Everytime....everytime, I said EVERYTIME!
A team talks trash about the Patriots, the Pats stay quiet, resilent. Then they show who is big daddy is on the field.
Casualties:
- Philadelphia Eagles WR: Freddie Mitchell(2004)
"The Philadelphia Eagles' other loquacious receiver — the one without the Pro Bowl pedigree and ankle injury — offended some Patriots when he dissed their secondary in a television interview. In a segment taped yesterday on ESPN, Mitchell admitted he couldn't name any of the Patriots defensive backs, saying he only knew their numbers. Except for No. 37 that is.
"I got something for you Harrison when I meet you too," he said."
Result:
One reception for 11 yards. Harrison had more receptions picking off McNabb twice! Patriots win the Super Bowl 24-21
- Pittsburgh Steelers Safety: Anthony Smith(2007)
Safety Anthony Smith not only thinks the Steelers have a chance Sunday to beat the undefeated New England Patriots, he guarantees it.
"We're going to win," Smith said after practice . "Yeah, I can guarantee a win." Against the then Undefeated Patriots.
Result:
Smith gives up big plays, one noticeably to WR Jabar Gaffney where Smith was beat, and humiliated. Patriots win that game 34-13.
- San Diego Chargers RB: LaDainian Tomlinson(2007)
LaDainian Tomlinson was upset Sunday evening, and it wasn't just because his Chargers had just lost to the Patriots. The league's MVP was also irritated by the way some of New England's players handled their victory. Seems they weren't exactly gracious winners."I would never react in that way. I was very upset," Tomlinson said.
"When you go to the middle of our field and start doing the dance Shawne Merriman is known for, that is disrespectful. They showed no ****and maybe that comes from the head coach."
Result:
Next time they played on Sept. 16 he rushed 18 times for only 43 yards with four receptions for only 15 yards to go with that no TD's. Patriots won that game 38-14.
- Buffalo Bills WR: Terrell Owens(2009)
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens provided the first trash talk with the Patriots leading up to Monday night's season-opener at Gillette Stadium. Owens was asked if he had anything up his sleeve for the Patriots. "Nah, nothing up my sleeve," said Owens. "I might bring my spy camera out, though." Prior to the Monday Night Football matchup.
Result:
Two receptions for 46 yards. Patriots beat the Bills in a thriller 25-24.

I hope the Jets realize what they are getting themselves into. Not guarantee-ing (bad spelling lol) anything, but there is a history for those who talk trash and failed, miserably.
It is just not smart to wake a sleeping dog and the Jets just kicked it.
