Hopefully the Steelers will beat the Patriots Sunday night.

They won't

As one of two resident :patssay:, if we end up self-fellating ourselves like we did in 2017's home opener/banner ceremony, we'll likely lose.

Though seeing Tomlin lose his loving mind is always a pleasure so I'm hopeful we can postpone our usual September loss/"THE DYNASTY IS OVER!" hysteria weekend for later this month.

I hope Tom Brady's head spontaneously falls off.





I honestly hope Garoppolo has a solid year and cements himself in SF. Also hope Mahomes continues to be great*



*I like the Chiefs and they are the only other team in the AFC that I enjoy watching, if they make it to the SB this year, I'd be cool with it.

I loving hate a good chunk of my fanbase because the Patriots are 12-4 and making the playoffs for the eleventh year in a loving row yet if you listen to some of these dumbshits, you'd think we are the Bengals or something. Team's fans are so loving spoiled and it's wasted.


Also endless whining about AB getting cut. I'm glad they cut his rear end.

The Pats win because of Belichick, not Tom. If Tom doesn't play, the team's performance is basically the same. His athletic skills haven't been a driving force on that team for years. Leadership maybe, but literally any QB in the league can throw a 6 yard slant 40 times.

Yeah, as a :patssay:, this is true. Brady's good, but I highly doubt he leaves and if he does, I highly doubt he achives the same level of success without Belichick.

If you need proof of Belichick being able to win without Brady, just look at the 2016 seasons first four games.

Don't even get me started on that poo poo. I knew multiple people at 38 studios as well as people working for the state when that whole thing went down.


I think the only unanimous feeling years later is that Schilling is an rear end in a top hat and he managed to make even die hard red Sox fans hate him for the bullshit he pulled.

The only thing that makes me still resilient to all of this is that Belichick is still coaching.


And the more I'm hearing, the more it sounds like Belichick was kind of like "Yeah, you can leave. I'll be fine."


So in summary, :patssay:

One of the rumors I saw was Brady was pissy that Belichick wouldn't keep AB around and that led to him wanting to GTFO.

If that's true, gently caress him.

How soon until Edelman goes???

Pats won't let him go. They need at least one veteran WR right now and he's it. TB has no need for a WR either so it's unlikely they'd try for him.

I think my annoyance about seeing Gronk come out of retirement is two fold, one being :patssay: and how he joked about coming back a bunch but never did. The second is, I was genuinely happy to see him retire when he did cause it felt like he was getting out while he was ahead and at the top of the world. He was pretty banged up at the time and hearing that he cried himself to sleep due to the amount of pain he was in the night of the super bowl LIII made it pretty clear that his retiring was probably the best thing for him and his long-term health. It was bittersweet and a nice ending. Now, it feels like I'm watching another Mike Webster or Junior Seau play out in real time.


Pats now have a boatload of draft picks though, so that should be interesting to watch play out. Belichick is still coaching so I don't expect the Patriots to suddenly go 2-14.
