And for the record, I am pretty much anti-whining in life as well as in football boards.
Seems to me to only have negative connotations.

i think most of us come to this forum for a good argument. if everyone agreed with everything, it would be kind of boring. if you dont like someone disagreeing with you, or having a different opinion, or whining, go read columns on network websites. a forum is the wrong place for you to be.
I think it would be great of course, if people could debate thinks intelligently, and not get into an attacking mode when someone has a different opinion than yours......I think the homer page is a great idea though.....I think you should have a homer page........and a realist page......
PS you could send out rose colored glasses to all members of the homer page...because every thing that the team does is going to be.... "Perfect"!
A spirited debate is not the intention of game threads. That's all we're talking about here.... GAME THREAD. It would be nice to have one that allowed fans of other teams to read it without thinking that the Patriots fans consider their team to be the worst in the history of the NFL and completely incapable of defeating an opponent who's only down by a 28-7 score, for example.
As for regular forums, all that is asked is that rational arguments be used rather than the classic "Maroney sucks" sort of crap.
I could give a ****** about what fans of other teams think of our team or its fans.....do you?
I think the purpose of a GAME THREAD is discuss things that are going on with our offensive and defensive players during the GAME, and assess how effective they are, or where we may need to make adjustments. For example, when our team plays well for the first half, then can do nothing and miss all kinds of assignments in the second half.......I think it is perfectly NORMAL to discuss what is going on with them.....To sit there with blinders on (or rose colored glasses..... and just keep saying rah rah...we are up by 28 points......shut the f' up!.....and not look at the bigger picture that if we do NOT tighten up certain things....eventually it is going to bite us.......your missing it......GO PATS

I agree completely. The game thread is nothing like you describe.
Since when is We succkkk!!!! intelligent discussion?
Fair enough. Many of the made o' glass threads are at least funny. I would never want a flag waving rosy scenario forum like some teams have.
This idea was prompted by the game thread in particular.
You know there are ways to say "we should try some screen passes", or "even though we're winning, I don't like this trend" or some such thing.
It's just that "we suck, we're awful" when we are ahead by 3 or four tds or playing in the rain leading from beginning to end just...sucks.
NOW THIS I AGREE WITH......Posts that state "We SUCK"....or talk about any particular player as "They suck" (unless their name is Dwayne Starks....or Monty Beisel) are extremely annoying. Because this isn't either the rose colored glass wearer(AKA homer).....or the realistic fan....this is the doomsday fan....."We're not going to make it.......we're doomed" ....Holy Crap....not there are THREE divisions of "fans" in here!!!

I agree with this too, but the endless messages like, "Touchdown!", "Go Moss!", "What was that?", and "Way to go TB!" are just as bad and completely lack substance. They fill up page after page and become very repetitive. I tried to hang out in the game thread a few times and got bored.
how about an additional game thread with the title "official game insight thread. do not post if you dont plan on completing at least two sentences"
You could also have a 12 to 15 minumum word count for posting. I tried to ask a question about a play in a game thread once and was immediately followed by a dozen 3 or 4 word "yipee" messages and got buried.
