If the Patriots win...

[BUSTAMOVE]

Of course we are hated. Think about it. If it was not our team doing what we are doing. We would hate that team. You get tired of never having a chance.

The cheating and conspiracy theory’s are just plain CHILDISH. Those people need to grow a set. When I hear someone spewing that nonsense I just ignore them with a smirk on my face. They are not worth my time.

I have been a Pats fan since the Plunkett days. To be honest. After going through all those bottom of the barrel years. I LOVE BEING HATED. I have what everyone else wants. Just smile and repeat. “That’s right.We are the Champs! Dilly Dilly”

Does the 2017 level of national hate for this team exceed the previously high 2007 level?

I would say yes, without a doubt. You’re already seeing all kinds of shots being fired the week the playoffs started, from discord with the big three to Belichick going to another team. As we saw recently, you can add a new story about Gisele pressuring Tom to retire, as well as a story on Brady and how he must be cheating with PEDs, because just being good and working hard isn’t an acceptable enough explanation.

They’ll be more if they win, I’d bet.

If Brady wins a SB without Gronk & Edelman, it'll be another feather in an already elite resume. ( Obviously). But my point is, it'll be even more fuel to the fire...if that's possible.

The last time Brady didn't have a # 1 WR/ TE in a SB was....SB 38? 39?

What about last year?

You mean the year WR Deion Branch won Super Bowl MVP?

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

who do people follow the haters? Tune out the media and enjoy the SB next Sunday.

Easy for you to say. I am in the belly of the beast with a Patriots license plate and Pats decals....and everybody, from patients, employees, to the UPS guys know I am a rabid Pats fan and displaced Bostonian.. In the past ( even SB 39) it wasn't a problem but this year is different. They are so obnoxious so ****y they will win it will be pathetic ( and funny) if they lose...
For a franchise that has never won a Super Bowl ( even the JETE won once albeit nearly 50 years ago) they sure talk lots of crap,,,,,,,,,

Local supermarket gives 5% off if you wear Eagles gear on game day. Nope, never gonna happen. I wear Pats jerseys and sweatshirts to p*ss them off and will on Feb 4th..

Seems like the Atlanta comeback broke many haters. I've seen several people now say they give up and let Brady and BB win as much as humanly possible so they can at least tell their kids they saw the GOATs.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

After the last 2, more real fans have moved to the 5th stage of grief, acceptance (I do love the symmetry with the fifth ring )

If the Pats win, expect them to hate us but realize what’s always been the truth: hate us cuz they ain’t us.

I know... almost don’t know what to do with that...

Another “is Brady as good as Jordan?” Comment on one of the “enemy” sports channels this week.

Weirrrrd.

 

[PlainOldEd]

If we win, the fix is in

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

If we win, the fix is in

...If we lose, we're done... Fell off the cliff... BB is done... TB is done..

But, I have feeling we'll be dealing with the dreadful "Cheating" moniker. LOL!!

Too funny.

What's better, actually winning all the time, or hearing the whining all the time?
I personally like both.

It's good to be the king.

The hate is worse this season in my opinion. Living outside of New England I see it everyday. I must have turned off the Facebook newsfeed from a dozen people this week.

Deion Branch says hello.

at this point if the Patriots win, they are Kylo Ren

Back to the topic, hatred of the Patriots is at an all time high. It can only be exceeded by a sixth ring. I welcome the hatred. I live on Long Island. I wore my "The North Remembers" tee shirt today. Most of my co-workers are Jete fans. Muhaahaaahaaa.

 

[Deus Irae]

Most of the vitriol seems played out. Now it's largely just rote. Well, rote and a weak prayer for Brady's retirement to speed itself along.

After this SB, it's t-shirt time:

8 SBs played
6 rings won
0 Fs (or whatever other level of derisive and dismissive language you choose i.e. "****s", "damns", "darns", "cares") given

 

[Tony2046]

Well I think it's a bit different when someone is being a blatant racist to someone who is being an idiot goober fan of a hater team.
The way I deal with haters is I be as sarcastic as I can.

Like if someone says "you guys have won those SBs By cheating" I USED to be like "give me an example". And they would usually give me one of those bogus fake news stories about them taping practices.

But now I go "YEP! We are cheating SOBs! Damn straight! Why aren't you cheating like we are? Oh I know, because you CAN'T!"

Usually after that they roll their eyes and walk away.

I'm down in Atlanta Falcon territory and it's been pretty mellow down here both in the public with my Pats gear on and on the radio waves. Mostly not the Pats again type stuff.

But the other day a couple of guys threw out the spygate and the deflategate at me and I said, "How do they go to five super bowls after you take the spygate "cheating" away and three more after you checked the ball pressure? And how does Brady's numbers get better?" "You'd figure if you took what they were doing to win away they wouldn't still be winning"

And then I drop trou and show them the crack of my hairy ass. hahaha

Ok I didn't moon anyone and I was polite as were they because they were just just ribbing me for wearing the Pats gear.

Its amazing how many owners and front office personel are clueless. Simms said on this week in the NFL, you know why more coaches and teams arent doing what the Pats are? It's hard work. As much as I disliked Simms on my TV he's right. Same as lombardi, work twice as hard at every little thing more than anyone else and you have your edge.
BB is our modern day Paul Brown. He took what Brown did and adapted it to today's game.

What part? I''m in Cartersville right outside of Atlanta and get a ton of hate
