Anquan Boldin: This year will be different because ‘we’re gonna win’

 Hasn’t come true yet…..  Besides, even if they get past NE, there isn’t a chance they will get by San Fran.

All talk no bite. Patriots will teach them a lesson again.

Yeah, he was a real Nostradamus…What I can’t understand is why Obama doesn’t use him to help with the national debt….can’t wait to see Aaron Rodgers this weekend…oh wait, he’s not playing.

Apparently you did enough to waste your precious time reading and commenting on it. Funny how a person can complain about something they themselves are doing. I believe you are what people would call a hypocrite.

Dave ward. More like isolation ward, you babbling lunatic. Nice of the guards to jot down your ravings for you, what with being all wrapped up in that white jacket….

Daveward654321, I can’t complain about the length of your post as I myself am guilty of long posts (like this one), however, there is something called a paragraph, so look into it.  Now, while I believe Harvard elitists exist, I don’t believe they permeate the entire region of New England. Regarding the other points you make, I’ll address as many as I can, but let me first say, you sound like a classic jealous ranter who resents any one team having “too much” success. 

Consequently, you construct in your own small mind, very loose reasoning as to why ANY team, like the Patriots, that dominate for as long as a decade,  really DIDN’T dominate.  You construct your own reality that you try and sell, that’s designed to deligitimize the accomplishments of ANY team that doesn’t ”spred the wealth,” and that doesn’t know when to rightfully step down off the stage and let other teams have the spotlight.  To people like you, we should take turns being at the top.  It isn’t fair that the Pats get all the Headlines, and drown out the attention given to your Ravens is it?

People like you invariably bring up spygate to start with, but of course do so only in very GENERAL terms.  You of course don’t talk about the specifics of spygate.  You don’t do this because you either don’t KNOW the specifics, or you DO know the specifics, but you also know the specifics wont help you sell the notion the Pats haven’t earned the place in history. 

I could go into extensive detail on Spygate here, but I suspect that would be a waste of time with someone like you.  Furthermore I’d bore my fellow Pats fans to tears as they already know the detail.  However, since I just accused you of not talking in specifics about Spygate, I do need to address it to some degree.

Spygate was a joke in terms of providing any serious competative advantage, and here’s why.  First of all, shortly after the story broke, numerous current and former head coaches acknowledged filming signals accross the sidelines had been common practice for years.  These coaches further noted that no one cared enough to report it since no one felt it gave any serious competative advantage.  After it was discovered the Pats violated this rule in after week 1 of the 2007 season, league security was beefed up on all sidelines from that date forward to stop this practice.  Therefore from week 2 till the end of that 2007 season no one could make the claim the Pats filmed anymore signal calling.  As we all know, the Pats went 15-0 from week 2 on that season, and that fact alone illustrates just how much of a “competative advantage” filming signals on the sidelines had, that being zero.

As to your other ranting commentary, I’m almost inclined to not dignify it with a response, but I will anyway.  Regarding the “help of penalty calls” I’ll say this:  You do realize that the entire course of NFL history has been affected by judgement calls of refs in almost every minute of every game, do you not?  I don’t know how old you are, but I’m guessing from the way you write, you are about 12 years old, so you’ll need to look this next point up on the internet. 

Since you bring up the Tuck Rule call in the famous Pats Raiders snow bowl game I’ll refer you to the following:  Just to show you the frequency in which refs have had major influence on history, I’ll point to yet ANOTHER equally important Pats Raiders game.  Coincidentally this was also Playoff game from MANY years prior to that Tuck Rule call, and occured most likely prior to your birth.

Look up the name “Sugar Bear Hamilton,” along with the term 1976 AFC Playoffs.  When you do this you will learn of a phantom “roughing the passer” call on the Patriots in the final 10 seconds of Pats Raiders playoffs game that cost the Patriots the game.  What’s my point?  My point is we could play this “what if game” all day and night from now till the end of time.  Want a more recent example of what if?  How bout just this past season?  Specifically, how bout the fact that your Raven team might not even BE in the Playoffs this year if it weren’t for the fact that a bunch of dumb replacement refs handed them their victory earlier this season over the Patriots.

I know you made several other points like a commentary on “Beantown” and linking it to gaseous bodily excreations, but you know what… I’ve already wasted enough time with you.
