"Recent" isn't 2007...but if it is, I'm making perfect sense when I cite the 2005 game that the Chargers ran over the defending champs (your Pats) in. The Chargers like to beat their chest before the season? LOL, what have you been doing with your team? The Pats haven't won it all since 2004, and in between that time, they've been booted early 2-3 times, and ruined their perfect season by losing to Eli Manning and the Giants. You keep talking about how people won't leave you alone about your 49ers prediction (IIRC), but I can see why now. You've been gloating about the second or third best AFC team before, during AND after every season. Sorry, but the last game they played, the Pats barely won (by three). Your problem, which has become very evident over the last two weeks, is that all other teams are "shitty" (from the Jets to the Chargers, and anywhere in between), especially when they play your Pats. Then, it's the referees that lose all games for New England (hell, I believe you were bitching about the refs in the Week 1 Pats/Fins game, I'll see the post in a bit). When Cobb was talking about his Falcons... To Warren about his Seahawks... To AboveLegit about his Redskins and their problems... iBoldin said the beating the Jets gave the Pats proved the Pats were overrated (all he said), and three hours after the game, you make your first post in that game topic, saying... Dude, it's annoying. Thumbs up to your great regular-season team...not sure what else you want people to believe. And before you kick down the door and do what you do best, yeah, my Raiders are a mediocre team. Save it. There's a reason why most everyone on this board wants your Pats and 49ers to lose every game this season, and it's safe to say it's not always because of the teams or the players. The Niners don't mean a damn thing to me, in a different conference and irrelevant to everything I care about...but I'd love to see them go 0-16. I like Tom Brady, Wes Welker, but to see the Pats miss the playoffs, like they did three years ago (recently, right?), would be super.
