Why All The Hate Toward The Patriots?

52-7. Reason enough for me.

Man this is fun I never seen so many people worked up over a team playing like no other team. I'm cheering for the Pats because I think its funny how it ticks everyone of. Pats 16 and 0 so you Dolphins fans better stick those corks back in the bottle.

I think it's the fact that "THEY GOT CAUGHT CHEATING". That definitely couldn't be helping.

Once a team is caught cheating, that's it for me. I could care less if "there's some form of cheating going around on every team". Bottom line: you cheat, you suck. You do not deserve to field a team until all people involved are removed indefinitely from the team.

Same goes for the Redskins, btw.

I like the Patriots. They are a TEAM. They play football the way it should be played. Starters playing special teams, defensive players getting in on offense and not just to block. Have you a heard a word out of Randy Moss since he has gone to New England? No, because it wouldn't be tolerated on that TEAM. The Jets and Fish have no chance to beat the Pats. The Giants will rest most of their starters so any chance that they will pull an upset is out of the question.

I used to really, really respect the Pats. They are a well coached and run franchise. They are extremely successful on the field. But, for the very same reasons why I respect people such as Art Monk and Joe Gibbs, I despise guys like Belichick. Some people don't really care about character, but I do (that's not directed at you 12th man).

He's also getting plenty of catches and the team is winning.

It's when things go sour that he acts up. All is well when he's getting his catches.

i used to like them until they beat San Diego last year and acted like assholes to a team with a lot of class

Right, besides that pit stop in Oakland where he pouted his way out of town.

I didn't take it personally, and I totally understand the statement on the value of character.

But my thing is, I'm not too sure the Patriots are guilty of anything that hasn't been a part of the NFL culture for a long, long time.

As far as the character of the Pats? I'll say this - while they haven't done much to endear football fans to them, I can't really say they don't have character either.
