Yup! They were on it 100%..........WRONG!

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Probably the last time we'll be underdogs for awhile...

Definitely make people think twice about goin against them.

To borrow from a former BSPN employee... "That's why they play the game."

Did you see the board here when gronk was not on the plane ? when our own fans.....

Right, fans, not paid analysts... Interesting how not one of them was able to see how Bill and staff could find a game plan that could lead to a win.

Saw this instagram, this seems to be a good thread to share in..

 

[Joker]

Merrill Hoge should have to eat one of his ridiculous ties...(and hopefully choke on it)

 

[AtomicDawg]

BTW.....the other mouthpiece of the NYJFL*, it's own network wasn't too far behind...

Man, half of them were picking the Bills over the Ravens on the road (duh! it's Tyrod Taylor and Rex Ryan, you mediots) and a few of them even took the Jets over Cinci... but none of them, zero point zero, could imagine the Pats coming out over the Cards? Have we really learned nothing over the last fifteen years?

We have, but for some inane reason "in Rex they trust"...

Someday they will move on beyond the bombasity and hype..

Thanks for posting the HSPN sheet. I never saw it since I don't go to that site anymore.

Two thoughts:
One, I hope they all had a lot of money bet on the game.
Two, my other favorite part was the eight Horseshoes in the row for the Colts game...Andrew must be feeling really "salty" this week.

If that's a serious question at the end , the answer obviously is "No, and we didn't need this to prove it."

That was a tough one for me. I disdain the Ravens, going back to Ray Lewis days and especially after their role in setting up Deflategate, but the Bills are in the Division and that's our first priority, so I went with pulling for the Ravens, knowing that I could be happy with either outcome.

A couple of comments:

1. Sorry, but this is one time I can forgive even BSPN for what they predicted. No one but an ultimate homer would have predicted the Pat going into AZ with that lineup and win.....really.

2. Beside who cares about those ridiculous predictions. I mean, Melissa Starks?????, PLEASE. Most of them don't know as much as we know, and we don't know ****, when you think about it.

3. I admit a certain feeling of satisfaction when you see the Pats turn it on the so called experts, but are they really? Even guys like Billick just flip coins, turns in a list, and collects his check. Do you really think he's down in his basement watching film anymore. Hell no, he's out on his deck, or coming back from fishing, then doing his five minute bits and hoping to be somewhat entertaining so he can keep his lucrative and easy gig for another year.

4. That being said, I like the Jets, Colts, Ravens and Bronco's more than I like BSPN.

ESPN wasn't alone though.

"Experts over at CBS Sports don't have any faith in the Patriots to get it done without Tom Brady, as all eight picking went with the Cardinals. Of the nine experts who picked at the time of writing from ESPN, all of them ware going with the Cardinals to win on Sunday night. There was one expert at FOX Sports who thinks the Patriots have a chance, with the other four sticking with Arizona.

Here at SB Nation, it's a similar spread.

Of the nine experts picking the Sunday Night Football match from SBNation, eight think the Cardinals will win, in addition to the OddsShark computer. Joel Thorman is the only one picking the Patriots. "

Experts picking Cardinals over Brady-less Patriots

Experts. LOL.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Only three actual experts picked the Patriots to win: this Joel Thorman, Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, and . . .

Chris Simms.

On the contrary, their mistaken picks have nothing to do with a lack of expertise. If we were neutral and had either money or professional status on the line, I'm sure that 90% or more of us would make the same call.

The Cards were 9.5 point favorites. If these guys were picking with the points, half would have gone in favor of the Pats, but they were picking simple winners. Can you blame them?? Of course not.

Espn does enough things wrong, but this is not an example of their cop out ways.

 

[IllegalContact]

even funnier is today's ESPN power rankings

Packers jump the Patriots in Week 2 Power Rankings

the Packers leapfrogged the Pats by beating the Jags......the Packers were not impressive

LOL.....bunch of morons

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

This is a serious question.
Does anyone here on Patsfans still watch/listen to the pundit morons?
I've avoided all pre-game etc. analyst shows for about a decade.
