I’m So Sick And Tired Of Pats Fans Whining About Losing The Bye Week
If I hear another person today make it sound like the Pats just lost all chance at the Sueprbowl because we lost the bye week or how they can’t win in Denver I may lose my shit. Since when did Patriots fans become such pussies? I mean Jesus Christ. We’re the best fucking team of the past decade. We’ve been to five superbowls. We’ve won 3. We’ve been within a minute of winning all five. We have the best QB in football. We have the best coach in football. Gronk is coming back. And yet people are acting like we’re dead man walking now. That we can’t beat the fucking Broncos in Denver? What planet am I on? Who the fuck do people think we are? King Kong ain’t got shit on the Pats. I expect us to beat every single team we line up against in the playoffs this year and last night’s result didn’t change that. I don’t care if we’re at home on the road or on the moon. I wasn’t joking when I said I thought that last night’s loss was good for us. It gets the clunker out of the system. Get all the turnovers and fumbles and shit out of the way before it matters. I mean people do know that 5 out of the last 7 superbowls have featured at least one team that played during Wildcard weekend right? I just don’t get where all this doom and gloom is coming from? Bottomline is gun to head I still pick the Pats vs. everybody regardless of where the game is. Anybody who would do otherwise is a fool or lying.
They haven’t lost the Superbowl til the Giants officially make the playoffs
i was getting sick of trying to plan a ski weekend or some bs during wildcard weekend to pass the time until the pats played, anyway….
They haven’t lost the Superbowl until an NFC team officially make the playoffs
dead man laying down…
I actually agree with this blog.
If they won Pres would be trying to sell us on how important the bye is.
I agree, I don’t care if we have a bye or not. I rather have them play a week then sit a week. Patriots got there asses handed to them, then they came back and almost won against the best team in football (other then the Patriots of course). This was a nice wake up call for them, watch next week and beyond. This isn’t sitting well with Belichick, and we all know it! We know what happens when Bill gets mad, he gets even!
After they finished playing like absolute shit yesterday, they woke up from their slumber and proceeded to score 28 unanswered. This team can beat anybody, no questions asked. Wait until Gronk comes back healthy. They’ll hang 50 on everybody.
@5Minute, do you know how dumb you sound considering NFC teams have already made the playoffs a week ago.
I love this set up…Angry Pats stay angry a bye week woulda cooled them off…Gronk smash!!!
otwisted it was a twist to georgiaoqueef’s post. Sorry, hate to lay it on all the homer pink hats but the NFC just seems a lot better. And I’d say the numbers back it up.
Fits right into the Niners plan. Make the Pats play an extra team in the playoffs so a team that is already soft gets softer so if they do make the Super Bowl the Niners will pound them again and send Brady on his back looking into the sky with a blank stare on his face. Pats overrated anyone can win divisions and make the Super Bowl year after year when you play in that division and conference. Niners!
“I guess it’s all that pumpin’. Pump and dump. You really jarred something loose, tiger.” Kingpin is so underrated.
Yeah the NFC West is a perennial power house.
Pussification of MLB. Pitchers to wear padded hats. “But Harry, what if he shot you in the face.”
Humble Pie served up by 9ers last night. The Pats needed some.

49ers baby!!! If they meet again, Harbaugh will keep bringing the dogs and won’t go into prevent D like he did yesterday.
I’m so sick and tired of Pats fans whining, period.
@otwisted 5Minute’s comment went waaaaaaay over your head
5Minute, I’ll give it to you that overall the NFC has better teams, but you only play aginst one of them in the SB. Any team can be beat in one game, fact.
Pres just keep in mind Brady and Belichick have never made it to a Super Bowl without having had a first round bye. I agree this will wake them up but 0 for 3 getting to super Sunday when playing in the wild card round. Hopefully that changes this season but that probably has something to do with why people are pissed off
@Hidden Laxatives, NFC West is the best division in football maybe aside from the NFC Central. The Pats lost to everyone in the NFC West except the Rams in jolly ole England. Bam!!!!
The Super Bowl has been won by a team twice who had a bye since the Patriots last won in 2004.
The Patriots vs. The 49ers or The Giants is the only Super Bowl match up where the Patriots have to show up and play. And those games would be a toss up.
Taco, I knew exactly what he was saying. Though I would have put the word “once” in place of “until”
Agree. They have gone out of sync with that 2 week break. Still aren’t going anywhere, but the bye week is overrated.
we got smoked by a team that got smoked by a team that we smoked
the toughest player on the pats is a 5 ft 3 white running back, other than that its a bunch of gutless cowards that only care about party rockin after games. This team is softer than baby shit.
i agree with this blog totally…that being said the bye and homefield isnt out of reach.. Houston plays a hot minnesota team who needs to win sunday, then an Indi team that is no joke in indi..wouldnt be suprised if they loose out
@bayarealove – remember when you could win that tough NFCW being 7-9???? yeah that was 2 seasons ago….
if the pats are good enough to win the Super Bowl then they’ll do it either way. Hell, id rather watch an extra game anyways!
Are people really concerned about the Patriots having to play the Colts or the Bengals in the first round? Or even the Steelers, who are decimated by injuries? It really doesn’t make a difference.
@Tony, Denver plays KC & Cleveland, safe bet they win those two. If Houston loses their last two Pats get a #2 seed(Den #1)and would need a Denver loss in the divisional round to host an AFCCG.
