I'm not one to be overly bothered by this stuff, but this one got under my skin, maybe because it was early in the morning...

During one of his conferences, he was asked to comment on how the Colts have been expected to get here for the last few years and haven't lived up to expectations, and after giving the generic answers he went out of his way to say (paraphrasing) "I think in the past we've been better than the ones who have made it here and won, but I guess it was just their time". To add insult to injury, the station I saw it on showed clips of the Pats' super bowls as he said it.

What is with this season, everybody honestly seems to have a real hatred for New England.

The Dog

I didn't see that conference, assuming that is an accurate take on what he said, he is then an idiot. I actually think I may root for the Bears now. He needs to focus on the present. What a dope.

BelichickFan

Everyone hates winners. In terms of "everybody" we just need to be thick skinned and take pride in the reason they hate us.

Assuming you got Peyton's quote right - ***** him. I hope he talks it up and, win or lose, we'll have our shot at him next year.

Did he really say that? What channel showed it? It's hard to believe because of the way he praised us for being the epitome of class after the AFCCG.

How can it be Indy's time before they've even played the SB? You can tell the Colts are sort of new to this SB stuff being as c0cky as they are. All they're doing is making the Bears hungrier and hungrier.

Its because we won't go away quietly into the night.

Every team we played and beat on our run (in the playoffs anyway) probably feels like "hey, we are as good as them but lost, how did they do that"

In manning's mind, he probably really thinks his teams had better talent (maybe they did), but they never had the heart.

LA_Rams_Fan

Ohhhh I dunno. Maybe it's bc y'all have won 3 out of 4 SBs during the first half of this decade? You think that might have something to do w/ it possibly? I can remember when we had our run as the GSOT. You know right b4 y'all stole all that in 2001, ya the good yrs. Anyhoo in 2001 I had CLOSE personal friends of mine actually pulling AGAINST my own %@%$#$@ Ram team!!! It goes w/out saying that I'm not friends of theirs anymore, but it wasn't just on a national level. It happened even on a local one. Everyone it seemed absolutely HATED my beloved Rams. And honestly they hated us for NO GOOD @#$@%@#$#@ reason. THEY JUST DID.

EVERYBODY...........and I mean EVERYBODY was a Patriot fan for SB 36. And what pi$$ed me off the most about that? Was that NOBODY gave two $hits about your team........UNTIL they played us in the SB. Look I understand that y'all cared about your own team, I get that really I do. I'm not trying to offend any of you, & I like your forum (you're nice ppl). I'm just talking about from a Ram fan perspective, & from the perspective of someone who doesn't live in Boston etc. Nobody cared about the Patriots, even after the Tuck rule (on a national level). Everybody was a Steeler fan, until you beat them. Then almost like MAGIC, the media invents this "Cinderella season" for the beloved upstart @#$@#%@#$ Patriots. Ohhh what a load of cr@p. Y'all were the team that no one wanted to see in there, & surprised everybody when you won it.

But were all those bandwagoners genuine Pats fans? Ohhhhh hell no, they dropped you like it was hot the very next yr. I've NEVER seen a TWO TIME SB Champion be considered an UNDERDOG, & for the life of me I still don't know how y'all manage to pull it off. But sure nuff, as your @%@#$@% Pattys were making their 3rd SB run nobody in the media said that they had a shot. (OK maybe a few did, but I'm making generalizations here). So once again you were the underdog against TO & the Beagles. Heck even this yr. you were supposed to get mowed up by the Chargers, & if they had a REAL coach you very well might have. Suffice to say after all this time it's AMAZING that a 3x SB Champion hasn't picked up a litany of band wagon loving fans, & it might be due to the ugly style w/ which you win. Hey no offense I'd love to win 3 SBs on a FG. All I'm getting at is that for whatever reason, ppl certainly don't love to cheer for the Pats. And w/ as much success as y'all have enjoyed? Ppl DEFINITELY love to watch you go DOWN, especially ME. So some of you may not understand it, but even if you don't. I hope your Patriots finally have to pay that piper, & FINALLY stop winning the $@$#@%#@ SB.

You know there is an old adage: "History tends to repeat itself".


Back when "happy feet" was at Tennessee, and LOSING TO FLORIDA and Steve Spurrier EVERY year of his 4 year tenure, they always made the claim after they lost, that they were the "better team", but ran out of time, etc despite getting soundly defeated all 4 years. But, despite their claim to being the "better team" every year (before and after the games), some how, they always ended up on the wrong end of the stat that mattered....SCOREBOARD. He is just "defaulting" back to his college days.

Brady to Brown

I heard Manning say this and watched the Patriots highlites as he said it. Cannot imagine who else he was talking about if not the Patriots. Maybe the Steelers.

Seymour93

Wrong.

We were favored by 7 points over the Eagles in SB XXXIX.
