New England Patriots

[pathetic]

lose sometimes? or lose for the last 5 years?

i can be dumb and play this game too justin. manning had 8 failing seasons before his 1 superbowl ring. what a flash in the pan

[Ascf33]

for the red sox. remember?

Nope. Present > Past. remember?

[DMBstandUP1984]

How many times has Manning won it all ???? I guess there is no way he can be considered the best of all time right?

lets go back 10 years..give Brady 4 MVPS and 1SB and Manning 1MVP and 3SBs I'll agree Brady is better

[DMBstandUP1984]

i can be dumb and play this game too justin. manning had 8 failing seasons before his 1 superbowl ring. what a flash in the pan

yes he did..and now its the Patriots turn...again Pats = Colts

Its a QB league, but teams without attacking Defenses do not win championships...like i said in the Brady/BB thread

Manning has dealt with it for a decade
Marino dealt with it his whole career
Elway didn't win until he got a defense around him
and now its Bradys turn.

[smudge1]

Phil is honestly the worst tailgate poster though. I bet if you looked through his 1000 posts in this forum not one of them is literally about sports. All he does is type shit in teams threads when they lose and type "Win" in the Rays thread when they win. At least we don't have to worry about the latter much this year. Rays will be horrible.

Bruins won :multiI just like to give you shit Ricky.

How about the Lightning?:lol

Want to see my Steven Stamkos bobblehead?:lol

[Ascf33]

Yeah wtf!!! Joba is home grown!!1!!!

We're saying the 96 and 98-00 championships were based on payroll...? Home grown talent had absolutely nothing to do with their success...?

Because that would be fucking retarded.

[rickyh24]

yes he did..and now its the Patriots turn...again Pats = Colts + 2 rings


fixed your dumb math equation

[pathetic]

:lol :lol

[Lee3691]

So then the Lakers are the Yankees of the NBA?


any team that wins multiple titles is now the Yankees of that sport???

Haven't they always been?
Doesn't ever non Laker fan root against them?

Being a fan of Boston sports (and by boston sports i mean the teams that begin their name with Boston) i find myself living in the past also...

fixed that for ya...

[smudge1]

Best team.

[Ascf33]

nope, we're not saying that :lol

again, this is the wrong thread but....

what the fuck does this mean then:

the yankees bought a bunch of players and became dominant because of it...

The Yankees became dominant in 1994. Make the playoffs in 95 as a wild card and then never missed the playoffs until 2008.

[rickyh24]

fixed that for ya...

:lol:lol:lol

[DMBstandUP1984]

my favorite part about the start of every NFL football season...i have 31 horses in that race..well 30 I hate the Eagles

i was talking about the perception of a team. non-yankees fans perceive the yankees as an organization that bought their team the past decade or so (didnt say anything about championships...i guess you assumed i meant the 90's)...the pats have done the complete opposite. they've become hated for winning in a market that's almost impossible to buy the best team

[DMBstandUP1984]

if it makes you feel better I won't pin this loss on Brady or BB

I'll just put it on their inability to videotape the opposing teams anymore.

[seekupig]

any idea when the new Power Rankings come out?

[pathetic]

if it makes you feel better I won't pin this loss on Brady or BB

I'll just put it on their inability to videotape the opposing teams anymore.

and manning hasnt won because he has no more big name receivers. we can do this all day

[rickyh24]

Clark???

wayne is not as great as harrison was. he's good, but not as great. and clark did a whole lot on IR. without receivers peyton will take his usual first round exit

[DMBstandUP1984]

Clark???

Collie???

[rickyh24]

I just assume all your posts are sarcastic. They all seem like they are anyways.

[rickyh24]

Exactly.

lost by two points (which was all on their special teams/d) to a team that just beat the Pats by 7..that the pats beat 3 weeks ago by 43 points.

all facts. congrats

[DMBstandUP1984]

Brady sacked 5 times, 1INT...at home where he is normally flawless.

He was rushing the pass or when he had all day in the pocket he had no one to throw to.

Oh I'm sorry 3 weeks ago it was "BRADY X AMOUNT OF GAMES AT HOME WITHOUT A LOSS..BRADY DOESN'T LOSE AT HOME WOOO,,350SOMETHING PASSES WITHOUT AN INT WOOOOO SUPERBOWL HERE WE GOOOO..TO GET TO THE SUPER BOWL YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH FOXBOROOOOO"

well the Jets did and now they are one game closer to the Super Bowl.

