Yea, I was wrong af. Haven't been this off about a playoff game since the Jets divisional round debacle, I figured this was going to be a nailbiter, back and forth type affair To have the stress levels deactivated by the 3rd quarter was
OUR LOCKER ROOM STILL REEKS OF CHAMPAGNE!: The Official 2017 New England Patriots Offseason Thread
Time for them to rest up and get that preparation started.

Oh well.
Given the overzealous investigation and draconian punishment of the Patriotsthat followed for a crime of such small magnitude, the saga could have ushered the demise of New England’s dynasty. Few NFL teams or coaches or quarterbacks would have survived the months of interrogation and courthouse drama. The weight would have been too much. But most teams aren’t New England, most coaches aren’t Bill Belichick and most quarterbacks aren’t Tom Brady.
Goodell dropped a sledgehammer on the Patriots when he suspended Brady for four games, fined the team $1m and took away their first-round draft pick in 2016 and fourth round selection this spring. His sanctions were the football equivalent of killing a fly with a hand grenade, and they were going to cripple the Pats. And yet all they did was make New England better. On Sunday the Patriots stomped over the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17 sending the team to their seventh Super Bowl in 15 years. Against the Steelers Brady, who finally served his suspension last September, seemed ageless at 39 by throwing for 384 yards and three touchdowns. Given this might have been his most efficient regular season, he appears to have benefited from the early rest, saving his body for the postseason.
Belichick has a remarkable ability to endure disaster whether that calamity is a spying scandal, the loss of a star tight end to injury or the arrest of another star tight end for murder. He grunts a few inaudible words and moves on to the task ahead. Undoubtedly, he would have loved to keep his first-round pick last April. He probably would have done something clever with it. But the Patriots survived just fine. And they probably will in years to come.
Deflategate was supposed to kill Goodell and the Patriots. They're still thriving
And having said all that, WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL! #WATTBA #fukkGoodeLL :PatsCelebration:
