There have been more Pats trolls this week than all other games combined for the past two seasons. I'm not sure why these guys care so much compared to everyone else, but I can't imagine that Saints fans will be anywhere near that obnoxious. [Reply]

You make a great point. Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Patriots' fans show up posing as Saints' fans. They do seem hyper sensitive. Maybe it's all the crap they get from the rest of the East Coast. [Reply]

These people also believe in the tooth fairy.
They probably have no idea who Howard Mudd is and that Cowher once worked for the Chiefs, either.
They know nothing outside of KC , the Chiefs and what the tolls at ESPN tell them.
Comical, but sad.
I can not speak for the whole board here and am not worried about.
I had noticed that particular poster call out the Pats issues and was just curious what he had thought about the 49ers concerns.
Many folks who call out the Pats more often do not apply the same standard to other concerns.
Social media and 24 hour sporting news had changed some things too. [Reply]

Pats are 5-0 vs playoff teams this year. 4-0 at home.1-0 on the road. We are 6-2 vs teams with winning records. The 5 losses vs bottom-dwellers vs all non-playoff teams means they lollygagged. They lost and its on them. Plain and simple.
Chiefs are 4-4 vs teams with winning records. What does it mean? Maybe something but it has nothing to do with Sunday.
Agreed, what happens Sunday happens Sunday. A team could be on a roll and have an off game and loose. That is the beauty, excitement and unknown factor of the single elimination football playoffs.
I do think to some degree the Pats have played down to their competition and at times will bring it when they are playing a tougher team. Would of been nice if we won one of those games.
The Miami one was a tough one as we made more than one gaff in that game. The other looses the teams basically brought it against us and we could not counter. So we are the #2 seed.
What happens Sunday will happen, glad that we are healthy. [Reply]

Jesus if we drop Sunday it'll be 3 straight AFCCG road losses in which the loss @ MIA screwed us out of HFA.

God damn LOLfins.
Yes, you are correct.
I still remember Brady in his presser after the Miami loss in 2013 coming to the podium, saying "we played like sh*t", the 5th Qtr cut the feed and then came back like 10 seconds later and Brady said his few points, thanked the reporters, and walked off the podium.
Never seen him that angry, but with the red hot Broncos of '13 i think he knew we were in trouble at that point. And it was like this year, were we had beaten the Broncos but still got the #2 seed.
Darn fins . . .
Be nice if this year will be different that '13 and '15 [Reply]

When the Patriots were playing their way thru the 2001 playoffs, right up to the SB, the conversations I had with other Pats' fans could only be described as 'guarded optimism'....NO overblown predictions, guarantees or blather about how invincible they were! What has happened to reason and humility?
Difference is that in 2001 a slightly better version of Alex Smith was your QB, not kidding lookup passing stats from that season. Chiefs have a 23 year old MVP. No way CP would be this bullish with Smith. In fact this forum would have tuned out as soon as the playoffs had begun. [Reply]

This isn't an insurmountable HFA by any means.
Newsflash: Patriots have sucked on the road in the playoffs. Better teams than this. [Reply]
Hey gang, being that the Superbowl being played in Atlanta this year and its proximity to New Orleans, I dont think we (best dynasty ever) will be 50/50 on fan representation...I'm guessing 60-40.

Another tidbit I personally found to be interesting is that in all those one and done playoff losses in 2013, 16 and 17 the Chiefs would have played at the Patriots next. They played them in 2015 after winning at Houston. They finally meet again on the biggest possible stage. [Reply]