Colts were a 10-6 team with 17 players on the IR that didn't even belong in the playoffs...

[rickyh24]

you said they could blame last nights loss on special teams

and you could. Despite everything else they did wrong that was a pretty key fake punt attempt. Pretty key and dumb which resulted in the jets getting the ball in the red zone and a td right before the half. Did you even watch the game? or are you just translating what you hear on sportshub?

[pathetic]

:lol:lol:lol I'm at the point now where I think I'm just done replying to him. It's just hilarious at this point.

when both sides become repetitive, which happened a few months ago, the debate is meaningless....yet it still continues :lol

I'll just take Mannings 4 MVPs and 52 NFL Records thanks.

Brady said it "we planned for something else than what we got" that comes down to coaching.

[rickyh24]

ok cool. It's settled. Good talk!

[rickyh24]

Brady said it "we planned for something else than what we got" that comes down to coaching.

I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. Yes it does come down to coaching. Regardless that fake punt could have been the difference in the game. I never said the game was well coached. But if you can blame the colts loss on special teams then we can certainly do the same here.

[Crush086]

i dont get what you're going for. are all those not true? pats were the only team all season to go undefeated at home, brady went 350+ without and int. the team went 2 months without a turnover...

that got us all pretty excited for the playoffs. i dont know a fan that wouldnt be excited with those kind of stats...

when else could you have meant? The Yankees became dominant in the 90s.

Being under the influence hampers my kill/death ratio. Can't have that happen now, being such a serious gamer now can I?.

But seriously, no I don't, but my roommate does so I suppose I get second hand sometimes. I never notice a difference though. I don't even get hungry.

like i said twice already. their perception from non-yankees fans. they look at the yankees as buying players. i never said anything about the 90's. after the yankees dynasty of the 90's they became spenders and tried to buy championships. i was saying it's impossible for the pats to be that because of the way free agency and the salary cap are set in the NFL.

[smudge1]

:lol point provenJust answer the question.

2008 was the last ring. A whole 3 years ago :eek

i still have no clue how you're that good at the game. my buddy is on his 6th prestige and has a kdr of 2.75 or something like that and he smokes...i wonder what he'd be like if he didnt smoke.

second hand high :lol :lol

Is there a mode on COD like Gears of War Horde??? I love that mode.

that's like all i played when GOW 2 came out. that horde mode is awesome. i guess the only thing comparable to that is nazi zombies. waves of zombies keep coming after you (up to 4 players) and you need to keep unlocking doors in the building to get away and you can upgrade your guns

yeah, i hate being matched up against guys like that. i typically play with friends so usually there's 8 of us on and we're all in the same game and pretty much all the same skill level so it's fun. i never join a random server with a bunch of people i dont know. that's when i start getting bored..

[kingchrisII]

Is this Chung guy a captain? Why does he have that kind of power?

[DMBstandUP1984]

Is this Chung guy a captain? Why does he have that kind of power?

He was the "up man" on the punt team..its his job to look for something from the return team that they can take advantage of and call the audible.

[rickyh24]

It's also his job to catch the fucking ball :lol

[DMBstandUP1984]

yea. if he called it..and then fumbled it, well then he is just an idiot

[pathetic]

hes been one of my favorite players all year. Dumb call dumb play dumbass

[Ascf33]

Had he caught it though, it was an easy first down. The whole right side was clear.

[DMBstandUP1984]

I have to say i'm loving the fallout over this loss

"belichick guys" questioning his calls...Bill throwing players under the bus this is great

[pathetic]

Had he caught it though, it was an easy first down. The whole right side was clear.

the risk heavily outweighs the reward there.

if the pats do make the conversion they are still 60 yards away from the endzone with 1 time out and a little over a min left on the clock...thats the best case scenario if you make it

if you punt it you give the jets the ball on their own 30/40 with a min left.

they faked and gave up the ball basically in the redzone with a min left.

def not worth it

[pathetic]

doesn't matter he is the coach..the coach shouldn't let his players hang out there to dry and answer questions like that...not to mention it goes against normal patriots protocol

[pathetic]

doesn't matter he is the coach..the coach shouldn't let his players hang out there to dry and answer questions like that...not to mention it goes against normal patriots protocol

not really.

and losing goes against normal pats protocol. lets point out more obvious shots against the pats!!!!

