Not sure how I feel about Dee Ford saying “I’ll take a fine, around this time of the year”

When asked about getting Brady to the ground when asked about Speaks not finishing in the last game.

Not sure that was the smartest thing to say to the media.

Get ready to complain about a complete lack of holding calls.

JFC, he seriously said that? :facepalm:

bring on the yellow hankies. Stupid MF

Arrogance at its finest. I hope we shut these Massholes the **** up by blowing them out Sunday. I’m so sick of their cocky ego. There’s not a damn shred of humility in that franchise.

I dont think that's how he meant it...he was speaking to Speaks was worried about getting a penalty for sacking Brady. He was saying he'll sack Brady if he has the opportunity.

"Fine" implies a dirty hit...could have used a better word like "flag".

Gronky Gronk and the Squirelly Bunch?

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

eh..take it in context..Speaks let up on the Brady sack because he was afraid of the flag, IIRC.

yep

THIS guy...is the mole in the Patriots system. He was knee deep in the spy.gate scandal, Shit...nobody knows what his actual job is with any team he's ever been involved in. Browns owner didn't even know what he actually did..

Sorry...you dont walk on from Wallstreet to the NFL without a specific designation. You dont use a flip-phone while simultaneously being savvy enough to use analytics. That flip phone it essentially a burner (The Wire reference)...he uses it by design. Untraceable..

He has a direct line to the headset of Belichick during a game...someone please explain this? What is he offering during a game...

I posted earlier how it wouldn't be that difficult to intercept an opponents frequency channel...if you were privy to the number.

There is a striking differential between how they play at home vs away...he cant gain access to the same things in a foreign stadium.

There is no doubt in my mind they systematically cheat...like another level "dedicated to it...way of life" type of situation. The numbers back that up...

Please explain why your entire fanbase is scared shitless of playing KC on the road..but at home you think they would win.

The discrepancy is even more magnified this season where you didn't have as strong of roster....8-0 home/3-5 road.

I never implied that Belichick and Brady aren't good at what they do...I AM implying that it wasn't the only factor involved in the Foxborough mystique...or to simplify "impropriety".

I haven't really put much thought into the "NE way"...or that every coach, that leaves that place, fails. That fact alone is weird. Patriots weren't a factor in the AFCW except on a rare occasion. This AFCCG game led me dive a bit into whats actually been going on...and I think the numbers suggest something is compromised...or "corrupted".

There is no question that the culture there pushes things to see what they can get away with...Josh McDaniels got busted filming the 49ers with the Broncos...where do you think this idea permeated from?

Great work Edelman, doors at 640? Must be asking for their fans to get there late. Pretty sure the game STARTS at 640.

Patriots against the world? BS, this is veiled jab that overty hints the Chiefs suck

or in any other Boston sports franchise. I've hated Boston long before it became cool to do it.

Is our fanbase scared? I'm not sure. I'm a Patriots fan, but also an anime and gaming fan soI don't always have time to read what everybody is saying. For me, I am always more confident at home. Any team should be. I don't know if NE cheats at home. I truly believe its just because they are good. I believe in my team. I understand spygate was real. However, I was a teenager back then and I have forgiven since. I support my team. I understand how hated they are.

I love my team though and believe in them. If it came out they truly were cheating every home game I would be dissapointed. I trust them, but it would hurt.
