It's a function of them trying to give themselves something to play for. I think it speaks to the fact that after this many title games in a row they are struggling to get up for them every year.

Speaking of air pressure, I sure hope Andy double checks with the refs that they(footballs) are at regulation pressure since it will be in the low teens on Sunday.:shrug:

It's what happens when Bellichek finally burns you out on winning. Just ask Amendola,Welker,Gronk.......etc:D

Yeah, it's hilarious/ridiculous. In some degree of fairness to them, the media up here has been crucifying them all year because they weren't the usual, dominating, #1 seed, team we've been spoiled by all these years. To turn it into "everyone thinks we suck" is like 20 bridges too far.

But hey, if it motivates them, whatever. And if it pisses off others, that's ok too. :D

ROFL

Do they actually believe this crap? Do they actually believe everybody ELSE believes it?

Due to the immutable laws of physics, the balls will not in fact be at regulation pressure by halftime. Too bad the ****ing NFL doesn't understand that.

I guess they didn't see that Colin Cowerd said that home field advantage has been wiped out and the cold temps will favor the Pat's :)

Who cares. It's a WAAAY better mentality for them to have than "we're the ****ing Patriots, bow down to us and acknowledge that we're going to the Super Bowl and nobody can stop us!!! WE'RE THE ****ING GREATEST WITH THE GOAT COACH AND GOAT QB!!!!!!"

That type of complacency/ mindset gets your ass smoked.

How about just not say anything at all?

If Brady and Jules think that that shit will help motivate his teammates one iota, then go for it. Why the hell not?

Rodney Harrison rode that horse into the ground but it seemingly helped them win a SB in 2004.

One thing matters here -- WINNING. They can say whatever they want and if it helps them win, I couldn't care less.

Because it's hilariously pathetic. And if that kind of crap actually has the ability to motivate the Patriots, it has the ability to motivate the Chiefs too. Seems it might be better to just focus on something other than social media.

This really speaks as pathetic and entitled. Who flips their shit because they aren't 10 point favorites? Hell a lot of the media is still picking the Patriots to win where is the disrespect?

It's a made up narrative that no one believes.

Black and white Planet.... really though, "bet against us"/"everyone thinks we suck" probably does stem from arrogance, it's just an incredibly passive aggressive way of showing it.

Less than 100% agreement that the Patriots will dominate is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Dont stop I'm almost there
