Godslay, the Seahawks broke you. And I can't even tell whether they did more damage this year or last.
The Seahawks are a legitimate franchise who beat the Broncos fairly in a world class ass whooping. It was one of the better defenses of all time, defeating the best offense of all time. Our defense was injured dogshit (good enough to defeat a choking Brady), and Russ took us to the cleaners.
The Seattle team of last year was a busted unit, not even in the same realm as that of the prior year. It's no surprise that the Pats fluked themselves to a win (in a game they shouldn't have been in, in the first place) against an injured less talented team.
Now I know that you and yours consider this to be hyperbole. That's fine. Most would regard this as an accurate account of what went down.
If that makes me broken then so be it. I just feel like the next generation of Pats fans deserve a clean slate with no ties to any of the terrible crimes the Pats have committed. You obviously can't whitewash history, but at least give the new generation a chance to rebuild their franchise's ailing, tainted reputation.
They deserve a second chance just like Mike Vick, it's only fair.
Just imagine how different he would be if the Broncos had destroyed the Seahawks and Brady had thrown a pick at the goal line at the end of SB 49...
Win, lose, or draw, the Pats will always be ignoble opponents.
As for winning or losing to everyone else? As long as they are gracious to me, then the favor will be returned.
Only thing to redeem the Pats in my mind is to admit their sins, ask for repentance, and prove to the world that they can fly straight.
