the pats have earned it.untill people like the bills and other teams find ways to beat them the love fest will continue.hey they have won 2 superbowls,and still have a solid football team ,not to mention that they do have a first rate coaching staff.i am not a patriots fan ,but i do respect them,plus they do seem to get a few key calls here and there.every major sport the "good teams" or "superstars " always get the benefit of the doubt.i don't think michael jordon ever fouled out of a game,and greg maddux always got the questionable call over the opposing pitcher who was only a .500 pitcher.so untill the pats get knocked off it is just the way that it is.hopefuly this week we knock them off and maybe get a little confidence,and go on our own little win streak! go bills
