Top 10 reasons Colts fans hate the Patriots: Revisited

[Capt. Obvious]

10. Even during seasons the Patriots were terrible, they still beat the Colts

From 1990-92, the Patriots had nine wins — total.

Four were against the Colts.

Woof.

....

7. They signed Reggie Wayne

Seriously? After the offseason acrimony between the two teams, the Patriots went out and trolled Colts Nation by signing one of the franchise’s all-time beloved players.

Luckily for Reggie, his stay in New England was brief (two preseason games). Though on Wayne’s way out the door, former New England QB and blindly ardent Patriots defender Scott Zolak said the former Colts WR wanted out because playing for the Patriots “was too tough and not fun.”

Either that or Reggie’s conscience got the best of him.

4. Noted Superfan Joeybee

The man loudly announces to no one in particular that he's putting people on ignore. Typically in response to someone posting a news article.

Continues to taunt non-Patriots fans that he has placed on ignore.

He's the poster child for the stereotypical bad Patriots fan.

2. I see what you did there.

You linked to a site that makes you answer one of those stupid surveys to continue , so we'll never know for sure that you made up the part about Joeybee.

4. Boston sports fans were on the list.

Although the author did stretch out New England's cheating to 3 points on his list. And that's if you don't count allowing the field to become a marsh before a big game to disadvantage the Colts' offense.

7. The whiners got their ass kicked 45-7 playing with

the same footballs after being "tipped off" by the Ravens (murderer/liar on their team and kept him).

I ALMOST look forward to this game more than the SB as I hope the Pats run up the score 70-3.

I only wish the game was in NE but our fans don't forget.

How are the Seahawks doing? I love it!

8. Why did Wayne find it too tough to play for the Patriots?

He played in the complicated Manning system for years. In New England, it's simple. Step one: take air out of football. Step two: win. It's really simple. Now that the NFL is closely monitoring the ball inflation, I suspect the Patriots will be back to 8-8 in no time. I like the Colts chances this weekend in a fair game with proper ball inflation played in INDY.

11. If the football deflation was the reason

The pats were winning games, now that the balls are now monitored by the eminently competent nfl staff, you can be sure that won't be an issue any longer. All things being equal now brady will throw a lot more picks and the pats will fumble a lot more. The low ball deflation enabled them to avoid those turnovers in previous years, or so I was told.

12. Got Ya

I don't believe it either. My biggest reason, despite the journeyman on ESPN saying otherwise, is that Aaron Rodgers says he likes the footballs at the upper end. So, either Rodgers is willfully trying to put his team at a competitive disadvantage, or 2 psig doesn't matter. Can't be both.

And, (iirc the range is 12.5 to 14.5) i can't accept that 12.3 (0.2 psig below the lower limit) is an advantage but 2.0 psig is not a disadvantage.

Lastly, i think the 12.5 to 14.5 came from a design engineer at Wilson who told the league what the bladder was designed to do for optimal performance. Since i doubt that engineer is an NFL quarterback, the values are arbitrary.
