Ugh, the Patriots

[Platokidd]

Being a Chicago fan I love hate the Packers , Cards and Red wings. But at the same time I have a very high respect for their organizations. Those teams are all class acts in my book.

The history that surrounds the Pats right or wrong its there........., maybe you can understand how some folks see it or at least try too..

The first real heartbreak in my life was when "De Bears" spanked my Patriots in the 85 SB. My goodness, the "Fridge" even scored a TD if I remember right! I was so disapointed, but life went on.
Like i tell DW's youngest son (35 years old) who is a BIG Steelers fan, you gotta pay the refs more than Bilichick does if you want to beat the Pats!

In case you forgot, the Patriots got caught cheating several times during the Belichick era. They’re cheaters

I really like the Eagles’ chances in this one. That’s not because I think the Patriots are bad. I just think the Eagles are legitimately very good. The Patriots edge out the Eagles in the quarterback department, which isn’t insignificant, but the Eagles edge out the Patriots in how the quarterback deparment is impacted.

I also think the Eagles are in a very unique spot. They weren’t supposed to be here (what the help happened to me Vikings &#128547. I think they have incredible swagger and confidence. They’re playing very loose and they have a lot less to lose here than the Patriots do. If the Eagles lose, it’s obviously going to suck, but they still way exceeded expectations. If New England loses, they’re going down to*Nick Foles*and Doug Pederson, two guys no one every really thought all that highly of. What does it say about Brady and Belichick’s legacy if they lose? I mean, it’s still great, yeah, but doesn’t it take some kind of hit? In this way, the Pats have more to lose.

Anyway, it should be a great game. And it really can’t get here soon enough.

Since were talking “cheaters”, can anyone explain why the Colts weren’t punished in deflate gate. The patriots balls were below the minimum for air, not in dispute. But they were punished for it. The colts had 4 balls measured before they ran out of time. Ran out of time is code for “the results were vindicating the pats so we need to stop checking”. But 3 of those 4 were below minimum as well. If the pats cheated, so did the colts, right?

Look while I dont condone cheating in sports,(and will defend the Pats to the end-its science!) be it professional or otherwise there will always be someone looking for an advantage. How many soccer matches or basketball games have we seen with the exaggerated/fake fouls,baseball has its weighted bats,steroids and foreign substances and you could go on into every sport and find those who are looking for any advantage. How about you? Ever cheat on your score card? I am not condoning it just saying let him without sin cast the first stone

Yeah I hear ya, but with all that being said....why cant we just gather the incriminating video evidence. After reviewing the evidence, the offended party has the option of confronting the other. Have independent third parties also chime in on play not just the officials

[n-e-d]

No not more videos.😡Kind of makes the old days before replay look more desirable😂

All I can say is the two best team did get beat out of a super bowel and tired of the same o same o. I'll be watching but will not root for either one to win. Maybe they could tie. Later RJD
