The Patriots trounced the Indianapolis Colts 45-7, advancing to Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Arizona.
But former Giants placekicker Lawrence Tynes, who helped New York beat the Patriots in two Super Bowls, one in Glendale, unleashed this tweet.
The Pats have learned to celebrate the hell out of those AFC Championships because the know what comes 2 weeks later. #0-2inGlendale

The Giants ruined the Patriots undefeated season with their 21-17 victory in Super Bowl XLVI.
After an outpouring of angry tweets from Patriots fans, Tynes responded:
The facts are the facts. I sense the 10 year frustration in these tweets. Enjoy the AFC ring ceremony. They should have the process down

I sincerely love the passion. Although some of you are a little over the top, I get it. I am sure I will get this going again real soon
