Why is everyone so scared of the Patriots? (1 Viewer)

[Flipx99]

I can respect the Pats achievements, but it is hard to be "scared" of a team that has not won a game in an opposing team's stadium all year.

They are mortal, and I do believe that the Saints are an all around better team this year.

No way the Pats beat us in the THUNDER DOME no way! We will not loose a Home game this year mark it down.I have no fear of the Pat's at all.They are a very solid football well coached and never quite.Same goes for the Saints 1 major difference we are home.Saints win going away 38-21.

Two teams enter. One team leaves. Let's kill em. I want to dominate them. I want to show no mercy. Run the score up on that bast*#d. Treat him and his team like they do others on Monday Night Football with all of America watching.

Shoulder to shoulder we march in and beat them down with hard line play, tough running backs play, the BEST QB in the world overseeing our amazingly talented WR corp, constant unrelenting pressure on the fallen lion of past glory (not as good as he was when he knew the defensive signals is he?) and our opportunistic secondary making Brady pay for any mistake we force. Plus he has to do it in our house. Our fans WILL make a difference.

This is our time. This is our year to be Champions. It is destiny. And some has-been cheater from days gone by is not going to stop us.

Old lion vs. young lion. Now we take over the pack. This is our time to shine.

I can smell the greatness. We will control the tempo and win the game and America's hearts and confidence. We are the world's favorite NFL team. Let's go show them why.

The Pats are good. Damn good.

We all love it when you speak like that, it really emphasizes the point and makes you sound a little like Dirty Harry.

At no time has the 300 analogy been more apt.
Brady is Xerxes, coming into the hot gates (Superdome) to defeat the 300. They have all the history on their side. We are the up and comers.
So I can see how some would be intimdated. But not Brees/Leonidas.

What can I say, I learned it from Les Miles, among other things (like how to wear a hat).

With all due respect we played the Bucs. Tampa is not a good team and their defense is suspect. The Pats dominanted both the Colts and Jets of lately and Wes Welker is a top 5 WR in the NFL. There are few teams that pressure defenses to defend the whold field. The Pats (and Saints) are among them. This will be very, very tough. I think both the Colts and Saints could be "upset" this weekend

I love how this myth that the Pats dominated the game has grown to where people actually belive it now.

The Colts did NOT have one "gimme" score from either their defense or their ST's. Every score was achieved by their offense driving on the Pats defense. There's no doubt the Pats should have won, but the idea that the Pats dominated the game it ridiculous. Below are the scoring drives the Colts had to score.....does it look like they had issues maintaining drives and scoring TD's? You decide.

1st scoring drive - 90 yards - outcome TD
2nd scoring drive - 80 yards - outcome TD
3rd scoring drive - 79 yards - outcome TD
4th scoring drive - 79 yards - outcome TD
5th scoring drive - 29 yards - outcome TD

Peyton Manning - 320+ yards, 4 TD's
Rushing - 90+ yards, 1 TD, 5.1 YPC

So, not only did the Pats give up numerous crazy long drives, they allowed TD's instead of FG's.

The Pats did not dominate the Colts in any way, shape or form.

Because they arguably have the best QB in football, the best coach in football,
a pair of the best receivers in football, 1 of the best OL's in football, and a
very competent defense.

Aside from that, I'm not worried.

Are you referring to them or us. Because that sounds just like the Saints.
And we don't have to cheat to win. His cheating is a sign of lack of confidence. Winners don't cheat. Second rate coaches cheat. And he does make poor decisions. Coach Payton however is the best play caller in the league. Bar none.

I would bet my house that we win Monday night. And we will do it with style, class and our collective fist shoved down their throats so deep that it will have to be removed at a latter date.

This is OUR time.

There's was two years ago. Every year is a new war. Last year does not mean jack. And two years ago means even less.

Look at it this way. THIS team that we have right now would beat the life out of our 2006 team.
Anyone disagree with that?

To those going to the game.

At no time has the 300 analogy been more apt.
Brady is Xerxes, coming into the hot gates (Superdome) to defeat the 300. They have all the history on their side. We are the up and comers.
So I can see how some would be intimdated. But not Brees/Leonidas.

I agree completely. Leonidas knew how to finnish hard didn't he. And I am going to watch 300 to get pumped up before the game.

I feel exhilarated like I too am going into battle. I just want to thank all of you who dat's that are going to be there and be the 12th man. THANK YOU ALL. Best fans in the NFL by far. Now go show the world that you are. Because they will be watching. From our boys over sea's serving this great nation during a time of war, to our fans in Scandinavia, Germany, the U.K. etc.

Show up in full regalia, be louder than ever and raise our teams desire to win for US. Because WE deserve it. We have waited so long to be the top dog. I would rather die fighting than live and lose. F*^k next year.

On three. one two three DOMINATE!

Belichick: Lay down your weapons.
Brees: Come and get them.
