How silly would it be to do a 4 team moneyline parlay on the dogs?

20$ pays out $3,382?

Nice, what's the line for 3 dogs (excluding TEN)?

So you guys hating the Pats for what reason this year?

Oh, for me it's these reasons:

The cheating (binoculars-gate, inflate-gate)

The cozying up to Trump (Belichick and Brady, so I heard.)

The name of the team - yeah, true patriotism is a great thing but in most contexts in the USA these days it's jingoism and a cover for dark money, i.e. corporate greed.

I was disgusted by their comeback in last year's Super Bowl. I was rooting for the Falcons. Kyle Shanahan blew it when he had Ryan drop back and attempt a pass instead of going for a very makeable field goal that would have put the game out of reach. Ryan was sacked, putting them out of field goal range. The whole affair sickened me. The second I saw the Pats win was inevitable I turned off the TV and erased my DVR session.

Kelce getting a concussion definitely hurt KC a lot.

It was absolutely the turning point and the commentator on TV said at one point that it was their intention to knock out Kelce. It didn't even draw a flag. I was disgusted.

I think the only reason is your sick of them winning and I get that, the lame excuses you list are laughable though. Anyways, Fowles has yet to complete a pass today but has benefited from 63yrds in PI calls, Falcon's 3 Eagles 0 1st Qtr.

 

[zerocool84]

Haha Falcons screw you

I am not an Eagles fan nor have I ever lived anywhere but California. They beat the Rams last week so I was rooting for them to lose.

 

[Chaotic42]

Not a great result, but both teams looked pretty bad. Both teams are in the "evil teams" category anyway, so no big loss.

 

[mztykal]

Would rather watch the eagles than the blow a lead falcons any day.

<—- Seahawks fan.

Like usual, you display your ignorance and stupidity. You're a 49ers fan, right? Jerry Rice played with stickem which was illegal, cheater. And everybody tries to steal signals - Shanahan, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Cowher, etc. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014...dy-tried-to-steal-signals-not-just-belichick/

Deflated footballs? You mean the how the Panthers were caught heating up footballs in the middle of the game but the NFL did nothing? Giants catch the Steelers with deflated footballs last year but NFL does nothing? How a couple of the Indy balls in that same game against New England were deflated but nothing?

Stop watching football b/c you have no clue what you're watching.

Grats to the Iggles...nice game. Started out like, "Ah fuck, Falcons gonna walk away with this," soon turned into, "Wow...the Iggles might actually have a chance!" After the half, it was all Iggles.

We gonna have us an All-PA Super Bowl?

Stairway to Seven!

 

[emperus]

Tennessee had the worst coaching sequence before the half that I think I've ever seen.

We'll have to see how Brown's injury hold's up in tomorrows game, I find it almost beyond belief the arrogance on display by some of the Steeler's dissing Jax, I still think the win but why give any team as physical as Jax extra motivation. The idea is to arrive in NE intact and beat the Pats.

 

[emperus]

Romo is reflexively anti-Pats. And worse of all he's always claiming some bias for them.

 

[herrjimbo]

How the hell did the Titans make it this far and be losing this badly?

 

[BarkingGhostar]

How the hell did the Titans make it this far and be losing this badly?

They are claiming NE is cheating by influencing the weather and making it too cold for them.

 

[BUTCH1]

Thing is, what the Pats do best is adjust to what you are doing on both offense and defense, they are also very tough to beat at home.

 

[emperus]

Should have lost last week. I wanted them to win. I'm torn now, the Chiefs would have been a better game.. but we move on.

 

[herrjimbo]

Ya, I agree with all of you. Pretty much was just a hypothetical question.

Reminds me of the year the Queens went all out and won every single regular season game and to this day, are ringless.

 

[preCRT]

Cold? Warm & toasty over in Foxboro/Walpole, 18.7º

 

[13Gigatons]

Tom Brady owns you !!!!!!!

The Blitz for six !!!!!

just kidding...

I was being facetious.

It was absolutely the turning point and the commentator on TV said at one point that it was their intention to knock out Kelce. It didn't even draw a flag. I was disgusted.

He didn't say that their intention was to take out Kelce physically. He said that the gameplan was to take out Kelce by making him irrelevant: focus on him, keep the ball away from him, and make them beat you with someone else. I know what you're referring to, because I recall that comment as well and it certainly sounded that way (this was Collinsworth, I believe), but that isn't what he meant to imply.

I mean, just think about it: Titans DC goes up to Collinsworth pre-game: "Yeah, so we're going to target Kelce until he gets a concussion or breaks a knee or something. We need him out of this game to have a chance!" For Collinsworth to imply this by what he said would mean that he had actually been told this is what TN wanted to do.

I just hate that utterly lucky POS Brady. Obviously he is great and exceedingly skilled, but I don't think he would be nearly as great on most other teams--obviously a good system in any situation is good because of lots of positive feedback, but as I've also come more to accepting that Brady really is good, I think it remains the case that Bellichick really is that much better. Brady's career essentially started with "the tuck" and for anyone that isn't a homer from the beginning, that reputation just sticks with you and is going to be reinforced more by events that support it rather than destroyed by all of the other counter evidence. It's just how it is....

I like Bellichick, I think he's the right kind of shady and "I don't give a shit" attitude. I like that people bitch about the way he wins. You just have to beat him is all.

One of the things (non football) that grates on me about Brady is that he really is a human piece of shit. Proud homophobe, proud Trump guy, and just the absolute personification of idiot jock that everyone knew growing up. This insistence that he is some kind of "American Dream" story is utter shit: "Oh, but he was drafted so late...and look at him now!" Ummm...that, right, there: he was fucking drafted into the NFL! fucking cry me a river, Francis. You're talking a 0.05% human is some kind of come-from-behind dream story? yeah, fuck off.

The guy was only ever and has only ever been the supreme dickhead jock everywhere he went in life: premadonna in San Mateo, on to Michigan, then a "poor, woe is me has-been" that was barely drafted. please. The guy hasn't known a day in his life where he wasn't the king of his castle and money, fame, worship, and broads weren't handed to him on a silver platter. not once!
