Brady_to_Moss

I don't know about you guys..but in the SB days..i would get pissed when they would lose..now after losing those past 2 SBs and the jets playoff loss, I don't really get that mad anymore. Especially in the reg season week 3. But still get very mad come playoffs. But those losses have numbed me to losing as to where i just say oh well...where as before i would throw stuff

Really? Not me, I feel like we have something to prove, like fate is against us. There is still and always will be a hole in my sports heart for the SB loss in 2007. I was deployed and miserable and the only thing I had to look forward to were Patriot games and the 2007 season really kept me going until we lost the SB and I had nothing to look forward to. Flashback a year from that and we should have been 2006 SB champions, but we blew a huge lead to Manning in the AFC game and lost. No way the Bears were stopping us as we had already taken them behind the woodshed once earlier in the season. I know, I know coulda shoulda woulda but we really SHOULDA had 5 Super Bowls in 7 years and it sucks. Then we had that horrid Jets loss with our #1 seed and our painful Super Bowl loss last year to the Giants, again! It is depressing and I will never EVER get used to losing! Every loss sucks! We have something to prove and Brady's hands should be stacked with SB rings, he has had so many opportunities but he needs more! I don't want any arguing that Brady and his New England Patriots were the best ever, I don't even want Montana and Brady to be in the same discussion, I want the Patriots to go out with a bang these next few years and I want Brady to have more SB titles than any other QB in history. Because of that I will never be on with that. This is our last shot at something great, something that happens maybe once in your lifetime. Maybe when Bill and Brady are gone I won't be so upset with losing but not here, not now, this is OUR time and we need to make up for all those post 2004 playoff losses!

Losing in the reg season...week 3..should have people jumping off cliffs is what i am trying to say..the playoff losses has made it easier for me

I get your passion for wanting Brady to be viewed as the best ever and all that, but that's not something I care much about. I just want the Pats to win games, period. That means Super Bowls, of course, but I just don't care much about the individual player or coach legacy thing and I don't care much about which QB some people think is the best ever or whatever.

As far a losing getting easier, losing sucks. But, the Giants have shown that a mediocre regular season record can still lead to a Super Bowl win or two so I don't worry about a 1-2 record, especially in the AFC East.

This loss pissed me off more than any regular season and I may even say play off loss. Simply because of the awful officiating

Losing became very easy as I have been a fan since the early 70's...

Many folks here are spoiled by this team, and since '01 we have watched unparalled football excellence..

It still bothers me, but always have to put it in perspective as I realize how lucky I am to be a fan of this team...

This game..week 3.. pissed you off more than last years SB loss? Really? Hell the Ari game i was more "pissed". We played balt..a good team who may get a 1st round bye with the texans this year

That is why I want to win so bad, because we are at the end of
our prime and this is our last big chance to do something great before the inevitable slump comes! Don't get me wrong, I don't think the 70s will happen again, the money has changed, the game has changed, the fanbase has muliplied, and the Patriots are an elite brand with a better history than pre-2001.

I understand where you're coming from. I was livid as hell after the Cardinals game because we forced a damn fumble and then managed to recover it with great field position, but a questionable call on Gronk which negated a Woodhead touchdown got me steamed... and if that wasn't enough, I didn't even get to watch the final possession of the game. I wasn't so mad at Gostkowski blowing the game-winning FG, but damn! Get your **** together, CTV (I live in Canada, that's where most Patriot games are aired)...

I think I know what he means. I was more disappointed by the playoff losses but this one had me angrier.
