So, if you're not stupid, you must be an A-hole.

Fun with logic.
Wow it's fun to meet you too, and I don't need to ask you if you're trying to be an A-Hole.

That is absolutely amazing to the rest of us.

I suppose for new fans with unrealistic expectations, you want everything to be perfect all the time, but most fans who have been around realize that a bad game does not make a bad team, and that good stats do not mean good players.

But you are correct in that if the team loses a playoff game, the doom-and-gloomers will be front and center with the I-told-you-so's. The Pats lost a game, they suck.

Because the Patriots do have weaknesses, and they can lose.

I read this thread when it was 3 posts long, and I'm not reading the other 33 posts now, so someone fill me in: Has Don Banks been tarred and feathered yet? When will the lynching take place?

Don't dump on little old letekro, this was his really big, big, big chance to be the first one in this case to say how much the media sucks. Give the dude some props and just overlook how even handed Banks has been with Pats despite living a few minutes from Foxboro and covering every big Pats game personally. Hey, Banks just said on TV last night that he thinks the Pats will win the SB, but he's a dumb ass, typical mediot and this is letekro's big, big, big, chance to be the first in line to say so, so don't get in letekro's way, OK?

What's your point? He's a homer so he's immune to criticism? His columns are just as inane as King's are and his reasoning is as poor as TMQ's.

You make my point so plainly again for me just now - thank you - the point being (I'll present it again since you couldn't bother, or are incapable of, understanding plain language) is your post amounts to nearly mindless, reflexive, oh-look-how-smart-I-am-because-I-caught-a-national-writer-making-another-of-ten-million-mistakes-woo-woo-lucky-me tedium lacking any meaningful reflection on the work in question.

Next you're going to lie and say you're not a regular listener of one or all of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, or Fox News, etc.
