The New England Patriots' aura of greatness has been tarnished.
Since Spygate broke:
1. Tom Brady is, statistically, twice the QB he was.
2. The team has consistently rebuilt year after year with top draft talent, never really falling off that hard besides the year Tommy was out with an injured ankle.
3. Since Spygate, the Pats playoff appearances have all gone horribly awry, with two comeback losses against the Giants, a freak loss to the Jets, a loss against the Ravens where Brady turned the ball over 3 times in the 1st Q alone, and now this game?
4. Pats ironically have the best record in the NFL since Spygate, but only playoff collapses to show for it.
I'm not a superstitious man but
