Anyone hate New England like I do?

[busterbrown]

Man the Chargers look like a High School Football Team!

I hate the Patriots... Giant Fan I am... Not much to be happy about with Giants as well!

Living in L.A.... Learning to like the Rams..
Been out her for 30 yrs...from Ny obviously!

[Soxfan58]

1. Not me

[exboyfil]

2. Mercy rule at the half?

The Patriots do this every year. I think they will carve up KC next week as well. Maybe the KC offense can keep up.

[busterbrown]

4. They'll be motivated by this game..For sure!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Did you watch yesterday's Chiefs Colts game?

The Colts did not get a single first down in the entire first half. The Chiefs scored on their first four possessions. Plus, they've broken the playoff curse. This is a brand new team, complete with essentially a rookie quarterback who set (and broke) a whole lot of records all season.

[exboyfil]

12. Hope so

The Colts are a young team. I am sure the Patriots have a few things in their back pocket.

[demtenjeep]

44. Hell yea

Chiefs are BAD ASS

WITHOUT cheating

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

46. Excellent point

All during the regular season the offensive line in front of Mahomes didn't do a very good job of protecting him, and still they won all those games, got a first round bye and so on and so forth. They were vastly better last week.

And while the Patriots are a pretty good team, Arrowhead is considered to be the loudest stadium in the entire NFL, and anyone who thinks tomorrow's cold will slow down or mute the fans, doesn't understand the fans.

They waited 30 years to win a second World Series. 50 years for another Super Bowl seems about right.

And no matter the outcome of tomorrow's game, Patrick Mahomes has only started his career and has already put up numbers that many Hall of Fame quarterbacks would envy.

[demtenjeep]

47. I have been praying, we are wearing our lucky clothes-even the dog

We haven't been this close since 1969

also, I made all the same foods as last week.

[rickford66]

3. Dallas also

[busterbrown]

5. I just loved yesterday's game!

My real hate is for Jerry Jones.. What a Scumbag!

[MANative]

6. Nope. Loving every minute!

😁

[calguy]

7. Can't deny the Patriots' greatness

But I still hate them and always will.

[busterbrown]

9. Yep!

I just hate Brady..... Handsome as hell.. Best Q B maybe ever, Beautiful wife,
plus he could probably clear out a bar in a fight...(Tough Guy)

[ExciteBike66]

30. "plus he could probably clear out a bar in a fight"

He has to be able to fight, since he cannot outrun anyone!

[dem4decades]

8. Patriots fan but it kills me that Bellichek and Brady are right wing

Assholes

[busterbrown]

11. Not so sure about Brady Being Right Wing

Just Found This!

19. Brady isn't rightwing. He do support friend or people that suck up to him like Trump.

His wife has publicly stated her dislike for Trump.

[sir pball]

22. "Robert Kraft flies Parkland shooting victims' families to Washington on Patriots plane"

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/robert-kraft-flies-parkland-shooting-victims-families-to-washington-on-patriots-plane/

He also left letters onboard -

"On behalf of the New England Patriots organization, I want to express our support as you travel to Washington for this weekend's March for Our Lives," the letter reads. "In the wake of incredible tragedy, we have hurt for you, mourned with you and been inspired by you. It is an honor for us to now partner with you as you push for progress. Your community is stirring our country towards a better future. That is the true mark of a patriot. Thank you for your leadership and inspiration. Best wishes as you prepare to takeoff on your journey."

[dem4decades]

23. Then I stand corrected. Happily.

[JonLP24]

40. Tom Brady had a MAGA hat in his locker room

And went on to praise Trump's "accomplishments".

Robert Kraft is a longtime friend of Trump he said he was the only one to give him a call for a year after his wife died to check how he's doing.

--

“The problem we have is, we have a president who will use that as fodder to do his mission that I don’t feel is in the best interests of America,” said Kraft, who is a longtime supporter of Mr. Trump’s. “It’s divisive and it’s horrible.”

[busterbrown]

45. Yea I appreciate what you stated.

I'm not so sure that Brady is right wing.. I think he's starting to get it!

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Life long Pats fan here.

[busterbrown]

14. Thank God the Giants took away 2 Superbowls from them..

If they win the SuperBowl this year... Best team Ever... No Doubt!

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. I thought both losses were due to bad game plans by Pats

Coaching.

[busterbrown]

16. What? You won't at least give me that?

Ha! By the way... Bad Game Plans are always a huge part of losses...

By the way... Tony Romo is the worst Color guy ever... and I kind of like him..Always seemed like a good guy!

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. I think he is the best color guy!

Great insight, interesting. Worst...Fouts! And the ESPN guy...Witten. zzzzz

[Blue_true]

20. Yep. A loss normally starts with a bad plan. nt

[Soxfan58]

24. I'm not crazy about Romo

But he is much better than Simms.

[gainesvillenole]

18. Cheaters....

The New England Patriots are proven and admitted cheaters on multiple occasions..... Enough said.

[mitch96]

21. Not a football fan, watch on occasion, don't understand the hate for the Pats..

Seems they look like they know what they are doing.. Do they cheat or something?? Just buy the best players? Kickbacks?
m

[Blue_true]

36. I don't understand the hate for the team.

The Coach, maybe, but he is a complex dude, an anti hunger campaigner, build playing fields for poor kids, supports Trump, complete dichotomy.

The owner is a big charity giving guy, best buds with Trump and John Bon Jovi (who despises Trump).

But how the team prepare: they just out think and out work everyone else, with about six cases over 18 years where they lost big games, and two of those losses, to the Giants in the Super Bowl, were a razor edge from being wins.

