I understand and appreciate your distaste for the New England Patriots.
Maybe the word distaste is an understatement and should be replaced by the words screaming hatred.
Anyway, please note that I don't share your enthusiasm when the Patriots lose a game or are accused of cheating more than other teams allegedly cheat. But I certainly don't mind admiring the circus they create by winning games and inspiring accusations of impropriety.
With that in mind, I'm here to assist in building a reasonable case against the Patriots relative to their potential success during the upcoming season. Unfortunately, we have some work to do; according to the sharpies in Vegas, the Pats are favored to win the next Super Bowl.
But the anti-Patriots crowd may have karma on its side.
Yeah, that would be the not-quite-infallible jinx attached to NFL teams returning to action following a Super Bowl defeat. With recent history as our touchstone, please note that six of the last seven Super Bowl losers failed to make the playoffs the following season.
