Iron Maiden

Stop...just stop.....Cassell went 11-5 with one of the best roster ever assembled....Brady took that team to 16-0 the year before.....Are you saying Cassell is as good as Brady ?...Brady is also one of the most accurate QB ever...He's still throwing ropes at 41.....that's impressive....I get the Brady hate, but he's the GOAT....nothing we say here will change that....

The NFL admitted in front of the judge they didn't have any proof the balls were deflated on purpose....and the Colts balls that game were also deflated...most likely because of the weather...The NFL also never published their study's results during following season where they were testing all year long to see if footballs were affected by weather....why do a study only to keep the findings secret ?... Deflategate was a battle between the players union and Roger Goodell's power...and it took a 2nd bunch of judges to finally agree with him....NE is always at the top of the league when it comes to turnover differential.....coaching and discipline has a lot to do with IMO....

Best thread EVER!!!

Yes, they cheated....but it's not the reason they've been dominating the NFL for 20 years....Cameras at illegal spots( 12-13 years ago ) and deflated balls ( still think that one is stupid ) is what some cling onto only because they kick our teams ass so often...and somehow, cannot give any credit to NE....let's face it, they are the greatest dynasty in football, and we'll never see something like that again...Brady is the GOAT and so is BB...that's why they are dominating...it's actually pretty simple.... They out prepare teams who are often more talented....they are disciplined and rarely make mistakes....and when you do, they pounce on you and make you pay....I can't wait for it to end...but they are that good.....

I have that kind of hatred for the Fish....It's still there from the 70's.....I get that for the younger generations, it's NE.....I think Brady is the GOAT...so is BB.....but I am soooo tired of them.....no matter what happens in the future, if a team goes on a 4-6 year run.....wins 2 SBs and a few division titles.....you will always have the caveat .." They're great...but there not NE".....

Of course I'll watch the SB...it's football and it's the last game of the year.....All of NE's SB have been really good games ( except when the were crushed by the 85 Bears )...Go Rams !!

I'm starting to believe NE is sandbagging the regular season just so it hurts more when they win....can you get bored of winning ?....

KC wins 28-23 and New Orleans beats LA 35-30.....then Brees gets his 2nd ring....

There's only 3 games left this season......I would watch the Raiders vs the Jets , then the 49ers vs Arizona if those were the match ups.....If you love football, tomorrow is a great day..... If we're totally honest, most of NE's SBs have been really good games.....I hate SB blowouts....

We would have statues of Brady and Belichick if they were Bills and had won 5 SBs and been to 13 Championship games....we hate them because they absolutely own our team....the cheating stuff is way overblown IMO...they just out prepare teams and win with often less pure talent than the other teams....they don't make stupid mistakes, are disciplined and always make you pay if you mess up....also, no matter how much of a prick he is, McDaniels is a brilliant offensive mind....add Ernie Adams to that staff and you get a 18 year dynasty....

No injuries.....He's the GOAT.....So is Belichick.....but I want them to lose.....and I think they do vs KC....they are the greatest dynasty in probably any sport but enough is enough...18 years of domination is bad for the sport.....it has to stop..

When you think about it...despite what everyone calls a down season for him and NE ( me included ).....they were 1 miracle play away vs Miami to be the # 1 seed.....again.....and that game would be in Foxboro this weekend....I guess " decline " is all relative.....

He had a couple of 15-20 yarders spot on and on a rope yesterday.....I expect NE to lose in KC but IMO, no one is getting crushed.....Belichick, McDaniels and Brady are too savvy for that to happen in the playoffs.....I remember only 1 game in 18 years where they got crushed in the playoffs......vs Baltimore....what a glorious day....

NE's winning % is practically identical inside the division vs the rest of the league....they win roughly 75% of their games against the entire NFL....they dominate everyone...except Denver in Denver , Miami in Miami and Baltimore........Brady has a winning record vs all teams except the Broncos....I think they would be dominant in any division.....

" Unfortunately bad officiating has become a big part of football "....Agree 100% " And until the NFL knocks down some of these rules, bad officiating is going to continue to be a big part of it"...Again, Agree 100% " hence us fans moaning about it."...Why ? Us moaning about it every Sunday has not changed a single thing.....if anything, the NFL has proven many times they don't listen to fans complaints or rarely do.....so if you are aware of the 1st 2 statement, and know it's coming, why bother moaning...just enjoyed the game the way it is...or you will always end up disappointed........

They didn't have to dig deep this week...lots of expert/columnists were expecting them to lose......I really think they are crazy enough to look at any negative things said about them.....anything...to give them an edge.....

Go SAINTS!!

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001010392/article/tom-brady-after-pats-rout-everyone-thinks-we-suck Always looking to get motivation somewhere.....I can picture Belichick plasting comments all over the locker room about NE not being as good as before etc....

I was...because I'm an idiot....I really thought Brady was done when he busted his knee in 2008...I was thinking..OK, you have 3 SB rings, you've been to 4.....have a perfect regular season.... ...that is enough to put you in the HOF........a crap load of $$ ....what else do you need...

I disagree.....They need to play much better than yesterday vs NE.....and I think they will.....if they come up with Saturday's effort, NE wins that game...they didn't really put away Indy 'til the end....

Gretzky ?

And that's why most people call him the GOAT....

I always get weary when I read " NE is not what they used to be"...they are going to their 8th AFCCG in a row....13th since Brady started.....that's 76% if you take out the year he missed....that is just stupid.....

I think Baltimore would have given them a harder time.....NE would have won, but not that easily....

I was peaking at the Chargers' Board...I feel bad for them...they thought they actually had a real chance....NE is stomping on their hearts right now....as they've done to us many times....
