He then went on to clarify: It is a team philosophy. We bring teams into deep water and let them drown.

What a tool. If the Pats score before the half or if Slater doesn't fumble a kick off (nothing to do with the Steelers drowning the Pats), who knows how things would have turned out. I'd love to meet them again with a couple of players back from injury.

I'm not too sure we were gonna win on Sunday with or without the fumble, but I was just trying to imagine Brewski or Vrabel making a comment like Colon's about any opponent, let alone a reigning AFC Champion, back in the day... Somehow, I couldn't imagine them saying anything like that. But then again, the guy does have to go through life with the same name as his poop maker.

His statement was pretty classless, but when you lose, you sometimes have to put up with shiite like that.

How is that being a tool, he was right. Stop being such a sensitive little girl.

Not sure how some are construing his comments as classless or 'disgusting.' He didn't disparage the Pats at all. I think he simply meant they could see the Pats were getting frustrated at he end of the first half, which is probably true.

And for those folks claiming the Pats would never do something like this, please. Sending the Dolphins a photo of their middle finger with the ring on it after 2001. Dancing on Chargers logo.

LMAO!!! Are you serious? I've never heard that before. That's awesome, if true.

It's awesome when it's your guy, it's 'disgusting' and 'classless' when it's the other guy. go figure.

No, he wasn't right. The Pats didn't crap their pants just before the half. They played like crap, but the didn't crap in their pants at the prospect of the Steelers dragging them into deeper waters. And I could give a crap what he says, just thought you guys would find it amusing. Don't read next time.

Showing frustration and showing fear are two different things. I heard the interview & he was alluding to fear. If he had intimated frustration, I wouldn't have posted his comments.

I would expect that type of behavior between division rivals though. I know I'm probably alone in that thought process but hey, it is what it is.
