    I dislike Brady, Belichick, and Patriots, but I have to give the devil their due. The Patriots are probably the best run franchise in the NFL, if not all of professional sports.

      What do you think is the basis of your dislike?

        Im not much into NFL, I watch it occasionally to see ex Cats play. Only reason I want the Patriots to win is cause they work hard all season long and when they set out to do a job they get it done. It would be nice on the other hand to see an ex Cat win a Super Bowl and Ring.

          If Tamme wasn't out with an injury, I would definitely be looking forward to watching the game and rooting for the Falcons.

            Well ......

            1) I'm a fan of both the Colts and the Ravens, and Patriots have stymied their playoff hopes more other than not.

            2) They have cheated when they don't have to cheat to win.

            3) The attitude and culture of their organization.


            I do give them huge props for player scouting and development, roster management, etc. You can't have the sustained success they've had without doing something right.

                I don't like them because they are not my team and they win a lot. Go Bungles and Go Pack Go!

                  I'm not a fan of Pro sports, and watch very few partial games. I will at least keep up with the score, and will only watch the entire World Series if my Cardinals are playing.

                    I was a St.Louis Cardinal football fan when Air Coryell came out. My favorite Sunday teams were Jim Hart, Dan Dierdorf and the Cards and whoever was playing against Staubach and the Cowboys.
                    lol...I had a lotta unhappy Sundays.

                    Gotta say I admire what the Pats organization has accomplished. Used to be Brady vs Manning......Peyton finally showed his age, and Brady must be related to Dorian Gray.
                    I thought the deflategate deal was bogus....especially since Brady threw for MORE yards and TDs after the ball was.....fixed. I would kind of like to see Kraft get the trophy handed to him by the commissioner.....it would equal Rozelle handing All!Davis that trophy years ago.

                      Brady's biggest asset contributing to longevity is he knows how to fall when he needs to fall. He's adept at avoiding hits - big and small. He doesn't have the ego that requires him to stand in the pocket and get hammered or get hammered on the run. That sort of wuppin' over a career tends to shorten it.

                          New England can thank me. I went to bed when it got to 28-3 Atlanta. I was dozing off in my chair and my wife said why don't you just go to bed. I said I might as well this ain't much of a game. Shocked! Shocked! to see New England had come back to win. Of course I shouldn't be. Brady is an unbelievable QB. You would have to think he would be considered the best or very near the best of all time now. Really unbelievable run NE has had over the last 15 years or so. In an era where the NFL wants everyone to go 8-8 they have stood apart from everyone else. I wonder if Brady and maybe Belichick will hang it up after last night. You really couldn't eve top that!

                            I only cheered for the Falcons so Jacob Tamme could finally get a Super Bowl ring.....looks like after 3 times he will have to keep waiting

                              Falcons defense ran outta gas. Brady pressured 6 times in most of the second half compared to 15 or so times in the first half and early 3rd quarter.

                                The game seemed reminiscent of some KY meltdowns I have seen...
