Well, you can throw at least one tried and true Patriots “lack of respect” card out the window. The team that’s annually snubbed when the Pro Bowl selections are announced and uses it as a rallying cry heading into the playoffs has had eight of its players chosen to play in NFL’s All-Star game.
The Elite Eight are Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Dan Koppen, Matt Light, Logan Mankins, Asante Samuel, Mike Vrabel and Vincent Wilfork. Other than Brady, Moss and Light, the rest are first time selections. It’s also the first time the Pats have had eight players chosen since the 1985 team reached that number.
With that usual slight not an issue now, what will the new rallying cry be this post-season? Perhaps the three offensive lineman heading to Hawaii can take offense to all this talk about the lack of a running game?

Do they need a rallying cry, because if they do, they aren't going to get a new one. Their rallying cry is basically we are the best, you have to beat us, because we won't beat ourselves. I think its the fans that are looking for a rallying cry, as the team just doesn't need it. The Steelers learned the hard way what it means to give them a reason to beat you, but I don't really think they would have one if a certain DB shut his mouth.
