The Championship Pat's teams never said anything, yet any tiny slight from another team worked them into a frenzy. And the other teams paid for such slights.
I'll never forget in the 2007 season, the Pats were blowing people out, and I'll never forget, I cringed when Tom Brady said, "we wanna kill teams" after the Pats scored 52 against the Bills. From that moment on, every game afterwards were nailbiters, even against losing teams. Seems like whenever the Pats open their mouths, it ALWAYS seems to come back to bite them in the ass. Welker's feet comments, and we lose AT HOME IN THE PLAYOFFS to a Jet team we beat a couple of weeks earlier 45-3.
Just keep your ******* mouths shut guys, and play the ******* game on the field. Let them do the talking off of it, and Rodney style, make it your mantra, use it to your advantage.
