Tom Brady trying to play the "no respect" card. Seriously.

[wazu]

Just a joke of a post-game interview on the field. Brady claims he thinks people think they suck and can't win a game so "we'll see". Seems to me like the actions of a man who lacks confidence so is reaching for a false narrative.

Tom Brady revels in perception that Patriots are washed up

Consecutive losses to the Dolphins and Steelers prompted many to conclude that it was finally over for the Patriots. And that may be exactly what the Patriots wanted.

After consecutive wins to end the regular season and a not-as-close-as-the-score-would-suggest 41-28 chewing up of the Chargers, the Patriots are back. And they’re on to Kansas City.

But they’re clinging to the perception that they’re no good, even if that perception no longer exists.

“You know, everyone thinks we suck,” Brady told Tracy Wolfson of CBS after the victory. “You know, can’t win any games. So we’ll see. It’ll be fun.”

They definitely don’t suck, as evidenced by their eighth straight berth in the AFC title game. But they underachieved just enough down the stretch to squander the chance to host the Chiefs, forcing the Patriots to return to the site of a September 2014 shredding that resulted in the coinage of “on to Cincinnati” by Bill Belichick and a run that culminated in a Super Bowl win.

This time, a win in Kansas City puts the Patriots in the Super Bowl. While the Chiefs may have more talent and home-field advantage, the Patriots have what no other team does — extensive postseason experience. It will benefit them next Sunday.

****ing Julian Edelman and his #BetAgainstUs hashtag bullshit. He's even selling shirts. What a ****ing douchebag.

You know what, I'm betting a significant amount of money on the Chiefs to cover, and I'm going to @ Edelman on Twitter. So I'll get a Chiefs victory and money in my pocket. **** that guy.

How the **** would he know what Shannon Sharpe or Max Kellerman said if that were actually true?

It's either that or he started planning this bullshit ever since Josh Gordon left. "Maybe if I plant the seeds of the underdog, maybe it will produce real motivation!"

They definitely listen to media even if they deny it. Its probably motivation material for them if anything. I personally love this fire out of Brady because I often think we are too passive. Though again, if we lose then our underdog motivation will look stupid.

It ALREADY looks stupid and that's the point; there is NO ONE on all of God's earth who looks at a 5 time winning SB team as a ****ing "underdog" in the playoffs, regardless of what Vegas may have to say in the matter.

I've seen some dumb shit from the NFL and New England over the years, but this truly takes the cake.

I think some of you on here are making a big deal out of nothing. To each their own. If that is how they get motivated then so be it. When you've won as much as they have they are going to look to get motivated in anyway they can.

That said it is the AFC Championship that should be motivation enough but to each their own.

I think they are underdogs. Your team is playing at home and I completely respect your unit because of how tough they are. Your team should be favorites imo based on Mahomes' play and your great team at home.
