why does everyone hate the Patriots?

because they are jealous, and their teams have lost to the Patriots...

First of all, I can't stand Brady. He was a mediocre QB at best in college. He ends up going to the Patriots in the later rounds, with little chance of ever starting over (at then) the hall of fame bound Bledsoe. He gets all the credit in a Super Bowl game that Bledsoe should have played and still won. Bledsoe gets shipped out and eventually drops out of football. Is Brady really that good? Would he have been any better if he didn't have the great offensive line or the targets? Would the Patriots even have a chance this year without Moss?

Tuck Rule?!?!?! Does anyone else remember the bogus rule that cost the Raiders out of a Superbowl? I'm sorry for blaming the Patriots for this, but some bought out ref was paid by the Patriots on that dumb play. (cheaters)

Randy Moss. Does anyone else remember how much of a thug he was in college? A ball hog, and troublemaker. Sure he has athletic talent, but so does Michael Vick. Where did that get him? Also, what's going to happen when the Patriots start to lose some games and Moss gets frustrated with Brady? I can't wait until all hell breaks lose, even if it takes until next year.

I'm not going to blabber on about the Patriots being cheaters, even though they were. I will say that I am slightly jealous of the fact that other teams are foolish enough to allow them to have multiple first round picks in the last several years, and also allow the team to snatch marquee players out of free agency. The Patriots have become the New York Yankees of the NFL. What sucks even more is that the rest of the league is allowing them to do it.

As for all the other teams, it sucks to be you because I don't think anything is going to stop the Pats this year. Good luck Steelers. Good luck Colts. Good luck NFC. Good luck underdogs. To hell with the Patriots.

As a local Indy gal, I love my Colts. And I use to not hate the Patriots....dislike yes, but hate I didn't.

Not till the last few seasons, because for them as a team it's not enough to win they have to humiliate you and then complain about every little thing not going right or complaining about sound being pumped into the RCA dome. I hate them because not only are they sore losers they are super ore winners.

I hate watching the Colts lose, but every fan hates seeing their team lose. But as the other team ie the Patriots have some class and at least shake the other coaches hand or not complain about something that if it had happened wouldn't matter anyway cause you won.

Because they cheated and were the only ones punished for it. Even though it's been done for a long time by other teams.

That's like bounty hunting that got brush under the rug quickly. Miami last year picked up hints by eves dropping on radio communications of the Pat's. That' was brushed under the rug. The list goes on and on.

That's like the compliant about pumped in noise!!! Colts fans were all up an arms over it. Saying the Pat's made it up. However the Steelers and Jets have had the same complaint. Why didn't we hear about it before this year??? Sweep sweep sweep.

NO wonder the Patriots are taking no prisoners when they can. I would be too.

A lot of people I know feel like since they have been caught cheating twice they should've been given much stiffer punishments. Another thing is just how cocky Tom Brady comes off and people just get tired of hearing how great he is. I think he's a real talented quarterback and nobody can deny that they are an incredible team, but I won't cheer for a group that gets caught cheating - and then turns around and does it right away again.

Because their winners, just like everyone hated the cboys in the 90's and the yankees, and the lakers, and the celtics when they were winning all their championships. I give it about another 5 years then the pats will loose all their good players to retirement and free agency and they'll just be an average team again, and a few years after that people will forget everything and start liking them again, just like what happened with the cowboys and celtics.

Because the Patriots are awesome. The weapons that Brady has in incredible. New England has taken 2 teams from their perfect records (Colts and Cowboys.) Not everyone can be first, someone always has to come in last

*ahem* Dolphins *ahem* *cough*

A lot of it is probably jealousy, but the fact that their coach cheated doesn't help matters. People tell their children that cheaters never win. I think we don't like it when the opposite is true.

i don't hate the pats, i admire them. what they have done in this era of free agency and salary caps is the envy of the league. they are a model franchise.

i don't think the spy-cam thing is that big of a deal and don't consider them cheaters.

HOWEVER, this season they are making it look so easy and are clearly such a superior team, i WANT to see them lose. i'll be pulling for their opponent every week. call it the david and goliath syndrome. nobody wants to see goliath win, right? same thing with the pats!

I only hate (sorry hate is a bad word)

I only dislike them this week.
