Could the New England Patriot BE any more pathetic?
 

Sorry, mini rant. (realize Q and mega-thread, blah, blah, blah . . . )

Was listening to 610 on the way to work this morning and they keep talking about how 'disrespected' the Patriots players feel.

Tom Brady says they 'suck' and 'they think we can't beat anybody'. Julian Edelman is hashtagging #BetAgainstUs, printing t-shirts with this on it and selling them and posting Chiefs hype videos. And various other examples. Are you ****ing kidding me with this shit?!?

You're the freaking Patriots. You've been to 8 straight AFC Title games. The last 2 Super Bowls. You're the defending AFC Champs for gods sake. The phrase 'act like you've been there before' comes to mind. I mean, if the Chiefs were trying to pull this bullshit, I guess you could understand it a little (being that they haven't been there). But the Patsies??

If I was a Pats fan, I would be worried. My team is supposedly the greatest dynasty in modern sports time, but the players I'm rooting for are having to create these contrived narratives to properly motivate the team for the AFC Title Game?!? That just tells me they know they're about to get their asses beat and their ONLY chance is to try and create this motivational sub-plot to try and get their team to play better than they have all year to knock off the Chiefs. I mean, I guess I get why they're doing it, but it's still pretty pathetic. Especially when it's coming from the freaking Patriots of all teams. Yet another reason why all of America hates the Patriots, their cheating and their whiny bullshit tactics.

Boo-****ing-hoo. :deevee::deevee::deevee: :deevee::deevee::deevee:


(Sorry, end of rant)

“greatest dynasty in modern sports time”

Wonder how they would of handled could of played but didn’t feel it in my spirit?

Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing. It's backfiring on twitter too.

Why yip they can be moar pathetic, proof is by their fans that have in-fluxed this board.

Hopefully they talk about it so much, that they will psych themselves out, and actually suck.

These are the hallmarks of a team on its last legs. We win Sunday and next year I'd bet they don't even make the AFCCG. Then the following year they don't make the Divisional Round. And then they go a decade without even making the playoffs.

I don't even put this on their whiny fan base. This is all on the players.

And it's pathetic. Actually, beyond pathetic . . . .

Their version of “Boogie Nights”

Manufacturered motivation. Now that Brady doesn’t have every national media member sucking his cawk annually, he perceives it as people thinking they “suck.”

They, as a team, really need a taste of humble pie. Just because you’re not universally accepted as the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl doesn’t mean you “suck.”

Grow up douche.

Bunch of whiney ass little bitches

is anyone actually shocked that Brady and Edelman are whiny pussies?

They could go 8-8 and still win their pathetic division so it would be pretty hard for them to not make the playoffs. This is what happens when you get a free ride to the playoffs every year. If there was another team in their division that could compete with them then we would never had to hear about the Patriot dynasty. They are a team full of spoiled brats that feel entitled to go to the Super Bowl every year and now they're getting older and they realize that their run is just about over. Nobody feels sorry for them!

They have been to 8 straight AFCCG's. Won 5 Super Bowls during this run. The GOAT still performing as one of the top QB's in the NFL. Best coach in the NFL. Disrespect card? WTF? They must have pulled a muscle stretching to pull the disrespect card.

It’s a play to get the Refs to fell sorry for them.

Nobody is buying it.


Here is the truth: The only reason they are only a -3 underdog is due to mythology and emotion.

Yep, should be about 7 IMO.

i know its on the site somewhere, im too lazy to look it up: who's teh ref crew for the game?
please don't let it be the "all-star team" from the rams/chefs game......please no please no pleasssse.

;)

It’s the same head ref from that game, but I think it’s his usual crew. Their stats for games called appear to be pretty even-handed.

Can we stop calling Tom Brady GOAT? It's time to accept that there's a new sheriff in town.

Somebody also posted this is the ref that blew the whole deflategate thing wide open. :clap:

Too bad the Chiefs didn't beat them week 6. That loss would have put them playing wildcard weekend as the 3 seed, hosting the Colts. I bet that they wouldn't even be playing in the AFCCG if that had happened.

He's the GOAT. Mahomes is the better QB now, but he's not the GOAT. He plays like this for 7-10 years, thats another thing.


Back on topic


Edleman wearing bet against us shirt. Trying to push #betagainstus

It's likely just a coincidence but every time I turn on the radio in my car it's about this BS...or what Philly is going to do with Foles...or whether Jones should have kept his HC in Dallas. Swear to God, the Chiefs get any air time compared to big market teams that AREN'T EVEN IN THE HUNT anymore. Incredible.

For being a fan base that's spoiled rotten by winning teams, you will never see fans more desperate to let you know how sorry you should feel for them.

They're a few points underdogs on the road. Almost nobody in the media is saying the Pats are going to roll over and die.

All-Star Cast Refs

Nothing like a little manufactured outrage...these guys are pitiful...

Head ref's home winning percentage is the lowest among refs at 37.3% home winners.

