"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

These words seem to ring all too true for the Patriots first three... well sacrifices I suppose would be the best way to describe the last 3 games. Could it be that the evil mastermind has taken these events and once again initiated the "Us against them" mentality?

We have, in the last three weeks seen the Jets get blown out of the sky, the thundering supercharged bolts get reduced to mere static electricity, and we saw the Bills get stampeded to death. Now I know that many out there are going to say they cheated in the Jets game... I wont argue that, because they were indeed caught cheating... and shame on them for that! However, did it really effect the outcome of that game? Probably not, considering the tape was confiscated halfway through the first quarter.

The next sacrifice came the very next week against a supposed AFC powerhouse, that being of course the Sand Diego Chargers. Personally, I believe had the Chargers been able to control their comments about "spygate" this game may have been competitive... of course they didn't and the game wasn't.

As for the Bill's game... Well they seemed to know better, and at half time the game was actually competitive... Course that changed quickly, but I believe that was more of lack of talent on the Bill's team. By the way when are they actually going to get some talent on that team?

For those of you not sure what I am getting at here, let me make it as clear as possible. Calling the Patriots cheaters, sure that certainly has merit. Calling into question all their past accomplishments because of this... well I don't suggest doing that if you are facing them anytime this season. BB has a very long memory, as do his players... and if for some reason the team forgets anything the high lord of the Evil Empire... namely Bill Belicheck will certainly remind them ever so slightly.

To paraphrase Jim Croce... You don't tug on Superman's Cape, You don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger, and you don't mess aroung with the Pats accomplishments.