[DMBstandUP1984]

and to think it could have been a lot worse..the INT should have been a pick 6, Sanchez missed about 5 wide open recievers...if he connected and that fat slob that got the pick made it to the end zone..it would have been like the Dec game reversed.

Face it Jets are the best team in the AFC east over the last few years...two trips to the AFC Championship game and 3-2 against the Pats over the last two years...the Dolphins/Bills would be smart to pony up on some elite pass rushers clearly once you start knocking around Brady he gets rattled...Jets were only rushing 3-4 guys and when they didn't rush anyone he was getting freaked out by phantom rushes..he looked like Bledsoe in the pocket just standing there patting the ball waiting for something to happen.

[DMBstandUP1984]

Haven't you heard???....The Pats are 16-3 since 2002 in the playoffs. Losing in the playoffs is their protocol. I is smart!!!!

[pathetic]

Manning 9-10 career playoff record

[gripes81]

It amazees me how players make such dumb decisions in spots like that, like you said even if he gets the first down there is only a minute left so the reward doesn't out weigh the risk. I have to say the dumb ass move of the playoffs was the colt who rran into the punter at the end of the game, granted we still scored you can't makemental mistakes like that and the one chung made in the playoffs. I'm really surprised bill would give anyone on his team that kind of power

[pathetic]

this defense is being built from the ground up by BB. i think he wants to have people for years in the system that he can trust. chung is one of them

[rickyh24]

It was a dumb idea either way. Like Gripes said. Just punt the fucking ball and go in down by less than a td. You need to be smarter than that.

i can't remember the Jets playing breaking through the line but there was a complete hold put on him by the Pats player..he was like pulling his jersey from behind trying to pull him back.

I see Justin is still spewing shit out of his mouth this morning that makes no sense. All is normal in the world.


how does it not make sense..in the past 3 seasons New England is 3-4 versus the Jets...0-2 streak in postseason home starts..last four years 2-3 in the post season. 2008 didnt make the playoffs and don't give me 11-5 shit..beat the Chargers that year and you make it...2006 lost to the Colts in what ended up being the biggest AFC championship comeback. 2005 lost in the divisional playoffs to the Broncos....28 - 0 at home? who gives a shit..16-0 regular season..kind of doesn't matter when you lost the super bowl.

Yea they are a beast in the AFC.

and i'm still not sure what the Colts or Peyton Manning has to do with the Pats getting kicked out of the playoffs two years in a row at home?

[rickyh24]

how does it not make sense..

This has really already been answered. It's not worth discussing shit like this with you. You are ridiculous when it comes to talking about this team.

[rickyh24]

Haven't you heard???....The Pats are 16-3 since 2002 in the playoffs. Losing in the playoffs is their protocol. I is smart!!!!

........

[rickyh24]

it's funny that you dig for these stats because the way i see it is that the pats are a rebuilt/young defense with a different offense. they have the right guy at qb and the perfect head coach. i wouldnt be suprised if this team makes a couple more superbowl appearances before brady finally hangs it up.

throw up the colts stats with peyton in the playoffs. they've won 1 title since he's been there in 98. quite dominant for someone with all the regular season stats anyone could ever ask for.

oh and your boy sanchez is 4-1 in the playoffs but about to be 0-2 in AFC Championship games

[rickyh24]

I don't even know why you bother. It's not worth it. :lol

[hbktonyb]

As good as the Patriots have been, you can't deny the fact that they got beat as a 14 point favorite in the Super Bowl against the Giants, got smoked as a home favorite against Baltimore, and got handled by the Jets at home as a 9.5 point favorite. They are not the same team they were pre-07. I'll leave out the 11-5 year, they lost their best player.

None of this means losing in the playoffs is now their "protocol". It's 3 losses. You can't discount the 16 before that they had in a row. If Brady and Bill were gone yeah then you probably could. But they are not.

and I'm not even sure why the 11-5 season is even being mentioned.

[pathetic]

Do you guys think you're pointing something out that hasnt been mentioned before or something? :lol no shit the pats arent the dynasty they were 01-04. they still are a favorite to win the superbowl year in and year out.

I'm not having fun with the past. I would still love for the Pats to be playing next week. Still doesn't change the fact that if the Jets come up empty again this all means nothing. It's a playoff win enjoy it. I would be too.

