I'm kind of wondering how many tyreek TDs will get get magically called back this year.

It depends...if the NFL wants KC in the SB, it will happen. They will just ignore/control pivotal calls to "allow" them to win. We've seen it with Brady, Manning,...Brees.

I always worry about teams getting a new stadium... they gave the Rams a SB appearance last year. Saints fans nearly set their city on fire and put up billboards...the SB had it's lowest rating in 10 years. Do they try to invent a Chargers SB this year...and give Rivers a legacy gift? 2019 is his last shot... They did that for HGH-Head, so who ****ing knows.

Chargers can barely fill a soccer stadium.

True...and I dont think the NFL owners are as adamant about the success of the Chargers as they are of the Rams. They kind of just got dumped on LA...

They are pulling the strings that they can...getting the national press to award them SB favorites.

It defies logic that they would be considered...given how they had their ass handed to them by the Patriots. Injuries had nothing to do with it...they were just out-coached. It didn't even give the refs a chance to rig it for the Patriots.

Chargers should legitimately be considered for wild card favorites...the press seems to think they are some powerhouse. They arent...it's manufactured. It's definitely weird...considering Mahomes is a far superior QB than Rivers...and Reid is in another class than Anthony Lynn.

River's best season was 32 TDs....PM threw 50 in his first year starting. Yeah...reality vs. media hype.

Or BOTH! A double whammy of fate filled deliciousness!

Sigh... What could have been...

So Mr. Amnorix.
Why have you not spoke about the similarities with the publics distain for Kraft and ‘Reek?
I think we’re all being a little hypocritical, lol?

Not that anyone can really cover him, but that one catch for 42 yards in the AFCCG suggests the Patriots can do it as well as most anyone.

Actually, the only thing I'm saying is that the Commissioner's conduct policy is completely inconsistent and nonsensical. As I said before, I don't think what Hill did warrants suspension, but it's very hard to reconcile with other punishments Goodell has handed down, especially the long suspension he gave to Ezekiel Elliot.

All I really want is a better process from the NFL. One that isn't completely arbitrary and not subject to review by anyone else.

But the only way to get that, really, is for the NFLPA to get it through the new CBA. That will be difficult, to say the least.

No Patriots fan has any love for Eason either.

Contary to the popular belief, the Patriots DON'T have is the WEAKEST division in the history of the universe, like some here claim. Did Peyton have any real competition in the AFC South all those years? How about the Packers in the consistently mediocre NFC North? Sure, other teams would sometimes have a good year or two, but then they'd flame out pretty fast.

If you look at the stats of AFC East teams versus teams in other divisions, you'll see a few things:

1. the record of the Patriots INSIDE AND OUTSIDE the division is about the same. In other words, they kick the AFC East's ass, but they also kick pretty much everyone else's ass also.

2. The record of the other AFC East teams versus the other divisions is not terrible.

But hey, stats don't matter to anti-Patriot haters. At least, if it doesn't fit the narrative they want to spin.

Stats (since the start of 2001):

vs AFC East: 86-24 (.782 win percentage)

vs. everyone else (134-44) (.753)

vs. teams that won their division that season: 24-14 (.632) (only team with a winning record in that stat)

vs teams that went to the playoffs that season: 60-33 (.645) (only team with a winning record in that stat; Steelers .480)

vs teams that finished with a winning record that season: 75-45 (.625) (only team with a winning record in that stat; Steelers .440)


Since 2003 the record inside/outside the division is even closer:

The Patriots are 71-19 since 2003 in the AFC East. That’s a .788 winning percentage. Outside the division, they are 118-32 (.786).

NE has reinvented itself so many times it's mind-boggling.

I just shrug my shoulders and know that they have been the best for a long time. Great head coach that constantly molds his team to what is needed. Great QB that is willing to kill his first born to achieve success. They get players that fit the mold.

The don't accept failure on any terms.


I have the utmost respect for the team, coach, and players for NE. They've earned it.

I don't really give a **** about the fans, because we are all pretty much the same no matter what team.

One thing I laugh at is the fan that pounds his chest like he's accomplished something because the team he cheers for wins a SB.

Post all the stats you want- but the fact is you get to play the Jets, Bills and Fins 6 times a year. An automatic Division title and home Playoff game. Heck of an advantage.

Like I said- according to you- the Pats have the toughest schedule, never got any breaks, toughest division, never did anything unethical. The Perfect Patriots are Perfect!!! :rolleyes:

Wouldn't an "anti" Patriot hater actually be a fan? So on this point, I will agree, Patriot fans spin stats to fit whatever narrative that makes their team look perfect. I think you got carried away there with your Patriot propaganda spamming.
