Well, I guess I would expect a Raiders fan to hate the Pats. I was looking for an UNBIASED opinion as to why the Patriots were so hated.
Wasn't the "tuck rule" game in 2001 payback by the refs for the "roughing the passer" game in '76? It may have been a liitle payback for Tatum's hit on Stingley as well (in pre-season nonetheless).
In my opinion, as long as the Patriots can keep all of their good Karma from last year, they are the team to beat this year.