Eh.....It's all the same. When you're out you're out.

[hbktonyb]

Wouldn't say it is their protocol, but once you start losing these huge games 3 years in a row, especially when you are 18-0, a huge favorite, and playing at home, people are going to start questioning if this team still has it when it comes to the postseason.

We did do something, we beat a 14-2 Pats team convincingly after a disaster of a game 6 weeks earlier, and we advanced to the AFC championship game. Win or lose, we did a lot more than your team did this year.

i'm pretty confident that brady and BB will have this team looking 10x better next season. the defense will be a monster in 2 years and we have 3 out of the first 34 picks in the draft.

[CrashDMB237]

It makes ONE person on Ants happy and we Jet fans are not speaking his name for fear of association. Well, it makes me happy, but it doesn't erase not winning a title if that's how it ends up.

im glad fans of other teams are paying such close attention to the pats. us pats fans arent worried one bit. come august/september it'll be back to business as usual. beat the jets, beat peyton, win the division, make the playoffs. save this "3 straight playoff losses" until the pats are back in the #1 seed next season

Love the Bruins...Been a cowboys fan since I could talk...Was A Manning fan when he was in college and just followed him to the pros.

When it comes to the NFL I can pretty much find something I like about every team...every team thats not the Eagles. I used to like Ty Law, I like Hernandez and McCourty now though.

[pathetic]

it was the Brady > Manning logic

when?

and when is rodgers in the same class as brady? when you compare 2 qb's that are in the same class it can come down to rings and playoff records...Rodgers is great, but he is still far from being what manning/brady are...

[dmbgodagirl41]

Explain please.

Well, I'm not really an NBA expert or anything, but I dunno, it just doesn't seem the same. One thing that's just surface is the lack of calls during a game for things like double dribbling or travelling. I once saw Queen James bounce the ball at the half court and then not again until right before he took a shot right by the basket.

If Jordan played now or had the same leniency in terms of that shit when he played...holy hell, he'd be ridiculous.

Could just be me, though. I only watch the Celtics/really give a shit once the playoffs come. I don't watch much or pay attention otherwise, so I'm not really an expert.

You and I just don't see eye to eye do we?

Eh, probably not. But that's okay, since I'm smart. :D

[CrashDMB237]

The difference between 1993 and 2011 is the talent level and athleticism of the players. This is the one time you can hate the player and not the game. You think the 94 Knicks would stand a single chance against the 2011 Thunder? And the 94 Knicks go down as one of the better defensive teams to ever even make the Finals.

[seekupig]

Fair enough but just because some people "can't stand it" That does not necessarily mean it has gone downhill.

it's different now. not necessarily worse, but i've lost interest over the years. it feels like an entertainment show with a basketball game thrown in. too much unnecessary yapping from the P.A. announcer, etc..

Traveling has always been missed occasionally. NBA players do not double dribble. If they do it gets called. They might commit a carry every now and then but that even usually gets called.

first bold: exaggeration

second bold: of course they have tightened up the game. There is nothing wrong with that. Jordan would definitley score more points under today's rules.

[rickyh24]

Second, Yeah, you're probably right, but I dunno, it just seems "different". Again, I'm not a huge NBA fan, so I really can't pin-point it, but the game just seems more sissy now. People are taking fake falls and crying and all that crap. The Celtics of the 80s and the Celtics of now are different somehow. Mainly, the lack of white guys. (n/r)

not really, no. i'm not knocking the NBA, just saying it's not my thing anymore. i'll tune in during the playoffs occasionally but rarely make it through an entire game. i'd watch a college basketball game any day over an NBA game, but that's just personal preference.

Same kind of stuff is done in the NFL and MLB and not every NBA franchise does these things. The other sports just don't use a PA announcer they use a Fog Horn, Jumbotron, etc. With the exception being the music but not every NBA arena does that.

:lol Maroney!!

[rickyh24]

Reports are Maroney attempted to flea the scene but all he could do was indecisively stutter step until the police brought him down.

So many arguments that Yankees fans try to explain to Red Sox fans that are immediately discounted and discouraged are being used for the Patriots in here. It's amazing.

such as what? btw they are two different sports that are run differently

[Ascf33]

Haven't you heard???....The Pats are 16-3 since 2002 in the playoffs. Losing in the playoffs is their protocol. I is smart!!!!



