The Evil Patriots Empire is back!

[DoubleDeluxe]

And now they’re going after McDaniels lol.

But I don’t mind reading that board. Reminds me a lot of us. Their GDT may be more negative than anything we see here lol

Their crowd isn't too dissimilar from ours in a lot of ways.
They have some really good objective posters.
Posters who are overly pessimistic.
Posters who are overly optimistic.
And then some posters that live in an alternate reality.
I live in Ontario and there are lots of Bills fans in these parts including some good friends of mine. They are a good knowledgable lot for the most part.
I've also seen many Pats/Bills games in Orchard Park.
They fans there are great.
I am never shy when I go, dressed in full Pats garb and I take a lot of ribbing of course, but at the end of the day they are great fans and it's a a fantastic place to tailgate and see a game.

Unfortunately there will be some carryover from the previous dynasty… a lack of votes to Pro Bowls/All Pro teams and individual player awards, hatred in the media, accusations of cheating.

Fortunately we’re used to this BS and only care about winning.

Loved going to games up there with my brother and our sons, we did it often back in the day. If you've got a thick skin even for Pats fans tailgating and the game at The Ralph (screw Rich/Highmark/New Era/whatever it's called this week) is a great total game day experience. Saddens me to think how much of that will probably dissipate when they move to Pegula's Palace.

I still see this coming down to the home game against the Bills.And now that I think about it I want it to come down to that. I want to watch a Mayan sacrifice where the Patriots cut out their heart and offer it to the football gods.

That wouldn’t bode well for us. That means Buffalo went like 7-1 or at worst 6-2 the rest of the way and we finished the season 2-4. If they lose to Tampa and the division still comes down to a home game against the Bills then something went very wrong

My first game there Derrick Cullors ran back a kickoff for an 86 yard TD.
There's a name from the past!

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Evil is a very scary word.

Pat the Patriot logo is scary too.

Well, I was frightened as a kid when I first read Johnny Tremain.

Our first trip up there the game was played in The Rockpile. Finding a safe place to park with the Mammoths roaming around was a challenge

They have had capable teams, I wouldn't call it mismanagement. They just couldn't get past Kansas City.

13 second game, defensive HC getting shredded 30 points plus, awful draft picks. It's not just that they lose. Moreso how it happened. You cannot be a defensive HC and consistently give up 30 plus in the postseason.

Let's say Buffalo loses before the Dec 14th game. And NE sweeps Giants/Bengals. A Buffalo win on the 14th still leaves the Patriots with one less loss. Buffalo wins the following three games. Patriots lose another game that is not Dolphins/Jets. I believe the 13-4 Patriots would win the division because they would be 4-0 vs Jets & Dolphins. Bills would be 3-1 vs said teams. Someone can correct me if in fact it does not go to division records first.

So if Buffalo loses to one of Bucs, Texans, Steelers, Bengals in the next four weeks, they are in a huge hole. They cannot afford any more losses. The Steelers and Texans games are on the road. Based on what I have seen, I can't see them winning all of those games.

The Patriots just need to beat teams they are supposed too. The Giants are a mess and the Bengals have a horrific defense.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Yes, the Pats can pay Maye after his 3rd accrued season is completed. Assuming that Maye keeps his current standing, NE should absolutely give Maye what he is worth like they did with Brady.

Dragging it out 4 - 5 years would be bad business.

He would need to turn into a bottom ten QB in order for him NOT to get a mega extension in 2027. The OL would need to be Texans level bad, horrific FA/draft decisions, and Maye simply not working hard enough. Unlikely.

If he keeps this up, the Krafts will have no choice but to make him.the highest paid QB in history. 65-70 million per year.

Last year, Jayden Daniels was the flavor of the year. Like Maye is right now.

CJ Stroud was the man who won OROY and had 2 solid seasons. Not many people are praising him in year 3 as before.

Fortunes can change overnight and hopefully that does not happen to Maye.

The best part is that the Bills had their window and still couldn't even make it to the Super Bowl. Their fans know that window is shutting fast.

The rest of the division is a mess as well. Jets will continue to suck. The Fish have to rebuild their defense and don’t have a QB. If the Billdoes take a few steps back, you’re looking at another potential run of at least a few years in the division.

Was he evil?

Dread them... Run from them... the Patriots arrive all the same.

I'm gonna go sit down now.

Of course not, just a lot of violence. War.

 

[Hugepatsfan]

I don’t think people hate the actual players and coaches the way they used to. Not even “think” they obviously don’t. At this point it’s more just like a meme to say Pats fans don’t deserve another good QB. People will always hate Boston fans but the hate for the organization is far from back. No one thinks the team is a villain, they just think all of us fans are assholes.

I was joking.

That B tunescribe was whining about evil.

When JAllen took that contract I knew he wasn't that serious about winning. Not that I blame him. Hard to walk away from an extra $100mil.

 

[Jim Beankie]

I couldn't care less about the Bills. They have a nice sound spot at like number 11 in my list of top 10 teams I hate. Below

1. Colts
2. Jets
3. Ravens
4. Steelers
5. Phins
6. Jets
7. Colts
8. Colts
9. Jets
10. Ravens

Edit: I forgot about the **** they pulled week 18 last year. Slot em in at number 5

Dunno man - if they didn't pull that crap, I'm not sure if the Pats would have both Campbell and Hendu (or Wilson or Aurora...) right now. Maybe they did the Pats a favor? I guess we'll see in the long run.
