I hate the Pats. I hate all Boston teams (Red Sux, Celtics, even the Bruins. I hate Brady(but I love Belichick). I am tired of seeing them win. I want soooooo badly for KC to win this game.
Who else wants KC to win?
Who is rooting for the Pats?
I cant wait for both Brady and Bill to retire and the Pats fall into obscurity. Brady and Bill make that team great once they are gone the rest of the org will stumble and fall.
Also, I'm a big proponent to get the "feel good" story out of the way while the Giants are out of it. At some point, Andy Reid is going to win a Super Bowl. I'd rather have him do it this year as I hold out hope for the Giants to get it going again and get back to the Super Bowl.
And I still love watching Brady in big games.
It’s a very had thing to do in all walks of life - business, sports, politics, relationships, etc.
Seeing the Pats figure out another way to put themselves in a position to win the brass is remarkable. So I will root for them.
But I’m really rooting for anyone but the Saints because I so dislike that two-faced scum Sean Payton.
No, Nick Foles beat them.
That Patriots players are now going around promoting a "nobody believes in us" mentality is absurd.
This year I'm hoping for the Chiefs. I have grown to appreciate Andy Reid since he left Philly and would like to see him win.
While I don't hate the Pats, and actually like Belichick, enough is enough. Their "one more" should have been last year but whatever.
I can't stand Sean Payton either. So in terms of winning the whole thing my order of preference is as follows.
KC
LA
NE
NO
Quietly rooting for K.C.
That Patriots players are now going around promoting a "nobody believes in us" mentality is absurd.
Maybe because nobody does lol. This is an extremely average Patriots team that a lot of experts expected to lose last week. And a lot of people here did as well.

Well, the Giants aren’t winning anything until they select a QB in the first round and move on from Eli. So the longer we wait for that, the longer we have to root for these feel good stories. For one, I can’t take another season of this nonsense without hope for the future.

I think a lot of it is hope more than an educated prediction. You hope Brady is done, you hope Belichick won't find a way to neutralize (insert player) and it gets passed off as an expert prediction.
No doubt Brady is slowing down, but in big games I'm not picking against him until he proves me wrong.
Haha, i've never heard that one before.
If Nick Foles hadn't beaten them it would.
Eli's HOF chances are pretty much dead at this point but that's another topic.
2. Gotta root for ex-Giant Bill Belichek who still bleeds blue and got us two super bowls.
3. I like Tom Brady - GOAT of qb's
4. Andy Reid is still and Eagle
With that said I wouldnt be upset if KC won considering their drought and great fan base and they play outdoors in the cold!!
You have to admit, the run by the Pats is more than the equivalent of the Celtics, Yankees, Canadians dynasties.....especially, when you factor in, NONE OF THOSE TEAMS, had to play 3 rounds of playoff games/series, just to get to the Championship game/series!
Since 2001, the will Pats have appeared in the Championship game, 13 out of 18 times, and will have played in the AFC title game, the last 8 years....
I posted this awhile back.....will history repeat itself? The last two times the Patriots lost an AFC Championship game, a strange thing happened.....in both seasons, the Pats controlled their destiny, by having home field advantage.....but in BOTH seasons, the Pats lost their second game against the Dolphins, and because of that, did not secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs.....that meant they had to play both championship games on the road in Denver.....in 2013, the Pats played Denver during the season, and won in OT at Foxboro....in 2015, they played again during the season, with Denver winning in OT in Denver.....so it was critical for BOTH teams to have home field advantage for that final game....and in both seasons, the lowly Dolphins gave that advantage to Denver.....
And what happened this year? The Pats beat KC in Foxboro during the season.....but once again, the Pats lost to the Dolphins, AGAIN! And because of that, they must play the game on the road in KC, instead of friendly Foxboro.....
Is there any denying the fact, that the Pats would have an advantage in Foxboro? So will history repeat?
That being said, I will not in any way be surprised if it is Saints v. Pats.

as if they have never been there before. They've only made the AFC title game that last 8+ seasons. And it's not like KC is a 10pt favorite. They are -3 going into KC, which is basically a pick em game. They aren't the '07 Giants going up against an undefeated team, so let's cool it with the "us against the world" mentality they are trying to display.
it certainly is "us against BBI"!
When I was growing up, I was a Yankee fan.....and I couldn't understand why everyone hated them....yes, of course Boston fans hated them, but non Boston fans hated them to....so this "us against the world" mentality has existed for any team that has been successful....If BB became the HC of the Giants instead of the Pats, and had similar success, BBI would be in it's glory for the last 18 years....and everyone would hate the Giants....and yes, successful teams all have insufferable fans that gloat....it's human nature....
...with the greatest NFL Coach of all time. (And no close runner-up).
New England in an upset.
If KC wins, Reid gets the monkey off his back, Mahomes is looked upon as the next Goat, and a new dynasty is born.
That is why I will root for the Pats.

If by dead you mean he's pretty much a lock, then yes...
Just as long as we don't have to deal with back-to-back headaches because the Saints ended this year long nightmare, I'm fine with NE winning it all again.
