Of course they’re not losing games to make teams overconfident. But I do think history shows people underrating the Patriots when they’re not playing well, and then they tend to prove doubters wrong.
I don’t think they’ll have to go on the road in the playoffs. And if they do,it’ll be against a team let by a young QB and a coach who has a tendency to shit the bed in the playoffs
Where the hell you been Bar? Haven't seen you here or across any street lately. Maybe not looking hard enough.
The KR-driven ferris wheel of fun is as fun as ever. Of course one's version of fun can be quite different than another's.
And this Patriot thing isn't really a strong take. I think most people outside of New England can see that this year is different. I would be very surprised if they make it to the big game this year. This team just isn't the same.
I am 99% retired from forumville....only poking in over past month to snarkily smirk at the wheels coming off trumpco
Yah, Pats lack of any legit rushing game puts it all on brady and bill's D....a bit like Peyton's last year in Denver but the Broncs had more D and a very legit rush game.
I think the Chargers or Texans shove thru, especially if they get first round bye.
The stupidity of this thread is beyond comprehension.....D Devil just say how much you hate Brady and the Pats and let it go, are you that stupid you think the Pats reign was forever? Any fan of the Pats who know anything about them know their on the decline.....god i hate stupid people......
Hahahaha, no, it's not over, not just yet
It's obvious you're punch drunk, gloating because a team is 9-5 and will finish 11-5.
We need people to hate them, how else can they achieve 60% ATS during the best run in NFL history.
I'm not one who worries about the little stuff like losing a game or even 5 games, I enjoy the ride and my eyes are always focused on the big prize.
They're in the mix, yet again, that's all a fan really wants. Can't completely dominate every year

As a Boston fan all around, the last 15+ years have been fucking incredible. I don't care if any of the teams ever win again in my lifetime, I'm happy.
Does that answer your question? Of course you were just trolling and looking for reactions, we know that.
Patriots: 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016
Red Sox: 2004, 2007, 2013, 2018
Celtics: 2008
Bruins: 2010-11
Boston fans have been incredibly spoiled the past 15 years. No doubt.
It's weird to look at the Pats run and see that they had 10 years between Super Bowl wins. It doesn't seem like it was that long. Still one of the greatest runs in not only NFL history, but sports history. Especially if you consider the day and age we live in with free agency and parity.
Don't you live in Texas? Why do you root for Boston teams? Originally from there?
This is pretty amazing. What's even more amazing is that Brady went 10 years without a SB win. O/c, the bottom line is basically every year they have a shot to win it all, but the fact of going 10 years without a ring.... just shows you how tough the NFL is even with probably the best dynasty ever.
I'd have to say the end is near. Not b/c of being a hater and such, but it's just a question of time. It's like Federer. He does not have 4 more years in his body to be at the top level. They've gone well beyond any normal expectation. So the time is near the end for both Brady and Federer.... that's just biology. Probably 4 more years max for each.
However, can Bellicheck work his magic after Brady? That is the real question. No matter how great he is, in the NFL you've got to have a very good QB. If he can get a pro bowl level QB..... maybe Bellicheck can keep winning until he's 200 years old.
