Injuries, injuries, injuries.

Once we got everyone healthy, together, the train couldn't be stopped.

I don't think you could get any more wrong than you are.

I, and most other people, hate the Pats because of all the shit they're allowed to get away with for the simple fact that their name alone makes the NFL money.

Name another team that has been allowed to pull a snow blower out to clear an area to kick a field goal. Name another team that cried enough to have a rule created to overturn an obvious fumble to allow you to go on to have a chance to kick aforementioned field goal off of a freshly plowed area. Name another team that wins 3 superbowls by only 3 points each and then dumps every player from their team besides their "allstar" QB. Name another team whos entire offensive gameplan is quickslants, 7 yard buttons and screen passes. Name another team that talks as much shit as the Pats when the cameras are off but act like gods grace with it on them, then show their colors when they lose. Name another team whos QB is allowed to badmouth a ref and spike the ball at his feet because hes upset with a call.

And if youre willing to dump two historic franchises to bandwagon the Pats because they play in a weak conference and get a free ride to the playoffs every year just to feel good about yourself, then you're exactly like every other pats fan ive ever met. And as soon as Brady retires in the next 3-5 years i wont waste any time trying to find you or all the other Pats "fans" that mysteriously disappear as fast as they appeared.

Jeez, dude, we just lost, and you're still more upset about the Pats than most people from NE are.

Everybody hates teams that win, I guess (yes, we lost yesterday, but I think you can safely argue that the Pats are the most successful franchise since 2000).

edit: also 90% of what you said is either complete bullshit (they're the only team that talks shit? really?), makes no sense at all (they cried to have a rule made in the middle of the game? what?), or is just pure bitchiness (yes, they use short passes, what is wrong with that)

Hes saying they are only team that talks so much but when camera is on they act like perfect angels which is true I guess. Also if it werent Brady I would probably say he has a fine coming his way for the kick he did at Ed Reed (not the slide the kick during the slide).

Is anybody else baffled by the disparity in personal foul / unnecessary roughness calls in the Ravens v. Pats game?

Calls on the Ravens:
1) The call on Ray Lewis hitting Aaron Hernandez -- Hernandez caught the ball, turned, and then lowered his head into the hit. I'm not sure how he can still be considered defenseless at that point.
2) Ellerbe called for hitting a guy in the helmet after the play -- this one I mostly agree with, although Ellerbe was getting shoved after the play and the retaliation didn't seem like a bad hit at all.
3) Pollard on Welker -- legitimate call

Non-calls on Patriots:
1) Mayo on Pitta -- he leads with his shoulder, but makes helmet to helmet contact causing Pitta's head to whip backwards as Mayo plants him into the ground. This gets called on Pollard/Lewis/Reed every time, every week. Seriously, sooo many games in the regular season where a Ravens defender leads with his shoulder but b/c it looks so bad in real time the refs call it a personal foul.
2) Ed Reed's fair catch -- a Patriots player made helmet-to-helmet contact with him while he did a fair catch on a punt. Wtf?
3) Before the two minute warning, the Patriots ran a play that "took only 3 seconds". This was blatant fail/cheating by the guy running the clock. Again, wtf?

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, the Ravens still outplayed the Patriots big time and are going to the Super Bowl, which is awesome! But man was I pissed while watching the game.

The only thing that bothered me that the refs did the entire game was when they didnt throw the flag for Brady's slide which was clearly him trying to take out Ed Reed. If the leg up wasnt apparently you can actually see him try to kick him when Ed Reed tries to jump out of the way. In the end the lack of a flag actually cost the Patriots so justice was done in its own way but he needs to be fined for that play.

People go after Brady for his spikes up slide, forgetting he was a baseball player in high school/college. Not surprising to see him use a move like that in an NFL game tbh.
