I would like to send a big Thank You to the Patriots

Thanks for the distraction, thanks for getting almost all the negative attention, the Media is slobbering over your deflated balls and leaving Lynch and the rest of the team alone for the most part. I am sure next week will be interesting as well but with the pre production focusing on you all we were able to get a lot more work done here I think.

Again Thanks. I heard they have a pump for when you are losing performance, Pats may want to check that out!

I'm not saying thanks. The Patriots are the "bad guys" this year. That's the role that the Seahawks held last year and it served them well.

It is rather funny if you ask me. Then in the game they will get their asses kicked, and after that the hammer....Hahahahahaha

Definitely a distraction, but Belichick's a mad genius, he'll figure out a way to turn this into a motivation.

Either way, if the Patriots and their fans think this witch hunt is crazy now, just wait until next week when every single media person on the planet is there trying to get the players to talk about it.

I guess we'll have to make due with being the underdog again. That seemed to work out quite well iirc so I'm not worried.

Yes. Moreover, he's the most vengeful coach I've ever seen.

Seems like everyone will be rooting for the Hawks. No one wants the bad guys to win.

Agree OP - it is just like last year when everyone was talking about Sherman and that turned out to be a HUGE distraction for Seattle...... :sarcasm_off:

Last year we were hunters, this year the hunted.

I don't want anyone saying that we whooped the Pats because they were distracted by Deflategate.

Way to already try and tarnish the coming ass-beating you're getting, New England. No wonder the whole country hates you.

That's the weirdest 65/35 I've ever seen.
