Why the Patriots will avenge their Super Bowl LII loss?

Because (expletive deleted) you, that is why!

The Patriots will be written off as washed up some time during the regular season, at the latest after their Week 14 43-27 home loss to the Chiefs. They will once again get at worst the 2-seed due to being bolstered by a perfect record within their joke of a division.

In the playoffs, the talking heads will convince themselves that THIS will finally be the year that Phillip Rivers beats Tom Brady in a playoff game. And the Patriots force him to throw 3 interceptions in a 24-10 loss.

Meanwhile in the other AFC divisional playoff game, the Jaguars – off their upset of the Steelers in Pittsburgh and riding that Big Dick Nick magic – are in Kansas City to face the top seeded Chiefs. Take your pick on which Andy Reid playoff miscue shows up. I’m going with: grossly mismanages the clock and timeouts.

Trailing 20-7 with 5 minutes remaining and one timeout, the Chiefs put together a touchdown drive that cuts the lead to 6 but eats up more than three minutes and wastes the advantage the two-minute warning would have provided if the Chiefs scored and the Jaguars had the ball. Jacksonville recovers the onside kick and holds on for a 20-14 win.

New England ends Big Dick Nick’s playoff run in the AFC Championship game. During the trophy ceremony, owner Robert Kraft is giddy that the Super Bowl is in Miami because it is his chance for a happy ending.

And for his team to claim its seventh Super Bowl trophy.

The NFC is a little less chaotic. In the Wild Card, the Falcons upset the Saints and the Bears are the only top seed to survive the weekend by avenging the double-doink. In the divisional round, the Eagles end the Falcons run while the Rams offense in the southern California warmth is no match for the Bears defense. Wentz and Goff duel in Philadelphia with the Eagles winning 34-27 and off to their second Super Bowl in three years.

In the leadup to the Super Bowl, Donald Trump DEMANDS that he should attend the game despite that several security analysts point out the logistical nightmare it would create. Instead Trump watches the game at his resort. Since it is Fox’s turn in the Super Bowl broadcast rotation, they have the honor of interviewing the president and it is nothing more than a Robert Kraft tug job.

Trump is more irritated than usual during Fox News FemBot #305’s interview by making accusations that the press has concentrated their focus on the Iowa Democratic Caucuses to be held the next day while not praising the stupendous job his administration has done, claims there is “no recession” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and cites he is polling near 50% even though national polling against potential Democratic nominees show him at best 42% and trailing in the states necessary to his re-election by at best 3 points as well as leading in Texas by a point.

As for the game itself, it is a rematch of when the teams faced off in Philadelphia back in Week 11. New England won 24-17 but Belichick was grumpier than normal in the post-game press conference due to the sloppy play. The Patriots made their usual adjustments from that game, limit Wentz, the game and halftime show was a tad more entertaining than last time, but the Patriots prevail 27-17, Brady is Super Bowl MVP again, and Robert Kraft looks like he hit up every Miami Metro massage parlor.
