Hey Jets fans, first of all Id like to say the Jets suck, so let's make that clear(in good spirit of course ). All kidding aside, first of all, I have been a member on this board for awhile and posted a few times some time ago, but have since been beholden to FinHeaven. Over at FH, we too have been discussing the unethical NE Patriots and their "god-like figure" of a head coach, BellyCheck. As you all know, half of their team is made up of former Fins players, guys who for some reason couldn't cut it in Miami, but somehow go to NE and produce. But as we've suspected all along, and is now finally being examined by the media, is that its not necessarily the players making plays or being at the right place at the right time, its been all along since their Super Bowl season of 2001 when the controversial replay decision against Oakland in the AFC Championship game that the Patriots have the NFL's unwavering support. Now of course they have to balance things up and lose, like last year and in 2002, but its been quite obvious that all the "breaks" the Pats have been getting since 2001 are suspicious. Take even last year, for example, when the "time clock" mysteriously was in favor of the Patriots. Or especially the Oakland game, when during an instant replay of the Tom Brady "fumble/incomplete pass" play created a new rule, when clearly his arm wasn't even cocked in a passing motion, his throwing hand behind his shoulder, clearly a fumble. It pains me as a Dolphins fan to consistantely see the Pats getting break after break, and now are being exposed for some of their tactics(not their only ones and Im sure they arent the only team to try this). But I suspect nothing will come of this, if anything maybe a slap on the wrist. I doubt they will even lose a draft pick. IMO, the game between NE and NYJ should be nulled and voided and replayed sometime during the season. It is not fair to the Jets nor fair to any NFL fans that the Patriots have such an uneven advantage and get away with it. So there you have it Jets fans, from a diehard "fish" fan, you finally have my sympathies. The NFL teams should join in unison and vote for an investigation into the Pats' crooked ways, before things get out of hand. We dont want the NFL to be like the NBA, with their crooked referees(and the NFL has some as well) and nothing to come out of it. We want the playing field as even as possible, with advantages to teams being on their gameplanning and execution only, in accordance to NFL rules. It is a dog eat dog world out there, and this is a business and shady things will occur, but if you let it get out of hand, itll only gets worse before it gets better. IMO this has gone on for 6-7 years too long, it is time for investigations and punishments/concessions if necessary. Let me know what you guys think. Go Miami!
God damn aren't you glad it's football season again! Man that offseason is long. Oh, DolPhan, Jeff George just dropped off his resume, I'll leave it on your chair in case you want to give him a call.
Well, we sort of have a thread on this already, so I hope the mods just merge it, but anyway, I suppose this is about as much support as I would suspect from a fins fan. BTW, you should be outraged because the Pats have done it to you for 2 games a year for the last 6 years; you just havebn't had a coach smart enough to bring to anyone's attention.
Actually, last year it was Miami doing this to the Pats and admitting it. Sorry, I forgot, Jets fan Jets fan. Right. Hey...Fetch!!
Yeah yeah yeah. Well, someone needed to balance your little sermon on the mount, clutch-your-chest grandstanding. I think Chad Pennington just slammed his finger in a door. Shouldn't you be out cheering?
I think BB just sent henchmen into the Jets training room to get photos, recordings, and fluid samples of Pennington....shouldnt you be getting ready for your 4th tainted super bowl?
My excuse? When I think one up I'll be sure to send it FedEx to Mangini and Tannenbaum. They're going to need lots of them this year I think.
Shouldn't you be out forcing players with head injuries to play so they can perma damage their brains... thanks sweetie
He'll leave soon enough. It's coming up on 9pm here on the east coast. He's going to have to be tucked into bed soon.
not before he takes out the garbage and puts away his laundry... then he gets to put on his footie PJ's and cuddle up with his Brady doll
