    Pats and the under tonight was an absolute lock. There's not a coach on the planet who relishes getting his team ready for adversity like this more than Belichek. What a performance.

    And it's yet another giant F U to Goodell and the NFL. Good stuff...

    I don't get why Goodell would care that they won? It's not like he hates the Pats. I'm sure he would rather Brady play.

    I'm sure if the Patriots were as lousy as they were in the 70's that little factoid wouldn't matter to you one damn bit. He would be of no interest to the media and you if that was the case.

    The Pats actually had some very good years from 76-79 with Chuck Fairbanks that I don't think 95% of their fans know about.

    So I assume we can all agree that Brady is a trash QB and its all coaching?

    Did the Pats play that great or did Houston just look that bad.

    You know why. He perpetuated the dumbest sports controversy ever and they defied him for a full year. Now they're 3-0 during their "punishment." I think it's great.




    By the way--how great is the new kickoff rule? It's encouraging shorter kicks because teams are afraid of handing the other team the ball at the 25.

    Not a trash QB. Very good QB, one of the best ever, but I think this settles the Manning / Brady debate. Manning was the central nervous system for his teams. Brady is a component of the central nervous system.

    Also, fuck Houston and fuck JJ Watt.

    agree. they put in the first rule because they were concerned about injuries on kickoffs to get more touchbacks. now they change it again to get more returns. should have left well enough alone.

    Well I'm not part of that 95% I know of their successes in the 70's it wasn't too difficult to get a ticket to get to Astro turfed Schaefer Stadium.
    With the likes of Sam *the bam* Cunningham, Grogan, Plunkett and others they were to me fun to watch the few times they won. The Celtics and the Bruins picked up the slack very nicely back then. Today all four has had their successes.

    JJ Watt is going to join AP, Barry Sanders, and Megatron as once in a lifetime players that wasted their careers playing for dipshit teams.

    (I hope Andrew Luck doesn't join the list! Current management suggest so ... :worried: )

    So, does anyone know what the pre-game, game ball protocol is and how it's changed since deflate-gate? What rule changes have there been? Any records being kept? Any pre/post game checks? Mandatory for all games or only if there's a "suspicion" of irregularity? Therein lies the answer to preserving the "integrety" of the game that Brady's suspension hinged on. And the Pats are 3-0 by the way.

    I don't think they need to change the game ball protocol after seeing Brady go through one of the dumbest and funniest cheating scandals of all time.

    All that matters is the Patriots are playing well without one their best players. All the arguments have been made and well documented and you can call the team anything you want, it won't change how well they're playing so far this year.
