Brady just curls up and falls down if he's under any pressure

If we keep winning there will be no rest for Brady in week 17 and we could cost them a bye as well For today, go Bengals!

To me this game is about hits on Brady and Edelman

I still think NE wins this game but the Bengals are a 1 win team It wouldn't even have been close in the past

people used to say Brady wasn't that great, it was all the system, and all he did was throw screen passes Win and the story changes eventually. Except Rivers. He's a HOFer in everyone's book and he hasn't won squat.

players are getting smart All you have to do if you're on a losing team is say/do something that's terrible PR for your team and you get cut and get to go join NE, KC, or SF I'll bet Bell going bowling and then talking about it was an attempt to get himself to NE or KC

This makes me wonder.... ASSUMING you have at least a halfway decent coach and give him 10 years, will you experience some sustained success? Hell, Marvin Lewis took the Bengals to multiple playoffs, but never won. IMO Cowher was just OK. He was good, but not some sort of all-time great. Lindy Ruff was the same thing in hockey. Great motivator, fan favorite, but mediocre head coach. But the Sabres did have some success under him. Tomlin is a better coach, especially for today's players. Coaches used to get multiple losing seasons before they got fired. Now it's win in 2-3 years or you're gone. There is a LOT to be said for having a system, drafting players for that system, and having some consistency in approach, methods, messaging. I'd like to see McDermott be here for 10+ years. He's proven to be a great strategic coach, he can motivate players, and beyond that it comes down to talent IMO.

Why is Jackson still in this game? Dumb

Useless Jets better not win this game

The cool thing is we get to see Go prove them wrong

Doug Pederson could be in trouble depending on how Philly does... lots of weird stories there

It sounds like they are going to up the playoffs to 7 teams per conference with only 1 bye To me, that makes the most sense. The best 14 teams in the league get into the tournament. Sometimes wonky things happen, but that doesn't mean you need to change the system.

Reputation and perception cannot be controlled and aren't up to the league. Outside of Boston this story is a reminder that NE cheats. Maybe it wasn't "that bad" this time around, maybe it was. Does it matter? This is why you have to win the hardware. Peyton Manning is sitting on his couch watching Brees and Brady vie to break his career passing record and there isn't a thing he can do about it. But win Super Bowl 54 and some guy can come in and throw for 75 TDs and 7000 yards in a season and you still will always be SB 54 champions.

Ravens will lock up the #1 seed with a win vs the Jets and WHEN we go into NE and put the dynasty down next week! First, we have some other business to attend to this Sunday night. If the Ravens end up sitting guys and that allows Pittsburgh in then I'm fine with it. Tomlin has always been a favorite of mine and I would be happy to see him get some kudos. Unfortunately this Sunday we're going to have to ruin his day, but I've got no issue with Pittsburgh getting in as the #6 unless it makes NE's path easier.

Punishment is irrelevant. The good part is that this is another very public reminder of who these guys are

Lol Very true!

I'm in favor going forward until NE is out of the Superbowl running

that article details the reasons why so many people hate NE so much Can you imagine American sports fans hating Mahomes and Reid if the Chiefs won 3 of the next 4 Super Bowls? Or if Peyton Manning had won a few more titles, would everyone have hated him and Dungy? Of course not. It's the DOCUMENTED CHEATING combined with timely BS calls AND the "undisputable GOAT" talk that makes so many of us sick.

either way, it's another reminder that NE is a bunch of cheating scum. It further tarnishes their legacy. Whatever slap on the wrist the NFL comes up with pales in comparison to reminding everyone that the Patriots are a bunch of cheaters.

Brady literally drops down to the ground the second pressure gets anywhere near him... He's got a busted up elbow and a foot injury. Let's get them a 4th loss when we play them, then they lose out on a bye if KC wins out. Plus they will need to play all 17 weeks. No resting starters. No week off to heal. And on top of all that, they will likely draw the 6th seed team in the Wild Card round, which this year could very well be the physical Titans team. The Titans will tune them up a bit, and IF they get through that one, it's on the road to KC or Baltimore.

this bunch of cheaters needs to be put down hard this playoff season (or sooner) It's time Enough is enough.

the latest developments sound like the league is likely to believe the Patriots' explanation and nothing will happen, aside from everyone knowing once again that they are cheating scum. But no league penalty! Bengals should release the video if that's true and nothing happens

well, now NE will get all mad at the world and win the Super Bowl again also on the "why the Bengals?" topic... When you get arrogant you get sloppy. Happens all the time. Everything has pretty much worked out for NE seemingly forever now, so they got comfortable again, got sloppy, and got caught.

"where's he standing?" Belichick during the Superbowl regarding McVay Yup. No value to these videos. Totally innocent. What if Taylor is OC of the Chiefs next year? Suddenly it's not just the Bengals

I would have to have my smile surgically removed. I know this is going to sound bad, but I think I hate the Patriots as much as I love the Bills at this point. It is what it is. That team has ruined football for 20 years for me. Every December/January everything is through the lens of "who has the best chance to stop NE from getting back to the Super Bowl?" I just want to enjoy the games again.
