Default We have become like Dallas fans

"Waste of a season", "a miserable failure", "Should we give up on the season?"

this is like, ( I know, im showing my age), Dallas fans in the early 70's, when the team was 3-2 or 4-3 or fans there acted like they were the worst team in football.

But at least those fans had reasons for their obnoxious negativity. The Cowboys in those days were an annual disappointment, they had never won the big one.

The Patriots have been a dynasty, 3 Super Bowl Championships and 5 Conference Championships in 12 years.

When Brady went down this looked like a lost season. And here they are at 3-2.

What did you all expect????

Between this and what i read from Sox fans im embarrased that Boston fans are living up to their national reputation.

Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, Scott Pioli, Theo Epstein and Terry Francona owe us absolutely nothing and deserve a lot more respect, gratitude, and latitude than they given by the "everything sucks" mindset of Bostons spoiled rotten so-called fans.

Go root for Cleveland if this "sucks" so bad.

THANK YOU! This is what seperates and NE fan from a midwest fan. We love you when you're winning, we'll make you a god. Why? Because your job is to win games. When your not, you will be criticized, as you should be because your 10 X richer than me because you have a purpose to win. midwest fans are like zombies, they just don't care either way. Loser mentality.

It'd be one thing if the papers were calling for Belichick's head. To say they're wrong for stating the obvious talking about Cassel's struggles or the defense is ridiculous, they're doing their job pointing out what's wrong with this team. I love my Pats through thick and thin, but to say this TEAM (OL, DL, etc.) has been terrible dissapointing this year is nothing but the truth. Anyone who expected Cassel to be a pro bowler is delusional, but I expected the team to carry him, exactly what they're NOT doing.

If you think I'm like a Dallas fan because I have high expectations (as I should) kiss my ass. I love my team, I'd never root for another. But to say losing the superbowl in the same year than going 3-2 with a team that overall looks like crap is not a dissapointment, well I think you're the one lacking passion.

Rant over, gym time.

And this is exactly why, folks, everyone outside of Mass. HATES Boston sports fans.

I thought the Yankee's fan analogy works just as well.

Not me...

It's obvious this team has what it takes to go all the way!

Anyone who doesn't think this is a championship team doesn't know anything about football and is just a plain and simple bad fan.

Given that all 4 major sports have created systems designed to create parity/mediocrity, your expectations are unfair to your team(s) of choice.
