Props to the Patriots & Matt Cassel (and gasp! even the Hoodie)

[bolts_fan]

I'm a die-hard Bolts fan ( ) so go easy on me... but I've been following the Patriots with mild interest this season ever since Tom Brady went down. I fully admit that I followed you guys just to see if Belichik is as great a coach as you all think he is, especially when losing a QB of Brady caliber and bringing in a virtual unknown.

1. I admit, I may have been wrong in my assessment of the Hoodie in grey, as much as I have to admit it. I may not like him, but man... he has earned my respect. To see him bring this team together like that after a devastating week 1 where I see many Pats fan (on this forum no less) gave you all up for dead... well, that is amazing. Props to Belichik! (He still rubs me the wrong way but credit where it's due).

2. Matt Casel. Wow... the dude has been a beast. I mean, who would have really expected this? Really? But I'm telling you what, I'm hoping he hits the FA market and goes somewhere else because when Brady's back and Casel is his backup... that's one scary team.

3. The Patriots team. Hey, they all could have given up, but man did they hang in there and now they're on the verge of making the playoffs. I have to respect the team for that, rival to my Chargers or not. Personally, I would like to see you guys in just so that when we hoist the Lombardi trophy overhead, we won't have to hear excuses about deserving it or not! (Hey, gotta get my smack in)

Well, that's all I have so peace. Good luck to you all this weekend!

If one-sided trash talking makes for a rivalry, then you got me...the Pats and Punk Chargers are a rivalry.

The Chargers are one of the few teams I'd have no problems rooting for if they make the playoffs and we don't. So best of luck (unless we get there of course!)

You KNOW the Colts are rooting for Denver, they don't want any part of SD even though the Colts did beat them earlier in the year.

Trying going to a Pats - Chargers game in San Diego one day and see if you still feel the same. And yes, I have gone to away games at almost half the teams in the league so my opinions come from some level of context, not an isolated incident.

The Pats sucked but I had no problem with Charger fans in the seats you sold me early this year.


The only reason I would route for them though is I dont want to see the Giants, Colts, or Steelers get two this decade so one for them is better.

Let me get this straight, last year's 16-0 didn't convince you enough that Belichick was the real deal???

Lol, good one. Don't forget two hard-fought playoff wins against very good teams (although the Chargers were banged up).

Anyway, thanks for the post Bolts Fan.
