You must have been the captain of your debate team.Pats fans who stop watching the patriots when BB and Brady retire are dead to me. Once a patriots fan, you're a patriots fan for life.

Kind of hard to get excited when you know Park Avenue will do anything to keep your team from winning the big game
I hate to admit it, but yes, the magic is fading.
Probably has to do with the inevitable decline of Brady as he approaches 40.
Think I may soon have to join a Bruins board with the name DevilFan79.
Yeah, Neo about sums it up for me too.
youre admitting youre a bandwagoner/front runner?Agreed, after a loss I hardly peek in here for the next week.
If the Pats go on a losing streak, or come back to the NFL* induced parity, I will probably be gone for good.
My personal interest in the league outside of the Pats has fallen off of a cliff. I can't be bothered to watch games in which the Pats aren't involved. Used to be a time when I could be invested by watching a team that I hate almost as much as watching the Pats. No longer. Fantasy football is down to one league with total weekly time invested being about 5 minutes.
I still watch the Pats games but during the regular season, it's sometimes felt like I'm just going through the motions. Losing to Seattle the other week was really no big deal in the grand scheme of the season, so my level of disappointment was low. It wasn't like that in the past. Conversely, winning doesn't provide the same high either.
As others have said about themselves, maybe I'm getting older too. Maybe it has something to do with Goodell and the product. Who knows.
Football as a whole has gone to non existent for me, I used to play fantasy football and know who the good teams/players were and who sucked. I would watch NFL network for a couple hours every day. Now? Could care less and haven't turned on a sec of it in over a year. To the OP's question about the pats they are the only game I watch and I am on here on and off most of the day so I am still hooked on the team for the most part. The only down side where my fandom is not as devote as it used to be is working every Sun is not soul crushing to me like it would have been a couple years ago. If I missed a game I was depressed for the rest of the week. Now? Eh if it's a night game I get to see it live and that's cool but I get enough updates, views, and opinions on here that if I don't see it no big deal. Some of that is getting a little older I am sure but more of it is my total and complete disgust with the 32 and their hired puppet.
Football has also changed and not in a good way in the past decade. You watch old highlight reels and it's not as fast with wide open spaces with offences going up and down the field at will. You could actually play defense and a great punt was an exciting play. I get that I am likely in the minority who if I wanted non stop scoring I would watch the NBA. I miss the old NFL where scoring 20 was an accomplishment and more games ended 16-10. This is still football which is a sport I am obsessed with, as well as wanting BB and TFB to shove as large a foot up the 32's *** as possible, so I watch when I can but yeah my enthusiasm has definitely changed....sadly even for the patriots.
