example on the POV issue: GB game - Both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers were injured in the game. There is no mention of the same.
 * I'd say it's more of a POV issue with its inclusion, as that could be made into an excuse from a Green Bay POV. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The article lacks perspective from non-NE fan view, lacks depth in coverage of games and the data presented doesn't adhere to the timelines criteria (results reported before the discussion on the game). Please re-work and then nominate it back for GA consideration. --Kalyan 10:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I notice you reviewed 1990 New York Giants season and made no mention of these issues. Pats1 18:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I somewhat agree that the standings should be moved below, but removing the scores from the schedule makes no sense to me. The only other place they're listed is in the game summary, where it's simply a linescore for the game. This is a more detailed score, not the score itself. Please see 1990 New York Giants season, which is a good article and has the exact same score format as this article. I'll implement some of these suggestions, but there are some which I disagree with, which will be noted in the renomination. Pats1 22:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

NFL.com recaps are all broken links
These links need to be removed from the season game-by-game standings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.150.79 (talk) 09:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
