This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.
This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.
If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
How are they "overrated"? Nobody is suggesting they're among the greatest teams of all time. They are 14-0 with one of the best offenses (statistically) and one of the best defenses (statistically) in the NFL.
I mean, I'd be happy to get them too, because it means the Patriots are once again in the Super Bowl. But that would not be an easy game for the Pats. At all.
An undefeated Panthers team with the NFL MVP (Newton) playing the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots (with 3-time Super Bowl MVP Brady) in Super Bowl 50 would be just an unbelievable story with the greatest hype you've ever seen.
You do realize we played the NFC east and AFC south. They Were the number one south ranked team and therefore played Packers, C Hawks and Dallas with a fit Romo.

That's just salivating, not only as a Patriots fan, but as a football fan in general.
Add in the fact that Brady has a chance to come back home, to the stadium belonging to his hometown/childhood team, to possibly eclipse the hometown hero Montana (and Bradshaw) and cement his legacy as the undisputed GOAT.

Yeah, sure go eat up the media narrative about how great they are. I dont care what it says about us, it doesn't change that compared to teams like Arizona the Panthers had an easy schedule.
Ugh, come on now take of the Patriots glasses ok. I watched the reply, 82 extended his arms, it's clear. I'm not arguing with you about it anymore. Whatever.
Rule 8, Section 5 deals with Pass Interference. The applicable Articles would be Article 1 and 4
ARTICLE 1. DEFINITION. It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player’s opportunity to catch the ball. Pass interference can only occur when a forward pass is thrown from behind the line of scrimmage, regardless of whether the pass is legal or illegal, or whether it crosses the line.
ARTICLE 4. OTHER PROHIBITED ACTS BY THE OFFENSE. Blocking more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage by an offensive player prior to a pass being thrown is offensive pass interference.
Note: It is also pass interference by the offense to block a defender beyond the line while the pass is in the air, if the block occurs in the vicinity of the player to whom the pass is thrown.
In both cases, the instance is 1 yard beyond the LOS. The PICTURE clearly shows that Martin was NOT 1 yard beyond the LOS. This should finish the discussion with the fact that the wrong call was made by the Refs since Martin was within 1 yard of the LOS.
The Patriots also played the AFC South and the NFC East. And the AFC East isn't much better than the NFC South. Right now, as I type, the non-Panthers NFC South have a record of 18-23. The non-Patriots AFC East have a record of 20-21. I mean, that's pretty close.
