Default What the hell happened to this community?

I swear to God, if I traveled back in time to pre 2001 and showed each and showed most of you what you're posting now about us going 15-1 and having a really good shot of winning the Super Bowl given all thats happened to this team the last 2 years without mentioning who I was quoting or what team they were referring to you'd all laugh and go "man what a bunch of homers"

What the Hell happened to this place? Did the success go to our heads? We don't have a kicker for Christs sake! and you're talkin like we'll go 15-1 and win the Superbowl without breaking a sweat. What the Hell is the matter with you guys? Did you all get together and decide to pull a fast one on old Nova?

"Hey I got a good one, lets make Nova think we're a bunch of coltpoweresque homers!"

Confidence is one thing, but this is sheer lunacy. 15-1 are you high? When people used to bad mouth Pats fans I never got what they meant, I'm like "yeah some of them are morons (Co-Red Sox fans) but not these guys here." now I find myself agreeing with them. Seriously I wish you guys could see yourselves the way I do. You're acting like spoiled Colts/Steelers fans.

Do I think we can't possibly win the Superbowl? Of course not, we have a chance, I think we're in a good position to win our divison, but 15-1? a bye? Pass me that peace pipe!

Anyway, this is my swan song, hopefully I can find another place to go and meet some realistic Pats fans, but if not oh well. If we do go 15-1, or win the Superbowl I'll be back here to eat my crow. Hell I'll even kill an actual crow, video tape myself eating it and upload it to youtube so you guys can watch it.

Peace,
NSPF.

I'm realistic and know that 15-1 are impossible or very difficult, but that we will arrive at superbowl I do not say that NO.

Go Pats!

hope you don't leave, novascotia. A lot of us have grown frustrated by the dip in quality of posts/posters here - as the bandwagon has loaded up and the site has gained a rep of a good place. Hopefully it won't become like the typical site. This place was smart, discerning, realistic and far more objective before. I think it's still better than most.

I think "broad-brushing" the entire board is a little reactionary.

It has truly gone to many peoples heads, and alot of bandwagoners are also to blame. But, who cares? Let them say what they want, I honestly come here just to talk REAL football. I have been coming here since, I believe 2000. Very different crew back then, not better, just different. Alot of the hardcore guys on here get on my nerves just as much as the bandwagon homers. To be honest though, when it's all said and done, we all root for the same team, and regardless of what we talk about or say, that teams outcome is going to be the same. Whatever they do on the field. NEM has been here forrrreeeeever, and though he has always gotten on my nerves for his anti-zampese/weis/whoever is making the calls threads, I still respect the man for always saying how he feels. Thankfully for most of us, he is usually worng Love ya NEM

OHH I see so the Pats have to go 15-1 for you to "eat crow"? I would point out to you the Pats went 17-2 in 2003 and 17-2 in 2004...but anyone thinking the Pats could match that success is a "moron"? You really need to get a grip. The Pats could go 15-1 or depending on injuries and other things could go 8-8. But to call out people for thinking the Pats can go 15-1 just because...well I don't know what your agenda is. The Pats have two 17-2 seasons recently and have an easier schedule this year it is not "moronic" to think they possibly could lose only one game...though I see BB resting starters a la the fish last year. The Pats should have a very good record this year. I do expect a 1st round bye out of them but that is it...after that I hope they ae on a roll and play up to thier potential which would be a SB victory, not assured but I think we have a better chance than most. You really don't have to bother jumping back on the wagon comiong back here to "eat crow" stay where ever you land.

EDIT: Oh and according to your "poll" you voted we don't have a chance at all of winning the SB.

Quit being such a *****. Is it against the law for people to get excited for a team who has been at the elite the last 5 years, and before that was the laughing stock of the nfl. Id say 15-1 isnt very likely but i think we'll still end up with a bye, so get that sand out of your vagina and quit cryin about hopeful fans

Talking Re: What the hell happened to this community?

I'd say kicker is about #3 on the concern chart right now (wide-out and line-backer being #s 1 & 2). Give the homers a break!! Most people, when they predict 15-1 are just hoping for that. Besides, who knows what will happen? Did you see the defending superbowl quarterback last night? He looked terrible, like a guy who had been in a motorcycle accident and couldn't play. Lighten up & enjoy! You don't have to read or respond to posts you don't like.

Talking Re: What the hell happened to this community?

D-R-A-M-A Q-U-E-E-N.

This morning you post a poll thread where the only two choices are:

A) Yes, of course we will win the SB, no doubt about it

and

B) Are you crazy? Of course we won't win the Super Bowl!

And now, I learn from you that we have no kicker. Huh??????

I've always enjoyed your posts, Nova, but is there someone close by who can come and check on the radon gas levels in that new house?
