This is the final hurrah for the pats. The Qb trade they just dud will backfire as Brady is carted off with a broken leg. End of the dynasty

Some sources gave ESPN a story, ESPN put it out there, people interested will find their respective teams to consult their mostly irrational decision. ESPN is reporting.

Everyone hates the Pats. Playoff season is starting. ESPN wants ratings.

Media working as normal as far as I can tell.

BB playing chess while reporters play checkers. Wash, rinse and repeat. Every year for the past 15 years BB has some distraction that keeps the media away from the players and on the organization. It's what he does. He uses that so the team focuses on the game at hand not the distraction. Then he uses all the nonesense to motivate the team.

Nothing to see here. This group has been together for 18 year. There are bound to be disagreements. Does BB walk after the season? Does TB retire? Who knows right now. But one thing we all know is eventually both will be gone. Whether it's next year or a decade from now.

Let's not forget winning cures everything. Another SB and this story dies for another 5 years. Until then we can speculate about their demise due to loss of the assistant coaches and Dr. G being banned from the facility.

Yeah not like it is hard to call a Steelers offense:

1. Hand off to Bell
2. Throw to Brown
3. Throw to Bell
4. Throw to JuJu
5. Give Bryant a bone every so often to keep him from being a cry baby.

No one else can destroy them, so espn decided to try to make things interesting imo.....

It would be good for both the nfl and sports in general if the pats did not win the sb this year. Last year felt like it had a finality to it, as if that was the climax of what the pats would accomplish, but frankly they're better than every other team in the league going into the playoff EXCEPT Pittsburgh, and we all know how the Steelers tend to do against the pats

Also this just feels like ESPN trying to stay relevant. Knowing all well this week, especially in the AFC wildcard, is not that exciting. So they think if they put crap out there on the Patriots people would talk about them. Sadly it is sort of working. :L

"End of the Patriots Dynasty" talk is so 2005.

And end of the Brady bandwagoners disguised as Patriot fans

They will quickly become that franchise once kicked out of Boston for lack of interest in them

I'm not sure I'd say Pittsburgh is better? On paper they have a more talented offense I'll grant them that.
