Default So I think I may understand something...

I think I understand now, after reading most of the posts on the forum for the past year or so... why everyone says pats fans are the biggest bandwagon crybaby fans.

If we loose game 16 I bet you half of the trolls on here would flip out. I predict things such as:

"Josh Mcdaniels is a MORON! God what was he thinking!"
"The world is ending!"
"Oh my god what the hell happend to our QB... and to think, I thought he was good..."
"Our rushing attack sucks"
"Our offense sucks"
"Our defense sucks"
"Gost sucks"

Jesus guys, enough is enough. Yeah, it's okay to critisize your team... but when we are sitting at the number one spot in the playoffs, undefeated, with a bye week... who the hell cares about how many points we win by? I think that the best game played by the patriots this year was against the ravens... a come from behind beautiful brady win... but there are those here who want the 51-0 win or nothing else.

Come on guys, have a little sense. When we rush 22 times with 55 offensive plays in a game... that's slightly lower then 50% rushes. Perhaps we all need a few crap seasons .... 1-15.... 3-13.... perhaps then we can loose all of these freaking bandwagons....


And believe me, I know that the majority of the people here on patsfans.com are very sensible smart people and I'm sorry for this random rant.

Band Wagoners care about the records because the recors give them bragging rights to be even more obnoxious in other teams forums.

Most of us long term fans want the records also but never at the cost of the Super Bowl or the win which is BB.s focus as well. If the records come they come and thats great. But records can and will be broken Super Bowl WINS never go away no matter how long in the future.

Plus when one has endured the leaner years of this Franchise there a real sense of HOW SWEET IT IS now.

Just to note that you are addressing a Pats fans forum with X amount of members.
The total amount of Pats fans is surely vastly greater.
Your judgements come from reading forum posts...yes/no?
A more correct statement would be to call Pats fans who are forum posters whiners.


I get the gist of your statement though and can't say I disagree in general.

Another thing I hate about the internet is that you have to explain every single detail about what you type because people don't understand jokes, sarcasm or even referencing. I was referring to the board...

I care about the records because it's a piece of NFL history and I love sports history.

If we lose? Sh1t, they hate it when we win by more than 20.

And not just this week either. The sensible people know who they are, screw apologizing to these simians.

You can't even read a game thread around here anymore.

Your post is quite understated, in my opinion.

I'm against banning in general, but if the same people wreck the game thread week after week by acting like three year olds, I wouldn't mind seeing a round of banning.

I wouldn't mind it at all.
