Nope, Monday. Well one league I drafted and forgot about it. I'll probably root for the Hawks because it's my dads team.

I think Yummy would rather burn all his robots and watches before he becomes a Pats fan.

I for one will enjoy immense satisfaction watching fair weather Patriots fans jump ship in droves when the inevitable downfall comes.

There are some teenagers/early 20s people that are used to having an over .500 record.

Same goes for Steelers and Packers fans actually. There are quite a lot in California

I know one way that Yummy cheers for the Pats. Cybernetic implants that make Brady part robot.

Ok so a couple takeaways from last night. ***All of these thoughts came when the score was still 28-27.

The Pats front 7 looked awful. No way around it, just zero pressure all night. Couldnt cover a RB out of the backfield if their lives depended on it. Ninkovich retiring in the offseason and Hightower hurting his knee(again) last night certainly isnt helping.As for the Offense, they never seemed to get in a rhythm for more than a couple plays. I think Brady threw more deep balls last night than all of last season. Its just not his or McDaniels style. Clearly the loss of Edelman is huge and who knows how long Amendola(concussion) and Mitchell(knee) will be out for. The one position I we had depth at is starting to look scary thin.

Gotta give some credit to the Chiefs, it seemed like they just wanted it more. Between the 4th down stops, the big hits, broken arm tackles, they just bullied the Pats most of the game.


****Trigger warning/Microaggression/Masshole Coment Incoming. They are still the Patriots, they will figure it out and most likely still host the AFC Championship Game. IN BILL WE TRUST

I was surprised when I saw the Chiefs were up, I was more surprised that their team headsets and radios were working...

LOL - you like to pour it on thick don't you.

I'm a die hard Pats fan and have been for decades, but you need to show some humility.

For instance - The Patriots have the worst record in the NFL.

If I've learned anything on AZine, there is at least one Masshole who will always dig their heels in during a Patriots discussion.

And I have no clue who started the "Pats are going to go undefeated this year." That is just crap for any team in this day and age. On any given Sunday any team can beat any team and to predict an undefeated season before week 1 is just utter nonsense. It it happens, okay, but I would never be bragging or predicting it.
