I think as long as we take care of the ball, Pats should win by a score or two after a close half.
The boogeyman every week is the opposing team's D-Line, and it seems like the Patriots have consistently answered the bell. I have confidence they'll put it together on Thursday.
I still think it's absurd that a case about alleged deflation of balls that may not have happened is what brought us to a point that the owners are reconsidering the disciplinary process, and not the case where Roger Goodell shirked on crystal clear spousal abuse in the Rice case. I guess all...
I think it would have stopped Al Michaels and Collinsworth mentioning it during the already tense fourth quarter. Which would have freed them up to, oh I dunno, talk about the moment.
Part of the reason for the Pats' success this year was their multiple looks in the backfield and their ability to be flexible. There were times when Logan Ryan looked lost and then times when he looked great. Same with Arrington, same with Butler. They're not the 1 and 2 for a reason, but the...
Disturbing thought.
The balls were in the bathroom. Possibly on the floor.
Tom Brady licks his hands before he touches the football.
Skeeved. So skeeved.
New NFL procedure: NFL Ball attendants required to go through metal detectors, are subject to full body cavities, and are precluded from using the restrooms while carrying balls.
They are, however, still required to wash their hands.
You know, every time I think this story has reached new heights of absurdity, someone reports something that ups the ante.
I feel like I'm in a satire of media coverage gone horribly wrong.
Getting pretty peeved that the information we're getting about this investigation is coming through provocative leaks with little to no explanatory context.
That being said, I have to reiterate one of my main points. It would be monumentally foolish of Bill and Tom to deny this thing so...
Why doesn't Don Banks care about the integrity of the game? Why doesn't Don Banks care about the children? Maybe he needs to look into the camera and apologize for not getting with the program.
Whether or not fans want to admit it, Kraft (as owner) has a dual role. He is for the Patriots, obviously, but he also has a role and responsibility towards the NFL. I'm not surprised he didn't openly support Bill and Tom - his organization has to run regardless of whether or not Tom or Bill...
How can you all expect Robert Kraft to issue an official statement defending his coach and quarterback when the NFL has not accused the Patriots of anything?
The NFL is investigating underinflated balls. That's very specific language. They're not investigating tampering, they're not...
This seems pretty cut and dry to me. BB and TB both said they didn't deflate the balls. If they did actually deflate the balls and then went on the national news and lied, then they deserve to get smacked for being so dumb. Or they went on the national news and said they didn't deflate the...
The only thing accomplished from that press conference is reaffirming just how ridiculous our media is.
Colbert could have been at that thing and been in character and no one would have batted an eye.
They don't like Belichick or the way he runs business. It's counter to their ability to be media members, and so they're going to absolutely milk opportunities like this for all their worth. I personally find their schtick insufferable, but that's me.
That being said, hate them if you want...
Ken, I've been lurking on this site for years reading your posts because they're insightful and they do, in general, disregard a lot of the emotional, knee-jerk nonsense that comes from the heat of being a fan with a passion for their team. I have to respectfully disagree with you on Kraft's...
Being left out to dry with what, exactly? Because people are accusing the team of cheating? Who cares what they say? There are just as many people writing and talking about how this is all a bunch of nonsense.
That's all this is. It's talk. If and when the league comes out and says that...
