Read Post # 519 -- NFL Divisional Playoffs thread

[SP33Demon]

Truthfully, I think there is such a pervasive dislike of the Patriots on this forum, and honestly a lot of places that a couple of these "Patriots fans", just want to fit in here. That's not me. Whether the "other fans" on this forum turn on me really means little to me. They are such a sliver of the Patriot fan base. I also have passionate discussions with a lot of my friends who are Pats fans. Why should we always agree? Like everything, it's not homogeneous.

Honestly, if someone wants to bring up some football argument I made or fact I brought up and question it; let's hear it; it's a football discussion. But it seems like that's not the case. It seems like a lot more interest in personal one liners.

And Sp33Demon, glad to see you came back.

You're welcome. It was fun trolling you for awhile since you didn't even know why your QB was so good this year. And I made you admit BB's system and receivers were a large part of why Brady and Cassel in the past were successful. Brady has really transcended his previous system/receiver years in 2015. We are seeing him at his best this year, last year he was good but this year he's been better. Edelman didn't have a great day from the rust and still caught 10/100yds. I doubt Denver will be able to contain him and Gronk even though Denver is a tough place to win.

On a sidenote I'm set to take more people's money since I correctly picked the 3 highest scoring teams last weekend (NE, CAR/SEA predictable shootout). This week I can either go NE/CAR (winners) or pick AZ to beat NE's winning score. It's a tough call since CAR induces shootouts with its no huddle at home. I'm going to have to do more analysis later in the week.

I didn't mind the discussion.

You may think I'm a Brady fanboi, but I used to have heated discussions with my friends saying I'd take Manning over Brady, since Brady is a system quarterback. But that 2007 season made me a believer. After he finally got a top tier receiver(Moss), he lit things up. So Brady is a great QB, but it is undeniable that some of that has to do with him being able to grow in Belichick's system and Belichick's system itself.

Congrats with the money. That Car/AZ game is unpredictable. Good luck with that.

Sounds like a hater. The challenged calls were both correct. Only call that was missed was one delay of game that should've been called.

Sorry, there was more. Horse collar on the first drive not called. Not that it mattered. They wouldn't even had made the playoffs if not for given calls. Such as the "unintentional tap" knocking the ball out of the end zone. Obviously a terrible call, and wrong. Giving them the game.

I really wanted them to win the SB vs the Steelers. Not a hater of the team, just of the bandwagon fans. They were nowhere to be found 5, 6 or 7 years ago. Now all the sudden after getting good, they come out of the woodwork. But I'll stop going on about it.

Some REALLY good games. I didn't get to watch them all as we got a cabin in the mountains for the weekend, no DVR. But watched most and NFL network replayed them. GB game was crazy, and glad that AZ won.

Wouldn't mind seeing Manning win one and be done. But I also really want to see Palmer win and Fitz. Then again.. wouldn't mind Carolina winning either. Anyone but the damn Pats, they've won too many. Need someone fresh to win, otherwise gets boring.

So the only true fans are Browns and Titans fans claiming they will win the Super Bowl every year? Unless your team is doing well you cant really say sh*t. lol
