how can you go against the Patriots? they dominated both games against 2 very good teams the Chargers and Chiefs.


if Patriots could handle Mahomes at KC, they will handle Goff in Atlanta. Brady will exploit that Rams secondary and this time they will call PI on the Rams if they pull the same thing on the Pats receivers.

I could let this one go out of sheer boredom if not for two things. One, the Patriots have the most pathetic fan base of any team since the Cowboys of the 90s. I mean they are geeks even among band wagoner fan boys. I'm not counting actual New Englanders, of which I do know one. I can respect his loyalty and he was honest to admit that the Patriots are tainted under Brady and Bellichick for cheating. And that's the second point, they are a team of cheats and all of their accomplishments under these two have got to be questioned. How many rings do they really deserve? Not 5. 2? Maybe 3? Maybe none?
I have a coworker who for a whole freaking year has gone around with a constipated and very pissed off look on his face after them losing to the eagles. Now today he was crowing about 13 AFC championships. If he has a blow up Tom Brady doll to sleep with I would believe it.
I'm waiting for the day when this gets exposed and the myth that these bums are football Gods is destroyed. Lifetime bans from the Hall Of Fame, disbanding the franchise, renaming the team and stripping them of their championships.
And don't forget that as shady and underhanded as these guys are they are EXTREMELY prey to blackmail and them throwing a game would make the Vegas bookmakers a ton of money.

Multimillionaires whose ability to make money both on and off the field is dependent on winning are 'EXTREMELY prey to blackmail'? You don't appear to understand how blackmail actually works if you think that.

You also apparently have no idea how bookmaking works. Vegas doesn't care who wins. The line is set so that no matter the winner, they skim off 10% of the millions bet on games.

I'll say Patriots 24-14 if only because I hope Brady & Belicheck retire afterwards and give the other 15 AFC teams a chance to win something.

I'll wager the entire city of St. Louis won't even bother recording it.

There's so much "rigged by Vegas" garbage out there. Vegas wins no matter what. Point is moot too as the Chiefs had the game won if not for Dee Ford not lining up in the neutral zone.

I understand the hate but you're gonna miss them when they're gone. There will never be another run of NFL dominance like these Patriots have put together. It'll a different team every year that will only excite that city's fanbase. The SB won't be special anymore because ever city will end up getting a trophy eventually.

The standard for the NFL is a dynasty, not a SB victory.
