Those two teams never ever try and burn the clock out like we do. They are always trying to score more points.
It would be a character issue if NE was playing dirty like the old Raider teams did. I don't ever see NE's players getting flags thrown for personal fouls or unsportsmenlike conduct.

Exactly. You know we talk a lot about playing until the whistle blows, but that's just lip service when your team is on the other side of the ball, isn't it? And this is this is why the Pats are head and shoulders above the rest this year, they have a "no mercy" attitude. Are they still pissed about the whole Spy Gate thing, you damn right they are. They are sending a message loud and clear, we're the best team in football cameras or no cameras.
But to your point, if they were playing dirty then I would have some issues with them, but they are just guilty of playing hard-nosed spirited football week in and week out.