The “Traing Day” drop was weak Portnose. Step it up.
can you just have that video in every blog regardless of it making any sense to the story.
We suck ass after a bye week anyway.
Oh no, now there’s an extra football game for pats fans
@EZBreezey2222, point taken. And that 7-9 Seahawks team beat the defending champuion Saints. AFC East is a doormat division and has been for years. The 49ers put up a combined 147 points vs. the AFC East and only gave up 50 points in those 4 games. AFC East is garbage.
Gun to your head a team that has gone 3-3 against winning teams is going to win 4 straight in the playoffs?
if you’re hitting the panic button as a fan, or counting the Pats out as a hater, then you clearly don’t understand football. the Pats are a huge threat in the playoffs, especially once they get Gronk back. we still haven’t seen much of this offense with both Hernandez and Gronk operational, which is what the whole offense is theoretically designed for. are the Pats beatable? absolutely. the secondary is at best horrendous with flashes of brilliance. we have a B, B+ front 7, which can ease some of the pressure on the DBs. the big thing missing last night was turnovers. it felt like the Super Bowl all over again, balls on the ground, but not bouncing our way.
regardless, the Pats can beat whoever they want, it’s just a matter of executing. i felt like it was more a lack of execution that getting flat out beaten by the opposition. the Niners are a very good team, and i give them their share of credit, but if Ridley only coughs it up once (the Whitner hit/forced fumble was just good football, anyone’s putting on the carpet in that situation)you’re looking at a different ballgame. it might’ve been the difference between going into halftime 21-3 vs 14-10. and the Pats just went out and dropped 28 on the best D in the league like whoa when they came out for the second half. if special teams doesn’t fuck up and Gostkowski could actually kick it deep into the fucking endzone like everyone can with the kickoff line moved up, the 49ers might not score the go-ahead.
all in all, a sloppy game by both teams in shitty weather. we learned that Kaepernick can play, but not from under center. if one of those fumbled snaps bounces the right way, the Pats get the ball and maybe score. yeah, yeah, i know…if your aunt had a dick she’d be your uncle. but that’s football. 45% talent, 45% execution, 10% dumb luck. but knowing we can drop 34 on a D that averages 14 a game makes me sleep a lot better. the Pats D wasn’t great, but offensive and ST mistakes put them in a lot of bad situations. in a rematch at the dome in New Orleans, i like the Pats’ chances.
If you like the patriots you are a closet yankee fan. Patriots games have the same feel as yankees games.
How hasnt anyone made a patsuck shirt yet.
At the very least Wild Card weekend won’t be boring with a horse in the race. I like byes for the health aspect, but beyond that, it sucks waiting two weeks to watch your team play.
by Hidden Laxatives – “Yeah the NFC West is a perennial power house” ……………………………..You mean the NFC West that your Super Bowl bound New England Patriots are 1-3 against THIS YEAR NFC WEST????
If you’re talking about the NFC west vs the AFC east THIS YEAR, then yes, the NFC west is better. The last 10 years? It’s not even close. Up until this season, the NFC west has been a complete joke of a division. Now they finally have some defenses.
So in all likely scenarios, the Patriots will now end up with a first round game against either Baltimore or Pittsburgh. I think those are the two teams in the entire AFC that have the best chance of beating the Patriots. That loss of the bye week was HUGE. There is just no way its even close to a good thing at all. If we were gunna play some shitty team in the first round then ya i would totally agree, but Baltimore and Pittsburgh are probably number 3 and 4 on the list of teams im least confident in the Patriots chances against, only behind the giants and 9ers. Just idiotic analysis Pres. A bye week, while denver has to play the ravens or steelers to get a chance to come to gillette, or a first round game against one of the two teams, not only the most capable of beating us, but the hungriest to do so with all the recent history that exists. If we are able to win, we will certainly take some injuries from that game, and head to denver, the one place this dynasty has flat out never been able to win a big game. Ya your right we are much better off now.
down four touchdowns and with four turnovers, they still tied the game with six minutes to play… every sf fan was shitting their pants when the pats tied the game.
Bmac, you are misguided. How can Pitt and Balt be the best teams in the entire AFC when Denver beat both? Flacco and Rapelisburger are hungrier then Manning? The only thing you have right is that the Pats have no chance in Denver. Smoke another bowl.
djgross… I in no way said that the steelers or ravens are the best teams in the afc, i said they are the two teams in the AFC with the best chance to beat the pats. This is easy to make a case for. The patriots lose to teams that play great defense and get after the quarterback, while being able to pass the ball down field. That is exactly what those two teams do. They have great defenses, and great deep ball recievers. They are hungry, because in Baltimore’s case the Pats knocked them out in the AFC championship last year on that missed FG, and Pittsburgh and NE have a ton of history of big playoff games all of which have gone the Patriots way. If you are a patriots fan, im shocked that you wouldn’t share the same fears that i do of a possible first round matchup with either of those two teams coming in with nothing to lose. Pres claims that loss last night was good for us. Well it made us have to play an extra game against a top 5 defense and then go on the road to Denver where brady hasnt been able to win a big game his entire carreer. Ya that sounds better than a week off and a home game.
ace
the Pats were a 1 or 2 seed for all 5 of those super bowls.. 3 seed or lower for ’05, ’06, and ’09.. two of those years were stopped by mile high in denver and peyton manning.. now those two things are together.. full confidence that the Pats can and will get the job done but it certainly don’t help
