Default Are we Spoiled?

Anyone here go back before the BB era?

We used to know before the season began that we were not going anywhere. This year we are more than likey going to go 12-4 maybe 13-3 and
its Not good enough. You make the playoffs and you have a shot to go the SB. Seems like we should be happy.
We could be playing better but the Pats are in first and going the playoffs.
Can you image being a Lion,Brown,Viking,Chief fan?

Anybody go back? How about back to Fairbanks, and even to Holovak and Saban, hence my login name, duh.

And you're right, over certain periods of years, the Dolphins and the Bills, for example, could auto-pencil in two wins a season for the days when they played the Patriots. That used to really piss me off, losing to those guys year after year. And, you know what, the Indianapolis Colts still haven't done anything in their entire lifetime that compares with our 2001, or 2003 or 2004, or even the years we made it to the SB but lost.

It's just after an emotionally charged loss.
All fans react/overreact.
Pats are still 6-2,They've scored the 3rd highest amount of points while giving up the 3rd lowest amount of points in the afc.
Belichick will keep them on the right track
Hope they don't get an us agianst the world mentality(disrespected attitude)

As long as Kraft is around we should be a stable team. I don't mind(but not happy) if we don't win the SB ever year But don't want to see those 3-13 years... i think these take years off your life...

Sure we're spoiled.

But rightfully so. When you have Brady and Belichick at the helm, you expect great things. We're justified in demanding wins. A duo of that caliber doesn't come around every year. We are in the glory years, gentlemen

We are spoiled but we deserve to be spoiled after the horrible years.

I too go all the way back to the beginning of the franchise. Have seen it all from the worst to first and everything in between.

Spoiled - hardly....appreciative of what we have going for us now - HELL YES!!
