it's easier to see after the fact who are the good home teams. 3 of those 5 playoff games for the saints were decided by 3 points, so it could quite easily be a different story. and go back a little further and they are 5-3 at home...
why would going to new orleans for a playoff game be any harder than going to lambeau in sub-zero temperatures? just a statistical anomaly that the saints are 5-0 in their last 5, nothing even close to total dominance.

cant even remember all the former coaches and players who said they did the same stuff......the pats filmed GAMES from a location that was not allowed....and most said you couldnt really do that much with what you would gather from it anyway.....people act like the patriots were filming everyones practices every week and bugging their meeting rooms(at the other teams own facilities)
"In 2012, nearly five years removed from the incident, former Jets head coach Eric Mangini stated that "I think when you look at the history of success that [the Patriots] had after that incident, it’s pretty obvious that it didn’t play any type of significant role in the victories [the Patriots] had or the success that [the Patriots] had."[17] As of the conclusion of the 2011 NFL season, the Patriots had the best record in the NFL since Spygate, compiling a 48-16 record from 2008-11 (the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints were second best over that span at 45-19)"Comment -
^^ ah, the old "we cheated but so did everyone else, and it didn't do any good anyway" argument.

No Seattle? They may have home field through the NFC playoffs. If so, they are the NFC favs.
Who can be this years ravens?Comment -
They broke a rule of where they can have some 25 year old video production intern stand and point a camera. Doesn’t kick 45 yard field goals in snow storms, doesn’t shut down Peyton’s Colts, doesn’t force turnovers, doesn’t return punts, and smart teams who understood that signals could be stolen with or without a camera routinely changed signals as preventative measure. It’s why virtually all NFL coaches from Bill Cowher to Jimmy Johnson and others have never blown up “spygate” like ESPN and the fans who were left in the Patriots’ wake have over the past decade. Those coaches have vehemently downplayed the significance of what happened and Jimmy Johnson went so far as to admit that he too did the same thing. A guy that won 2 Super Bowls with the Cowboys says he did it and no one cares because you are all too obsessed with the New England Patriots continued greatness. Love it.Comment -
well they did film from the sidelines...which was forbidden.....it would take alot for them to take that footage and put it to use during said game.....but im sure the anti patriots wahoos will have figured out a way for it to work....
so the patriots have lost playoff games...in a perfect world they would win every game they ever played....especially in the age of "parity"......look at some of you people...its as if you really expect the patriots to never lose in the playoffs....no one should even try...i guess thats a testament to the bar that they have setComment -
"New Orleans is the second hardest place to play in the entire league"
that is such a random statement that has no facts to back it up. over a 10-year stretch through 2012 the saints were 45-37 on the road and 46-37 at home, so it must not be as hard as you think if the saints have the same record at home and on the road...

its actually funny....today i see, in other places, people still taking digs at the pats
some even going as far as to say "look at solder getting away with a choke hold on the last play....wheres the flag"...blah blah
then i look at this picture and all i think about is how you hear "brady choked...the pats choked hahaha"
Comment -
heenan, people take digs at every team, that's the nature of fans.
you probably see more digs at the patriots because you are looking at them/for them.
i hear mostly comments about the packers because that is the nature of the milwaukee area...Comment -
You are an absolute idiot and I mean we see a lot of Payton dik riders here but they usually don't go this far. While I agree, this year patriots are not that good and are a bit lucky to be 5-1. I won't get into the Super Bowl debate, there are many other teams who I would pick this year to win than patriots but they are still contenders based on injuries and such.
People keep bringing up spy gate and how because of spygate patriots were good. You guys do know that after spyware they are like 80-24 or something and still have one of the best records. They have won five division titles out of six and have gone to two Super Bowls. Their defense hasn't been great in the past few years either as you claim so.
So what is your point? His record post spygate isn't good enough? Which other team had similar success?Comment -
Did someone just say the patriots punishment was greater than the saints punishment for bountygate.
omfg.Comment -
cmon man....lets be real...sure you can go anywhere and hear digs at your favorite team...but the pats are one of the most hated teams in sports...people hate us and our fans....you can go on any non local based site...like here...profootballtalk....and everytime you do youll hear a bunch of retards talking about spygate or some other bullshit about how brady or belichick suck.....youll hear a bunch of people say brady is nothing without belichick....then youll hear another group who say belichick is nothing without brady...it happens everydayComment -
i understand...and that was my point
thats why i thought it was stupid for mike to say that pats hate only exists because im looking for it
they beat the saints and everyone is crying about how the saints handed them the game....and people are crying about a non holding call on solder....nobody cries when the giants dont get flagged for blatant holding on a miracle play thoughComment -
I hate the Patriots as I am a Bills fan but Brady is the best qb of all time IMO and why does everyone talk Ab his elite defenses they had a WR playing Corner..... And why does no one mention Peyton having two Hall of Fame Caliber receivers compared to David Patten and Deon Branch or Troy Brown, Or 70 year old Antwan Smith vs The EdgeComment -
Pre season i had Seahawks Broncos I see no reason to get off them now.Comment -
If your going to include the Donkeys then you need to put my Queef's on there as well. We've played five of the six opponents the Broncos have played and are unbeaten just like the Broncos ... just sayin
