Re: How bout them cheatroits
I have no love for the pats.
Karma had one more payback blow for Bill Belichick and the Patriots. As if having a perfect season spoiled with a loss in the last Super Bowl and losing MVP quarterback Tom Brady to a season-ending knee injury less than eight minutes into this season were not enough to punish the Patriots for their videotaping scandal of last year, missing the playoffs after posting an 11-5 record should square everything. New England is the first 11-win team to miss the playoffs since the current 12-team format was instituted in 1990. Without Brady, the Patriots quickly fell from elite status and lost to the Colts, Chargers and Steelers. But with Matt Cassel learning on the job and Belichick producing one of his best coaching seasons, they valiantly fought to save their season. In one sense, it doesn't seem fair. The Chargers (8-8), Cardinals (9-7) and Eagles (9-6-1) are all in the playoffs. New England must settle for being the best team not playing in January.
Re: How bout them cheatroits
I am definitely glad they are not in the playoffs. It was all I had left to root for on the last Sunday of the season, and it's no fun rooting against a team, but in their case, I make an exception.
All I wanted for Christmas was a Miami win and a Baltimore win.
....that of course because there was no chance in h$ll that the Bills could actually beat the NE Patriots.
I hate to say it, but I think they would have gone deep in the playoffs, I mean, they find a way to win, even if it is by cheating.
Karma is a B!^#%.