Yep, but Brady found a place to hide the illegal balls this time (not on his chin)....

All this bullshit prompted the most passive-aggressive article I've seen in some time. It's kind of funny.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...-card-nfl-2018

It's a function of them trying to give themselves something to play for. I think it speaks to the fact that after this many title games in a row they are struggling to get up for them every year.

Speaking of air pressure, I sure hope Andy double checks with the refs that they(footballs) are at regulation pressure since it will be in the low teens on Sunday.:shrug:

It's what happens when Bellichek finally burns you out on winning. Just ask Amendola,Welker,Gronk.......etc:D

Yeah, it's hilarious/ridiculous. In some degree of fairness to them, the media up here has been crucifying them all year because they weren't the usual, dominating, #1 seed, team we've been spoiled by all these years. To turn it into "everyone thinks we suck" is like 20 bridges too far.

But hey, if it motivates them, whatever. And if it pisses off others, that's ok too. :D

ROFL

Do they actually believe this crap? Do they actually believe everybody ELSE believes it?

Due to the immutable laws of physics, the balls will not in fact be at regulation pressure by halftime. Too bad the ****ing NFL doesn't understand that.

I guess they didn't see that Colin Cowerd said that home field advantage has been wiped out and the cold temps will favor the Pat's :)

Who cares. It's a WAAAY better mentality for them to have than "we're the ****ing Patriots, bow down to us and acknowledge that we're going to the Super Bowl and nobody can stop us!!! WE'RE THE ****ING GREATEST WITH THE GOAT COACH AND GOAT QB!!!!!!"

That type of complacency/ mindset gets your ass smoked.

How about just not say anything at all?

If Brady and Jules think that that shit will help motivate his teammates one iota, then go for it. Why the hell not?

Rodney Harrison rode that horse into the ground but it seemingly helped them win a SB in 2004.

One thing matters here -- WINNING. They can say whatever they want and if it helps them win, I couldn't care less.

Because it's hilariously pathetic. And if that kind of crap actually has the ability to motivate the Patriots, it has the ability to motivate the Chiefs too. Seems it might be better to just focus on something other than social media.

This really speaks as pathetic and entitled. Who flips their shit because they aren't 10 point favorites? Hell a lot of the media is still picking the Patriots to win where is the disrespect?

It's a made up narrative that no one believes.

Black and white Planet.... really though, "bet against us"/"everyone thinks we suck" probably does stem from arrogance, it's just an incredibly passive aggressive way of showing it.

Less than 100% agreement that the Patriots will dominate is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Dont stop I'm almost there

You mean they(NFL) can't have a person designated to make sure the footballs are at regulated air pressure all game ?? Please !!!:rolleyes: You know having a person with an air gauge and pump standing next to the ball boy all game ??

That's very doable Anorexia:shrug:

:rolleyes: And yet they don't do that. They supposedly implemented a random testing policy, and yet they refuse to release any results from any of those tests that they did, or did not, take. What they CAN do and what they ACTUALLY do, are two very different things.

It appears pretty clear, however, that once again having won their power struggle against the NFLPA over the Commissioner's power/authority, they're very happy to let the entire topic die now that they better understand the ideal gas law.

Actually, it's also easier than this. Pressure is lost as temperature declines. If the outside temperature is 20 degrees, then all you need to do is inflate the balls to proper pressure in a 20 degree environment so no pressure is lost transitioning from the locker room to the field.

They may do this now, though I haven't heard a single word about any changes in the approach to football preparation on game day to ensure air pressure integrity.

It seems like they are trying to generate some sort of angle to keep their edge going. Seems weird to me, but whatever.

The Pats and their fans can all EABOD's. They are surrendering their crown Sunday night.

Just anxiety rearing it's head coming from both the fan base and players knowing they will be getting a pure ass kicking for sure.;)

Whining about the Patriots whining about not getting respect.

Naw, just laughing at them. WTF hasn't this dipshit been rompered yet?

yip

This is what the second thread on this? That’s a lot of laughing.

Yeah. It's REALLY ****ing pathetic. Can't wait to see a few #betagainstus shirts at Arrowhead. The trolling will be glorious.

He sold BeatLA shirts last week too. In all honesty I have no idea how he could get them all shipped out in time for Sunday.

We're football fans on an internet billboard.

The players are professionals that get paid a lot of money to do their jobs.


I can't help you if you don't see the difference there . . . . .

You need to manufacture slights when aside from a few shock jocks no one is really doubting you.

Fair enough.

At least you're acknowledging it for what it really is . . . . .


Doesn't make it any less pathetic, though.

Well, at least he has a fallback career.

Desperation

First time in 65 games they haven't been favored. 65! This fan base is in its beginning stages of withdrawal from the top of the league.

No. And Brady couldn't have any more of a little bitch arm.

Good. Thank God. I hope the Chiefs just tear these ****ers throats out.

Dalton-style.

It will certainly look a lot more pathetic on Monday, after they've lost.
