I hope the ownership, coaches and front office heard those boos too. It was sad to see, but they deserved it. They didn't give the fans much to cheer about did they?

Ravens fans raid Razor - Extra Points - Boston.com

the inability to sell playoff tkts is sad. but all week on WEEI i heard was red sox so its still a baseball town when people dont expect a superbowl

Let's be honest: maybe a couple of the players care that they got booed, and those are the ones who didn't need booing. The ones who didn't see fit to show up today don't care enough to have an epiphany just because we're mad.

Don't care if Wilfork's feelings are hurt. Maybe if he hadn't been beaten at the LOS all game, we wouldn't have had anything to boo. And BTW Vince, it wasn't what *you* accomplished in the past, it was what *they* accomplished in the past. You played on a SB winner as a rookie, good for you.

And **** you Wilfork for thinking you were getting booed because you weren't racking up big plays and blowing the Ravens out. Pats fans don't give a **** about blowouts: they want to see wins, and if they can't see that then at least a tightly contested defeat. The one thing that Pats fans won't tolerate is watching their team get blown out because they didn't show up to play in the playoffs. I sincerely hope that they let Wilfork's fat ass walk this offseason. If Seymour wasn't worth the money, then I dunno how the hell anyone thinks Vince "two down" Wilfork is.

Talk up the past, Vince, as you give up 83 yards right up the middle on the first play.

I would suggest that you find another team to root for, perhaps whoever wins the Super Bowl trhis year.

Were people really screaming "boo" or were they screaming "ooh"???

 

[SyN65]

I'm usually one that is against booing your own team, but I'll make an exception this time. When you're down 24-0 in the FIRST quarter, it's ok to boo your team.

Yeah, let's all cheer a piss poor performance. That'll make us real fans.

Wow. You really need to calm down.

Was it just him though? He is getting double teamed all game. I think there are a few LBers that could have made a play, or possibly a safety.

Yeah, I seem to recall both ILBs being entirely unable to shed their blocks on that play.

So you don't find Wilfork's comments insulting to the fans? Pretty lame to claim that we're all booing because they didn't blow the Ravens out when he himself admitted that they played like it was a preseason game. You'd think he'd be able to connect the dots himself rather than belittle the people who support his team and essentially pay his salary.

It's not just booing the team....it's also about booing the coaches and it all starts with bb. He,pees and the waterboy sucked azz this year overall and deserve alot of boos.

Ya know, your right...we all should have said "ahh shux, don't get down guys, turn those frowns upside down!" Welcome to the more kinder gentler, politically correct society where mediocrity is "OK" and everybody gets a trophy just for participating.

 

[mgteich]

No, we should be grateful that our team has just completed the best 10 years in the history of the nfl!

Oakland fans should boo their team. Detroit fans should boo their team. Patriot fans should thank their lucky stars and salute the patriots for all the accomplishments of the past decade!

Boston was, is, and always will be....Red Sox first

I don't really care about Wilfork's remarks. I'm certainly not going to take it personally, because I know he's a guy who cares and comes hard. This is a guy I want on my team.

I was reacting more to these remarks:

If Seymour wasn't worth the money, then I dunno how the hell anyone thinks Vince "two down" Wilfork is.

If you're talking about a void of veteran leadership being a problem, then it makes no sense to let Wilfork walk.

And as someone who has been as down on the Seymour trade as you've been, it seems strange to me that you'd be so flip about getting rid of the Patriots' best defensive lineman. If losing Seymour was such a blow this season, how is it that losing Wilfork wouldn't have the same effect on next year's team? Who do you expect to replace him with? Brace? Wright?

Wilfork should absolutely be re-signed. If you're looking at problem areas on the DL, look at Jarvis Green, who has done absolutely nothing for as long as I can remember.

In his presser, Tom Brady himself said, "Yeah, we deserved it" and "I'd have booed too".

Ordinarily, I think Vince would have a point. NOT TODAY.

They didn't fold down the stretch. They didn't make a couple errors. They didn't have a injury (this week) that they couldn't recover from.

THEY FLAT OUT DID NOT SHOW.

One thing to do that in a regular season game. To mail it in 5 minutes into the game, in a playoff game, cuz the other team jumps out to a lead......... No, sorry Vince. That will get you boo'ed in every stadium in the league.

That was a 1990-91 effort.
