Sincere Condolences to Non-Patriots Fans

Twelve straight years of winning 10 or more...  While others dream.

I feel sorry for the folks who love another team.

Patriots are 10 and 3 and, currently, in 1st;

Even after San Diego's Chargers did their worst.

Defense for New England did their jobs (and even more.)

Jamie Collins in your face can make it hard to score.

Revis shut opponents down and Browner laid them low.

Bad officiating stole a touchdown from us, though.

Browner hit a guy so hard that he coughed up the ball;

Hit was legal but officials made a bullsh!t call.

Browner used his shoulder - which is bound to leave a mark -

In the end, however, that provided us the spark

Which the Offense needed to go out and seal the deal.

Chances we'll go undefeated, here on out, are real.

I don't wish to count my chickens well before they're hatched,

But the teams we've yet to play are badly over-matched.

A Nebbishy Patriots Fan

Though, of course, I'm happy that New England beat the Bills

It was at the cost of 3 important sets of skills.

Mayo (who's the leader of our Defense) left the game;

Stevan Ridley tore his ACL and now he's lame;

Connolly's concussed - and we still have to play the Jets.

Lucky that our quarterback's as good as someone gets.

Even with the changing line of players they throw in

Brady almost always finds another way to win.

Thursday night we play New York and those guys hate our guts;

Nothing would give them more pleasure than to kick our butts.

Once again I'm worrying...  Despite the fact we won.

Could someone remind me why I thought football was fun?

Patriots 43 - Bengals 17; Any Questions?

Last night in New England, 'neath a perfect Autumn moon,

Rumors of the Patriots' demise appeared too soon.

Era isn't over yet...  In Belichick we trust;

Confident the Hall of Fame will, one day, house his bust.

Patriots were pilloried in media and blogs,

Coming in to Sunday's game at home as 1 point dogs.

After this past week they've had of listening to crap

The New England Patriots were just about to snap.

You could not have paid me to be in the Bengals' shoes;

There was not a chance in hell the Patriots would lose.

Any stupid questions now about Garoppolo?

Just don't ask Bill Belichick...  He's on to Buffalo.

A Harsh Master of the Game

Don't know why New England fans are mad at Brandon Spikes.

I would guess that anyone Bill Belichick dislikes

Wouldn't find it easy to be playing football here.

Brandon made a joke on Twitter now he's naught to fear.

"4 years as a slave," he tweeted, yesterday, with glee.

Brandon left us for the Bills.  He says he's finally free.

Patriots don't like it when their players take a poke.

(Belichick benched Welker for his Ryan fetish joke.)

Bill is not all "warm and friendly..."  Not a "people guy."

But that isn't why New England loves him.  I won't lie;

He would scare me half to death and part way to the grave.

Still, I wouldn't call 3 million bucks a year a slave.

New England Patriots - A Sloppy Start

Watched some football yesterday; the Giants and the Pats.

Both of them looked sloppy - adding to turnover stats.

Fumbles made by Ridley left him sitting on the bench,

All alone as if he were exuding some foul stench.

Danny Amendola proved much tougher than I'd thought;

Even with his injury, dove through the air and caught

Passes that we needed to squeak out a narrow win.

Not the most auspicious way for my team to begin.

But at least we won our game; my husband's team did not.

They were even sloppier so there was not a shot

Giants had of winning. Nothing that Defense could do...

When their quarterback hit Dallas any time he threw.

Patriots are home on Thursday night to play the Jets;

Two teams with a rivalry as bitter as it gets.

Really hope that Edelman will get himself some rest;

Looks like we will need him if we want to beat our guest.

The New England Patriots - An Ugly Win is Still a Win

Even though the Patriots hung on to beat the Bills

I'm afraid my heart can't take these kind of late game thrills.

If you didn't care who won I'm sure the game was great.

When you like New England though, these are the kind you hate.

Our Defense is 29th - that's out of 32.

Bills are not the first team to come back; there've been a few.

Thank gods for McCourty and Fitzpatrick's awful throw...

Up until the end he put on an impressive show.

Brady's looking sharp again; he's also looking mad.

Screaming at poor Edelman when he did something bad.

Maybe he should take his temper out on Safeties first.

Don't know why they cannot stop deep passes.  Are they cursed?

What is it the sports gods want? They've got my sweat and tears.

I guess we appeased them with the volume of our cheers;

Bills did not come back to win despite how hard they tried...

Late game interception proved the gods were on our side.
