by the media and fans of every other team in the league. When the Bills clobbered them to open up a season a few years ago. Video-taping sideline signals,deflate-gate, etc. And what does it all amount to? Pats keep winning and winning and going to the Super Bowl.
I'll believe it's the end when Brady walks off the field for the last time. Or Bellichek retires.
Now they're an imploding mass of doubt after trading away the greatest backup quarterback in the history of the league - oh how they will rue the day!. We'll see. I'm skeptical. Garrapalo has some talent but the 49'ers haven't won anything yet. I also think he has durability concerns as he missed some time in a couple of preseasons after taking hits. Maybe I'm mis-remembering.
And Brady - the shaky fragile shell that he's become? Umm pretty sure he's one of the top ranked QB's in the league this year and oh yeah the team has home field throughout the playoffs.
I swear, sometimes I think the Patriots concoct or play this stuff up to give themselves the underdog mentality and a reason to keep winning it all - year, after year. God I hate them.
