In some ways this feels more like my team than last year's squad.
You should have heard me when Watson fumbled, it took me to a dark place. I was a very angry person.

Last year was super entertaining also, don't get me wrong. This is exciting in a different way, the way I look at it is you have to learn to win, there are no moral victories. Hopefully the team is learning to win.

I prefer killing teams. I can relax and enjoy it, I felt drained after watching the Jets game. This is meant to be my entertainment!

I find it comical how many here inadvertently identify themselves as frontrunning fans...

And lets face it, going 18-0 on the road to a Superbowl didn't really change the dynamic on this board all that much... Nothing is ever good enough or entertaining enough for a small but vocal minority of this fan base, many of whom are determined to post about their angst on a message board. It's at times almost enough to make the rest of us wish a couple of 1-15 seasons on them...only we realize we'd be the only ones here suffering through 'em...the vocal minority would be off to darken someone elses doorstep while enlightening their new fanmates as to how this inept franchise forced them to rethink their entertainment loyalties...

Yes, I'm very entertained. Actually - this is prolly THE most entertaining and interesting seasons I've experienced.

Of course I've been somehow down about the season start for Colts, but I'm just a big a NFL fan as I'm a Colts fan. And it's really exciting to follow the league this year

That was not meant to be the gist of my post. What I was trying to convey is that to a certain extent I take watching the Patriots far to seriously. Games like the Jets game affect my mood for a period afterwards from dizzying highs to a sucker punch low.

I was trying to be flippant which appears to be hard for me to convey in written form.

Agreed. Short posts particularly those that are flippant or ironical are easily misunderstood. We've all had it happen.

Well, it is and it isn't. I know that I can tremendously enjoy athletic competition even if I come out on the losing side. I can also enjoy watching great plays and tight games even if I have a very empty feeling after a close loss.

Winning is part of of it, but it truly isn't "everything" as Vince Lombardi is quoted as saying. (But you say those kinds of things when you are motivating a team; I have no problem at all with his quote knowing the purpose behind it. )