BTW, I want to comment on the football inflation controversy. Anyone that know anything about gas chemistry know that gas contracts in cold weather, footballs and other balls in the elements become softer, which is what happened with all of the footballs that were exposed in the Patriots-Colts AFC Championship game. The NFL ran a measurement program the season after, but destroyed the data without reporting it, I am pretty sure I know what was found out, and that would have embarrassed the NFL after it spent millions to fine Brady.

[Maxheader]

25. No hate feelings for any sport team...too insignificant today..

But I heartly dislike the patriots for all the cheating..stealing communications from the other teams...air pressure...beligcheck running out onto the field before the game is over..the one he lost and ended his
perfect season....I'm not a big saints fan either...something about a team that puts bounty's on other teams players.

[zipplewrath]

26. Everyone

Pretty much every football fan who isn't a Patriots fan. It's mostly just a matter of degree.
The cheating makes it easier to hate 'em.

My two favorite NFL teams? The Lions.
And whomever is playing the Pats.

(Yeah, old joke).

[Moostache]

27. My hate is reserved for Stan Kroenke...and Donald Trump...can't allow any more hate into my life.

I will celebrate with champagne on the day each of them die and given the chance, I would gladly urinate on their graves as well...

As for the Patriots, the thing that bothers me about their success is the sheer volume of help the opposing teams and coaches have provided to them...to wit:

2002 - Rams - played into Belicheck's hand by Mike Martz refusing to run the ball (with Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk and Hall of Famer Orlando Pace available...), instead forcing throws against 7 and 8 DB looks for nearly the entire game (side note - this was also still the era where the referees allowed the Pats to cheat on defense and mug receivers by swallowing the whistle and sticking their flags in their asses - same thing they did to Manning and the Colts several times)...Pats win on last second FG, also greatly abetting Brady's drive to FG range by playing soft, "prevent" coverages...

2004 - Panthers - tied the game at 29...promptly kicked the ball OB and gave the Pats the ball at the 40 yard line with timeouts and perfect conditions...result? 2nd time Vinateri wins game on last second kick.

2005 - Eagles - McNabb started hyperventilating and vomiting on the field during the last chance drive that sealed another 3 point win for the Pats...this one was the LEAST amount of help given to them during their run of titles...

2015 - Seahawks - Carroll's decision to NOT hand the ball to Lynch on the 1 yard line, instead throwing a pass that was picked off, was reminiscent of his decision to NOT have Reggie Bush on the field in the USC-Texas Rose Bowl game years earlier...just DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS coaching GAVE THAT AWAY!

2017 - Falcons - 28-3 lead? AND THEY LOST???? All they had to do was RUN THE BALL and NOT TAKE SACKS...instead? Ryan takes late sack (HAS to know better than that, HAS to!!!), loses FG position with 8 point lead that would have iced the game and instead allowed the comeback to be completed. A hideous choke job that NONE of those players - Ryan, Jones, et al. - will EVER recover from...

The SB losses to the Giants and the Eagles just so happened to be the 3 times their opponent did NOT choke or help them win the game in mind numbing manners. Greatest ever? Bah! The Steelers of the 70's, Niners of the 80's or Cowboys of the 90's would dominate them.

[Wellstone ruled]

28. Face it,Bellicheat has a

Coaching system in place that works better than others. His players must practice or they will not play. Plain old school Coaching.

Practice practice practice tell you get it right .

[LisaM]

29. I was listening to a show about the Patriots at the beginning of the season - tight ship.

Last edited Mon Jan 14, 2019, 03:36 PM - Edit history (1)

Whomever I was listening to on the radio, an ex-player, I think, said that when they show up to camp, the first rule is: know all the rules. Then they go over all the rule changes and learn them.

Just an example of why they win - attention to detail (remember when Donovan McNabb did not know that a pro game could end in a tie, for example, so his game ended up in a tie?)

[Wellstone ruled]

31. Your post is right on.

Going up in Wisconsin,we knew Bellichek's style of Coaching as the Ade Olson Coaching School that was taught at the University of Wisconsin and latter at one of the State Universities.

Practice practice btw,in full pads.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Yes...hate the cheating repuke Patriots. Go Giants!

Glad Rams beat Cowboys too.

[busterbrown]

33. I dislike the Patriots because of Belichick !

and the fact that they are so good!

Dallas... Another Story... Jerry Jones and the Fact that its Texas... Makes me hate this team..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Mine goes back to growing up in CT and having

The Giants, with a lead, leave the Cowboys 2 minutes, and us screaming "Nooooooo" and always getting beat.

Haha...yes Patriots win too much.

Are you Yankees or Mets?

[louis-t]

34. Sick of the Pats, sick of Tom Brady.

Pats are not "America's Team". Every team is America's team. Unfortunately, I think they will make it to Super Bowl. KC looks really beat up. They beat the Colts handily but Colts were pretty beat up, too. I'd much rather see KC in the Super Bowl.

[mitch96]

37. "Pats are not "America's Team"."

What makes an American team? just curious...

m

[louis-t]

38. Not "American team". I said "America's Team".

It's how they are billed. And I said all teams are America's teams. I deal with this crap all day long. Someone twists what I say and then questions it, or mis-states what I said and then starts an argument. I send questions to people and they answer a different question. I ask 2 questions, they answer only one. Try to keep up. Jeez.

[mitch96]

39. Point taken...

Feel better now? That silly apostrophy always gets me...

[beachbum bob]

41. I have been a long time NE hater for decades, nothing pleases more than watch them lose

I hoping for a KC vs LA Ram Superbowl as a rematch of this years' "greatest game played"

[Wawannabe]

42. Stupid patsies!

Lol.
KC Chiefs.
All. The. Way.

[demtenjeep]

43. Mahomes has this

I hope the Chiefs dominate ALL day long tomorrow

[demtenjeep]

48. I have nervous optimism

I so hope we win. 1969 is a LONG time ago
