I have this theorem that I've been wondering about which absolutely does not bode well for you. Any scientists here can help me with this.

Since the Patriots have been winning for 15 years it's become engrained in the codex of New England's DNA, so the next generation will be predisposed to winning. Making them smarter, stronger, better football players. The winning gene will be passed down from me to baby shrimp and other great New England Patriots players fan's making him or her among the best football players ever.

Slight problem, there's some variation in their past 15 years of winning, with a few documented incidents of "not winning". Though few and far in-between, it has introduced certain recessive loser genes into the overall pool. Also, with enough interbreeding with losers from outside the New England fanbase, it will dilute the winning genes to a point where the loser genes resurface and become enabled.

This is a long and stupid-smart way of saying ~not winning hard enough~.

Anyways, since my team is poo poo, I'm perfectly okay with the Patriots burning down the rest of the NFL this year just to see if Roger Goodell will present Tom Brady with a trophy while his stupid irrelevant little appeal is still going on.

I dearly wish for the Dolphins to succeed, but I cannot see their defense taking the next step against formidable opponents without a new Mike and Willl. Their linebackers were abused in coverage all night long by Lewis and Gronk. You can't really defend Gronk, but they left some huge windows open for other receivers. The Dolphins line loving blows (especially Dallas Thomas), but you already knew that. Why can't Tom Brady retire?

We look so lost at linebacker it's nearly unforgivable considering how much attention was placed on that position in the offseason after the trade with the saints.

Wow. We have such glaring holes at lb CB and og that it's... Just comical

Here's your helpful reminder that the last time the Patriots were 7-0 was October 21, 2007. They played the Miami Dolphins that day, and went on to also go 18-1 (may we never forget)

Every team the Patriots have played (and beaten) was at least at .500 when they played.

I used the CNN definition "a little-known bit of information; trivial but interesting data.", hopefully that clears it up for you.

You're telling me Denver and Cincinnati are the AFC's only hope to beat the Patriots during the playoffs?

My genre's thriller... What's yours?
Tom Brady is that neighbor who is constantly stealing your newspaper and one day you had enough and you confront him and it gets heated and someone in the neighborhood calls the cops and they show up and whoops you had some shrooms in your pocket and now you are going to jail and he reads the story of your arrest and subsequent brutal jailhouse beating in your newspaper the following morning while getting a blowjob from your wife. He kind of owns.
