Sincere Condolences to Non-Patriots Fans

Patriots Super Bowl Trophy During the patriots-jaguars


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.

The New England Patriots - We Was Robbed

(Photo/www.PatsPulpit.com)

Patriots, at Carolina Monday Night, were robbed.
Panthers held Gronkowski in the end zone - he was mobbed.
Back judge threw the flag, which gave the Pats another play...
Then another ref stepped in and put the flag away.

They did not explain the reason why they didn't call
Holding that prevented Gronk from going for the ball.
They just said the game was over - then ran off the field.
Brady had to chase them down and, though he's even-keeled,

He appeared to lose it. TV viewers heard him swear.
I can't say I blame him since it, clearly, wasn't fair.
Here at home I also called the ref a dirty name.
Patriots deserved another chance to win the game.

The New England Patriots - Just Pay The Man

 Rob Gronkowski SI Cover

My New England Patriots played Wednesday - didn't win.
Refs called a receiver out when he was clearly in.
Lost it to World Champions; The New York football Giants.
*(Made a bet with Mr. S. and, therefore, in compliance

With the terms on which we shook, I have to call them that.
If I'd won he had to throw away his Yankees hat.)
Belichick cares more about deciding who to cut.

Doesn't give the game away before the season starts.
'til then all his players are so many moving parts.
Once it counts, this football master plays the game like chess.
I am very confident he'll win a lot, unless...

There is really something to the S.I. cover curse.
Football is so dangerous and bad calls make it worse.
Plus, it isn't only Gronk; there's Madden's cover too.
Time to tell Commissioner Goodell what he should do;

Pity the replacement refs; their jobs can't be much fun.
Sure, it was amusing - once - but now pre-season's done.
Now the games begin to count. Bring back real referees.
Not as if they've asked for much.  Just pay them...  Pretty please?
