The New England Patriots have done plenty of impressive things this season, including their 45-7 AFC Championship Game steamrolling of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
File Lawrence Tynes under those who weren’t so impressed.
The former New York Giants kicker took to Twitter immediately after the Patriots’ win to throw some serious shade at New England.

In case you don’t get the reference (or would like to forget it), the Patriots’ first trip to Glendale, Ariz., was for Super Bowl XLII, where the Giants ruined New England’s chances at the perfect season. Tynes apparently believes this season’s Super Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium will go to the Seattle Seahawks over the Patriots, too.
Before you take to Twitter to feed the troll, Patriots fans, keep in mind that Tynes is a professional one. The kicker already got some hate earlier this season when he referred to Peyton Manning as “Eli’s brother” in a tweet about the elder Manning breaking Brett Favre’s NFL touchdown passes record.
