The longer Deflategate drags on.......

"Us against the world, and our owner who threw us under the bus and branded us as cheaters!"

If Kraft just showed at least a bit of backbone we would be able to circle the wagons as fans and rally around the team in an us vs. everyone else type of deal. But I really don't think we can do that anymore. Because really, what's the point?

I don't know man, these latest events can take the motivation of anyone, imagine going to a field play a game that is completely fixed and you know "external forces" are making a strong push to make you lose. It needs a lot of mental strength to overcome this.

And in this case the "mental strength" may just be in direct opposition to "good sense." That's a problem.

Us against the world !

Let's hope that "us" includes our QB for all 16 games

Basically I would have agreed with what the OP is saying IF Kraft had shown any resolve. If he had appealed only to lose that would have been enough. But no, he didn't even do that because he didn't want to do that. He doesn't care about this team and these players who have now been rendered living jokes by the media and throughout the league itself. Why should they play hard for him? I wouldn't.

Man I hope it all clicks with Dobson this year.

Well you don't have to answer to Bill Belichick If you did, it would be a very different story

And they're not playing for Robert Kraft at this point. They're playing for themseves and each other...they're playing for pride.

Didn't you hear, deflategate is over cause Kraft said so. Another problem solved.

Yup, he's taken it "off the agenda" rather than "extend it"

I made this thread to show you guys that the team isn't demoralize. They feel offended and galvanized.... and are preparing themselves to take on the world.

Forget the "32" this is about the "53"!!

Blount for the win!

***** all you want just remember that time I broke your ankles!

You are naive if you don't think a team and fans can rally around their QB because the owner didn't want to drag the NFL through the mud.

You are also sorely mistaken if you dont think BB will have them ready to sorch the earth.
