And you wonder why people hate the pats and their fans.
Cause and effect. This is what happens in the face of 16 years of people denying the stratospheric success of a historic franchise.
"Brady's a system quarterback. Take away the tuck rule, he's got nothing."
"Bellichick is no big deal, take away Brady..."
"They filmed the opposing bench 15 feet away from where they could leagally film the bench, their wins don't count."
"Some guy caught a football with his head, that proves the team is a fraud."
"I failed eighth grade science, they are cheaters."
"They can only win Superbowls by three points, they aren't that good."
"Their division is bad (because I haven't bothered to look up the statistics), that's why they won five Superbowls."
As a team, they face as much stupid criticism as I can remember.
