Yep, love this team, love this coach, am disappointed right now but know that this team will always have the potential to do great things, and I will tune in every week hoping for just that.

You may think that you have been a fan longer than anyone else and are the best around, and you are entitled to think that, but it is wrong to bash other posters for sharing their views.
I for one am happy that my team has a passionate fan base that is not content with losing. Complacency does not lead to improvement, and our team seems to need improvement at this point.
I can understand any positive feelings anyone may have towards the current roster for past success, but this roster may not be able to repeat that success.
I would have loved to have won a championship in 01' with Armstrong, Coates, Bledsoe, Gash, Slade, Jefferson and all my other past favorites starting the game, but it wasn't going to happen. If thats what you want to see the team futiley try to attempt, fine. But don't bash others for wanting to win.

You, sir, are totally missing the point. Patsox mentions that it is okay to criticize the team and make rational suggestions befitting a 6-3 team (with the division lead and the benefit of experience in a system which has produced three recent superbowl victories).

What is not cool is to clog up this website with irrational panic-button crap which makes no sense at all.

There is a big difference. I think if you read all the threads you will find a very slim amount of rational sensible threads between yesterday and today, and a lot of total crap.

We all are aware of how bad the team looked, in fact, worse overall than against the Colts. So let's discuss it in a rational manner.

Just because some clueless fanboy has an opinion does not mean that his opinion deserves respect. There are people in this country that are in the KKK. My point being that not all opinions in this world are worth respecting. That includes this website. I'm NOT comparing silly fanboys to racists, I am suggesting that you realize that every opinion is not automatically worthy of respect and discussion. Some opinions are just stupid and off target. Some opinions about this team are just not going to happen and therefore are too hypothetical to discuss in a tone of utter panic like the fanboys want us to do at this site.

Here's the bad news:

1. We lost yesterday to the Friggin JEST at home. This is was a game we should have and could have won but we didn't.

2. We lost to the Colts at home the week before.Another game that we should have and could have won, but we didn't.That was not as big as losing the the JEST.

3. Tom is not being Tom. I don't know if it's his mechanics or something else. That is the most worrisome thing to me.

Here's the good news:

1. We are 6-3. We lead our division.

2. We control our own playoff destiny.We are not looking up at anyone. The Jest are still looking up at us.

3. BB and the coaching staff will work tirelessly to get this corrected. We have a goup of players who are talented and will also work tirelessly. That's the type of people we have.

4. There are many players on the injury list that will be coming back.

Looking at this thing objectively and with out rose colored glasses, there are many more reasons to still feel optimistic than pessimistic.

I am disgusted by what I see posted as threads on this board by so called fans. They have their opinions but I think that they are happy that things have gone this way so they can post their bull****. The good news is that they represent less than 25% of the fans here but they act likethey are the majority.

Good posts 23! As I sat watching yesterdays game I kept waiting for that breakout moment that we've all come to expect, and was teased by first Dillon and then Caldwell! But I have faith in this team and coaches that it will come together before the season gets away from us!!

I think you missed my point. I don't agree with yours or the thread starter's opinions, but I am not going to call them "retarted, humiliating, irrational crap".
I'm also not saying that I agree with all of the negative posters on this board, I'm saying that we all have a right to voice our Patriots related opinions here. That's what this board is for.
Its one thing to say that you disagree with someone, its another to call their opinions retarted crap. And when you feel free to make generalizations about who you are referring to, expect for some of us to get offended and voice our displeasure.
You referred to the KKK in your post. Isn't that one of those pig headed organizations that thinks theirs is the only correct opinion and everything else is crap? Just wondering.

I'm sorry some of you people fail to read and/or comprehend the original post in this thread. I have no problem with criticism. I have a problem with frantic, wild swingings of the pendulum - good and bad - that come from the panic-driven commoners who are taking over this site.

Try reading and you won't get shot down.

Not all things we disagree with are "retarded, humiliating, irrational crap." Just some, which we refer to - and, now, yours. Again, please read. Otherwise, hang in the corner and resume drooling.
