It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Kurt Warner finally admitted he cheers against the Pats in the playoffs...not because he doesn't like them, but because he wants to see "another team have a chance." Sure Kurt....that's the reason.
John Madden, on Sirius this morning, stopped short of picking a team but said that he thinks the Ravens are a "team of destiny." Of course he precluded this by saying, "Last week I said the Seahawks were a team of destiny and so much went right for them..."
So, maybe he picked the Patriots?
(Oh, he also put this little nugget in there, "When Gronkowski plays, Brady will throw to him. When he doesn't, Brady throws to other guys.")
Lmao, all 4 of the former players on NFLN picked baltimore. there is some serious hate for the Patriots on that network, even with McGinest on it. Faulk, Sapp, Warner and irvin all took the Ravens. Irvin has always been fair to NE but the other 3 flat out hate them. Not surprising as that really kind of reflects the nation as a whole, people are really sick of the Patriots winning as much as they do and if they win this week then the only people who will be rooting for them in new orleans are going to be Patriot fans.
That and Saints fans if Atlanta wins.
But, as for the other stuff...haters gonna hate...
Lmao, this is unbelievable. Rich Eisen just showed the head to head stats for Brady/Flacco and used Flacco's 2 wins as evidence he outplays him, ignoring the fact that Brady has 3 against him. This is like a headline in Pravda where a russian race car faces an america race car and the headline reads that the Russian car came in 2nd and the american car came in next to last.
The Patriots are 7-2 against the Ravens and NE has never lost a Championship game in NE and that somehow adds up to "advantage Ravens."
Here's my prediction, Flacco throws 3 interceptions today and the Patriots leave absolutely no doubt at all as to who the better team is.
Agreed. Also, I'm tired of guys like Faulk using the "Pats are 29th in the league vs the pass, so Flacco will throw all over them" argument. Just simply using the yards statistic again without any concept of when those teams racked up all of those passing yards vs the Pats (ie when they Pats had blown the score of that particular game open which left the other team with no other option than to throw and the Pats dropped into a "keep everything in front of you" defense.) I felt like all week I just wanted a win......now, I want a blowout.
You know, I'm starting to figure out how the Steeler and Cowboy fan bases got to be so douchey. After years of success, the hate level just shot through the roof and once isolated, it's just kind of like, well "**** those guys" in reference to everyone else. I can see that happening with our fanbase, and it all started in 2007 with WitchHuntGate.
Yup, the patriots were loved by everyone before 2006 and then it just flipped.
I can recall people saying in 2003-04 - before the Pats had even won their second Super Bowl - that 'they were tired of the Patriots winning all the time'.
