18-0; and the Disprespect Card is back - New England Patriots Forums

***BelichickFan*** · 01-30-2008, 06:30 PM

The guys on FSNE are right. We're 18-0 but the team that loves to be disrespected is right back where they want to be.

- The Giants' black suits for the funeral.
- Burress' "prediction"; did you see the look on Brady's face about scoring only 17 ?
- The media saying the Giants have momentum.
- The media saying Eli has been the best QB in the playoffs this year.

We couldn't have asked for a better week. The Disrespect Card is back for real. Harrison will walk off the field saying "We were 18-0 but no-one thought we could do it".

So true! I love Rodney.

I don't get it also.

The Giants beat two freakin' NFC TEAMS the past two games by 3 points and 4 points.

The Pats beat two AFC teams by 9 and 11 points.

Why is it that the Pats are limping into the Super Bowl and the Giants are on some hot roll? The SB will be the first time the Pats have gotten a chance to play in perfect weather conditions since Week 9 of the season.

You're exactly right - - the media is beating that drum since last Sunday. It's incomprehensible.

We don't have to get it - as long as the team feels that chip. It's funny, around midseason Felger was joking about how the team could be undefeated and Harrison would still say "no-one thought we could do it"; well here we are, STILL undefeated and there is some legit disrespect going on. We aren't really an 18-0 team, we're a decent team the just happens to be 18-0

The Pats as a whole have had the more impressive season. (for obvious reasons of course) But, the Giants have had the more impressive playoff run.

Yeah you can argue the NFC is weaker and that you cannot choose who you play etc.

the 11-5 teams may be tougher than the 13-3 ones was part of the original posters point

Tampa Bay???? Lost at home to Jacksonville, and would get killed by SD.

The Cowboys? We beat 'em by 20+ points in their buiding.

The Packers? C'mon, be truthful. Were they real?

Look, what the Giants have done is impressive, winning tight games on the road against NFC teams.

Please tell me why the 18-0 Patriots are the team with no momentum.
