If you recall the SB during deflate gate, the Hawks were up by 10 (late) against NE and then should have won the game at the Goal Line. Additionally, the Hawks defense was really banged up (as we found out later), so the deflate gate distraction really should have cost the Pats the SB. The fact that it didn't, does not mean the distraction was not real and/or did not work against them.



    Ok, so, in your words, deflategate, which SHOULD have been a distraction, ended up NOT being one, and the benching of Butler DID end up being one.   What's your reasoning for that?

    Butler sucks,  he lacked disciplined and deserved to be bench, he is not the reason the Patriots lost last year.

    That Rams defense that "isn't as good as the Eagles", just held the Saints to under 300 total yards in the Superdome.  They've allowed 49 yards rushing per game at 2.3 per carry while facing Zeke Elliott, Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram.  They allow under 220 yards passing per game in games that Talib has started.  I think their defense will be very good on Sunday.

    Butler was benched because he was not up to snuff.

    he was average at best this year.

    It was just Philly's year. Pats played great the benching didn't cause them to lose. The game was neck and neck, they lost because Brady got sacked and fumbled. what does a CB have to do with that?

    The elephant in the room that NOBODY anywhere is talking about is if the Pats win what excuse would Brady have this time for not going to the Whitehouse to meet Trump? In this day and age it’s about being politically correct. That has to be on Brady’s mind going to the Whitehouse and having pictures being taking with Trump. Think that plays into capping this game?

    I cannot see Rams triumphing over Brady/BB. Tried and tested. This saying will go in the history books - "never bet against Tom Brady".

    Full disclosure fellas, I saw a dream/nightmare last night in which the Rams were killing the Pats, and it wasn't even halftime. Shades of the Falcons game but worse. Rams were running all kinds of trick plays Pats were not ready for. Hope it was just a bad dream.

Think that plays into capping this game?


    No...I figure on the list of things to think about to win this game, your suggestion of taking a picture with trump is about 2064 things down.
