Gotta admit other than checking the results in the regular reason, only start watching again once it gets near to the play offs. Perhaps should follow the season right through, it’s cracking entertainment!! Recall there was huge controversy over a purposely deflated ball?? but what other misdemeanours have the Pats been involved in to make them so unpopular in many quarters and to label them as cheats?

Genuine question for the uninitiated? Cheers Rab Deflategate, spygate and the tuck rule (or Brady rule) are the big ones. They also seem to get very favourable calls from refs, this year in particular. Anyone see the whole Tom v Time advert? The hubris makes me want to kill myself.

Even the list of offences is not accurate. Deflategate was colts cheating nothing to do with the patriots. Spygate was patriots and found to have broken the rules. Jets had their own spygate which was reviewed by the league with no action taken and yet this is an offence. It is literally made up. Entertaining it may be, accurate it isn't.

invergowrie arab Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Deflate gate was a lot of shite, spygate was what everyone else was doing but Pats stupid enough to get caught tuck rule was a million years ago and why anyone thinks the refs would cheat to help out a rookie backup QB in an unfashionable team is anyone's guess. There is obviously more focus on big plays in Patriots games because no one cares if the Jets have fumbled at midfield again against the Bills. People tend to be myopic about what bad calls they see eg focusing on blowing dead the fumble recovery in the AFC championship game rather on focusing on fact it wasn't a fumble. Having put all that to bed we can all link arms, lace daisy's in each others hair and get behind the Rest of the World's team making yet more history.

scot-gcar709 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Oh yeah , cos clearing "deflating" those footballs was making a huge difference to the team and Brady, Its not like we've subsequently gone on to 2 more superbowls since that season. But sure don't let that stop people complaining about the pats being cheats if that helps you make peace with your own teams being shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRob72 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Typical Patriots c**t. Don’t recall em being much of a side in the 80’s, would it be preferable to follow the current Browns side? A typical P&B post.[emoji849] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us (25 years FFS) came to accept a long time ago how bad or good "our" team is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
