Undefeated So Far

I guess I am that guy, after all. That insufferable New England Patriots fan who sounds like that obnoxious hipster talking about craft beers. Sorry. It's hard not to come off as… condescending, I guess. (I'm doing it right now!) Insensitive? It is easy to lose perspective rooting for Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. (Oops! Doing it again. Sorry!) Let's be serious, though. Undefeated? Come on! It was just one game. They scored 51 points but still. Just. One. Game. Long way to go. Winning three games won't get you anything in this league.

It's a convenient story line, I suppose. The post-scandal Eff You seasons. They did it in 2007 following Spygate. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

16-0-0.

For their post-Deflategate encore?

How about the Patriots just put the ball in Tom Brady's hands and see what happens?

Karma Baby

So, is it true that what goes around actually does come around (yes, all the way back around)? Does what you put out in the universe eventually come back to you seven-fold? Karma, baby. You reap what you sow.

I'm looking at you, Indianapolis Colts.

A Good Start

The New England Patriots are 2-0-0. They just dropped a 40-burger on a divisional opponent, on the road. That's the good news. The better news is the already pretty good Patriots look like they can be much, much better.
 

The Heel Turn

I am really going to be able to enjoy this?
 
Do I have a choice?
 
Perhaps more importantly, when do the Patriots break out the black jerseys?

Second Thoughts

I know. It was just one game. Way too early. Lots of football to play. A game of inches. It is what it is. We're all day to day.

Crybabies

This looks like it's going to be fun.

Not that all teams can be beaten by a little co-channel interference and a shift on the defensive line.

Pigskin Picks 2015

Time for TSCIF's fearless NFL 2015 Pigskin Prognostications!

Did I say fearless? I think I may have meant feckless…

As David Letterman used to say (sort of) these predictions are provided for entertainment purposes only; please, no wagering.

Getting Ready to Begin

The good citizens of Patriots Nation know Bill Belichick is never done working the roster. For the moment though, we have a Final 53. What does it all mean?

Seriously. Does anybody really know?

Enjoying the Moment

So, everyone hates the Patriots and thinks they're cheaters but now I don't care.