None of this means losing in the playoffs is now their "protocol". It's 3 losses. You can't discount the 16 before that they had in a row. If Brady and Bill were gone yeah then you probably could. But they are not.

and I'm not even sure why the 11-5 season is even being mentioned.

Do you guys think you're pointing something out that hasnt been mentioned before or something? :lol no shit the pats arent the dynasty they were 01-04. they still are a favorite to win the superbowl year in and year out.

the three that stand out the most.

[Ascf33]

...and look, I know you think I am a retarded person and all... but I know baseball and football are two different sports and are run differently.

[TempHelpNeeded]

Would someone please cut Maroney?!

[DMBstandUP1984]

Do you think 2011 is the year Boston goes back to a baseball town?

[TempHelpNeeded]

We've always been a baseball town. Disputing that would be ridiculous. We are merely viewed a football town now because of the constant success of the Patriots. Don't get me wrong the Red Sox do well, but just not as consistently as the Patriots. So with the success of the Patriots, the media exports them like it's no one's business.

What are you talking about??? Look at the reason I posted what I did then get back to us.

[rickyh24]

No. I think it will continue to be a 4 sport town.

[rickyh24]

and I only make fun of Yankee fans with comments like "Da Pastzz!!1!!" When they bring the Championships the Yankees won in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's into an argument. Example 27 > 7. I couldn't care less about any of those titles except the last 5. When someone says losing in the playoffs is now the Pats protocol or something dumb along those lines I think bringing the post season record in the Brady/Hoodie era is totally relevant. We are not bringing up shit from almost a hundred years ago in this thread. It is all from this decade.

[DMBstandUP1984]

No. I think it will continue to be a 4 sport town.

we've been a baseball town up until a few years ago..even the first Pats super bowl was over shadowed by A-Rod maybe coming here...the ratings always favored the Sox until recently also

Oh that's right I forgot whatever sport gets the best tv ratings is what kind of sport town that town is :lol

ugh never mind you're impossible

[rickyh24]

ugh never mind you're impossible

:multi:multi

[rickyh24]

I guess to answer your question correctly. Yes the Sox will get the most attention this coming year for obvious reasons but all three other sports will still be very relevant. They always will be.

[Tiduwho]

I heard this team lost or something.

[hbktonyb]

So how many more years in a row as a non-champion do the Pats have before it is looked at as Pat protocol?

:lol Give me a break. How is anyone supposed to know this?? I guess look at it however you want I really don't care. There is no reason to be worried about this franchise right now despite this loss things are looking fine for the next 3-5 years.

How will you look at the Jets if they lose to Pitt? How many years in a row will that be as a "non-champion"??????

[rickyh24]

Solid contribution.

They will still be good, but the Jets future looks very bright as well, especially if Sanchez keeps improving like he is. Kid is still 22 years old.

If the Jets lose to Pitt, I will look at the Jets like I always do when they make the playoffs.

[rickyh24]

But chocking before the big one would still have to be their "protocol" right?

[hbktonyb]

Not really, we aren't in this position often enough.

[rickyh24]

Not really, we aren't in this position often enough.

So the Patriots who have lost 3 straight playoff games in 4 years but before that won 16 straight playoff games are turning into a team that has a protocol of losing in the playoffs????


but the NY Jets who have been in the Playoffs and lost 5 times since 2002 have no protocol of losing before the big game??? If it happens this year it would be the 6th time since 2002 they lose before the Superbowl.

Yup. You're not bias at all.

[hbktonyb]

Its completely different. The Pats are like the Yankees. Yanks won in 96, 98, 99, 00, and made it in 01 and 03. Then, they went through a playoff drought, only to win again in 2009, making in 5 championships in a span of 13 years, pretty unbelievable. But everybody said that the Yankees protocol was to lose in the playoffs. A couple more years of losing, and they will get the same treatment. They had so much success that losing the last 3 that they did, when they are heavily favored, is going to make people question if the team will do it again.

Now, in all likelihood, they will. But you can't compare the Jets postseason failures to the Pats. unfortunately for us, we never won anything and have no success!

Just giving him a taste of him own medicine.

[rickyh24]

Brady having foot surgery as early as this week. Looks like no pro bowl for him :lol surprise there.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Does Brady usually go to the Pro Bowl? I always thought he was too busy posing for GQ or fluffing his hair.

Fuck you, Gisele.
