The Patriots are the best team in the NFL!

[uppityperson]

1. winning the Superbowl does not make them "best". eom

[trumad]

2. uhhh...yeah it does.

[Agschmid]

3. For this year... It does.

[Warren Stupidity]

4. You are right. They really should have a tournament that decides the best team.

[Dr. Strange]

7. That's not how you decide who's the best.

You need a BCS-style system with computers, polls, and Skip Bayless commentary.

10. Or maybe a series of playoff games with the winners advancing ...

until the last two surviving teams meet to decide a champion.
Wait … whut?

[Warren Stupidity]

11. that's crazy talk. Nobody would watch something like that, it would take WEEKS!

5. For purposes of this bet it does

but given the beset two out of three I'd still bet Seattle wins out. Can't understand that call that lost the game...........

[MohRokTah]

8. Yes, it does.

It's sad, really. They didn't need to cheat to be the best. They just had to play the way they play.

Some of the games may have ended up closer had they not cheated all year long, but they would have still ended up as the best team in the NFL.

9. The patriots problem last night was defense against the seahawks not offense.

Any theory that their offense was enhanced by cheating is full of fail. For example, where were all the fumbles? For two weeks people have been claiming that their low fumble rate was simply due to under-inflated footballs, not that they actually had any evidence of under-inflated footballs for any game except one, but that was the claim. For example: Brady threw for a superbowl record number of completions. Hmmmm.... not impacted at all by non-deflated footballs. The air seems to have gone out of deflategate, and all we are left with is the bitter dead-enders desperately clinging to some hopeless factless theory.

12. Hah

Some of the games may have ended up closer had they not cheated all year long, but they would have still ended up as the best team in the NFL.

Closer?

You mean like the game against the Ravens when they were supposedly still "cheating" and didn't blow them out?


And closer, like when they killed the Colts in the second half supposedly after the balls were properly inflated?


And how come they didn't cheat against Kansas City? Especially when I'm sure they knew they didn't exactly have a championship-level team at that point?
