Is this not the price to be paid for having a successful organization?Think back:When the Packers had their 1960's run, you had your Packers lovers and Packers haters.When the Cowboys had their 1970's run, you had your Cowboys lovers and Cowboys haters.When the Steelers had their 1970's run, you had your Steelers lovers and Steelers haters.When the Redskins had their 1980's run, you had your Redkins lovers and Redskins haters.When the 49ers had their 1980's run, you had your 49ers lovers and 49ers haters.When the Cowboys had their 1990's run, you had more Cowboys lovers and Cowboys haters.Think of it like this:In 2003-2004, would you rather be RaidersFan? ChargersFan? LionsFan? CardinalsFan?Enjoy the run. The Pats are a great team this year. But with the success will come attempts from ????Fan to verbally knock them since their (our) seasons are over.

Good enough, and sure there will always be sour grapes by other fans but when the propieters fuel the fire it is starting to get a little out of hand.

Hey, they deserve their fun, too.I imagine it could get a little boring for the FBG's to be verbally beating up on each other all the time.They should be allowed to come and play in the sandbox every once in a while.After all, I assume they are fans of some NFL team somewhere. If not, It might be a good business practice to fall in behind at least one NFL team.

This is why Patriot fans get a bad rap. I practically bent over backwards saying how I thought the Pats deserved those wins. But you can't tell me that at the time Brady lost the ball you were saying "No problem, it will be reversed because of the Tuck rule."Before that game no one had ever heard of the Tuck Rule. I was watching that game with 10 avid NFL fans and not one of them, including a guy from Boston, thought it wasn't a fumble. Why can't Pats fans just admit that they were lucky to get a call that was seldom, if ever, called?

I say we were lucky all the time. Thank God there was such a thing as a tuck rule, and that there was ancient enough refs of the field that had actually heard of it! It is what we did with our renewed chance that was impressive.We all know it is a bad rule...and that the owners did not change it the following year, for it would have admitted that they were wrong. The Pats should not be penalized though about the rule that they did not write, or enforce. It was a league rule enforced by league refs. Any other team in the same position would have done the same thing the Patriots did.We have seen instances of the Tuck rule before though, they just never called it that. There was a Monday night Pats Rams game where Warner did the same thing, and it saved him too.

I am so glad that our football team isn't as "sensitive" as some of our fans. Now you're reduced to whining about being called a whiner...JEEESH. You're taking it all WAY too personally...

Winners-whiners. Why does it seem the winning teams fans are always called whiners? CAll me what you want, but my team is in the AFC championship, and I'll be donning my lucky jersey for the game. It's my Pats jersey that I wear for each game, but only wash after losses (to wash away the losing). Well, it's getting pretty funky about now, but I'll don it for game day, and yep, I'll whine about it if we lose. I don't know what I'll whine about, but it will be something. For the record, warming the ball in those conditions would have been useless to begin with. By the time the ball hits the field, is placed on the frozen ground, snapped, and then kicked, it is going to be pretty much back at the ambient temp, and hard as a rock. Or wait. Was it a special heater, that produced lasting heat? maybe they rubbed it with a chemical compound that generated heat when contacted with snow crystals laying on grass. THATS IT!!!!!! That's how he made the kick.

Just a couple of points:1. Don't stand near me with that jersey on.2. The heated ball discussion is dead.

2, 3 maybe 4 years ago the nfl decided to have it where kickers/punters, everyone alike could not do anything w/ a football before a kick. they couldn't massage the ball, warm it, wet it, squeeze it, squeeze it, and all the weird things that kickers would do to the ball so basically you kick w/ a new ball each time believe it or not.some say the theory behind this was so kickoffs wouldn't be so long, thus there would be more kickoffs and punts returned for long yards. has it worked? i have no stats to say rather it have or not as kickers are still making 50+ field goals.

Ah, those were the days...

Holy bump...

46 yarder in sub-zero temps....yeah he probably had some "help"

I thought that single extra point looked kind of suspicious

The Patriots cheat at every opportunity. 10 years of smoke there's fire.

I heard they try and keep the other team from figuring out what play they are going to run next! Secret hand signals, covering their mouths on the sideline, etc. The humanity!

Those dirty Colts signed a cheating kicker, typical.
