#Patriots_Fans_Problems

[RedSleevesPinkStripes]

Too many prime time games, I want Pats at 1pm on Sunday. That's it. Maybe some 4pm's but only like 3.

Definitely agree on the dvr.. Serious issue at my place

Having to update my computer backgrounds because they keep bringing home more Lombardi's

It's been 12 months since we're in the superbowl. What a long time. Glad the wait is over.

Some fans are frustrated their team has never won the SB,
Pats fans are frustrated that we haven't had our first 3 peat.

Some fans are frustrated that they have never been to a SB,
Pats fans are frustrated that we have never had a 19-0 season.

Some fans dream of a 11-5 season,
Pats fans wonder if we will go, 16-0,14-2 or 13-3, an 11-5 season is viewed as a disaster.


First world problems.

I don't know how you do it man. I would never host a Super Bowl Party if the Pats were playing. Me, TV, and nobody else when the Pats are playing in the Super Bowl.

Yeah, I am actually with you there.

I thought of it because I have hosted in years when we weren't in it. I won't host it when we are in it, but the FAMILY is still there.

The family is nowhere nearly as invested as me, so they chat about funny commercials, or (gasp!) NON-FOOTBALL things when a key play is going on. Then they wonder why I am not paying attention to THEM! Ummm. family, there is a game going on here! I will talk about funny commercials and the halftime entertainment later, OK?

 

[WinstonSmith]

Kind of like marriage, what once was exciting and new has become expected and common place. I'm not ashamed to admit that occasionally I need to take medication to get excited for some playoff games/super bowls.

That's everyone though, not just Pats fans

I’m always so focused on the SB I can’t get excited about the commercials.

I feel like a browns fan during the pro bowl.

Those fans of teams that exceed expectations sure seem have fun.

Sometimes I miss super bowl trivia questions about the patriots because I get the games mixed up.

It’s so hard to predict how long the first 31 draft picks will take before tuning in.

Wait, you let them talk during the game?

 

[Snooky97]

Have to stay up late on draft night to see who the Pats pick

In the UK this is a ****ing nightmare

 

[Keep Up With The Joneses]

Every year I debate ordering the complete set of rings from all the championships, but I keep feeling like I should wait (they don't leave any spaces in the display case for new ones).

 

[nabwong]

Why is the NFL always making the patriots play 20 preseason games? So unfair.

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

Another year of watching the Super Bowl alone, with no family or friends, because no one will watch a Super Bowl with me when the Pats are playing. It’s okay, I’m getting used to it with the experience.....

Well, if following this team is like a marriage then last year's SB was make -up sex.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

How about...
-Every season that does not end with a Super Bowl is a disappointing failure?

It's been that way for me since 1974.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

I don't know how you do it man. I would never host a Super Bowl Party if the Pats were playing. Me, TV, and nobody else when the Pats are playing in the Super Bowl.

You should have used an antenna to record all those amazing victories with the appropriate DVR system of your choice. No encryption! Now you're in quite the pickle. My suggestion is if you've got component outputs on your DVR you purchase a device that will record it as you play it. That's your only choice for saving those.

Or better yet. Local channels in the US are in the clear with the cable provider, correct? No encryption? If so, then you do the same thing with the antenna, just without the antenna.

NBC Channel 10 has trouble getting through where we live.

On a more critical note, is there any technological method of hearing everything Al Michaels, who I really like, says, while automatically muting Chris Collinsworth any time he opens up his stupid mouth?

I'm not interested in subjecting myself to another three and one half hours of Collinsworth blabbering on endlessly about Patriots' fake scandals, controversies, cheating, asterisks and all the other national propaganda diatribes which have no basis in reality and no relevance to football.

And my doctor says bleeding from my ears is a bad sign.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

-Finding new Super Bowl records to break takes a lot of research.

-Five Lombardis < David f'n Tyree and Mario f'n Manningham. (with a side order of "Catch the goddamn ball, Asante!")

Oh - and one "Catch the goddamn ball, Wes!"

My daughters enjoyed the halftime show last February, while I was recharging, restocking munchies and scheming as to how we were going to get back in the game.

Spent the fourth quarter mostly, explaining to my older daughter how the clock was really, really, really becoming an increasingly huge factor with each passing second...

 

[Deus Irae]

Having to worry about things like this

However, there is one thing that Brady has never done, and if the Patriots beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, he'll become the first quarterback in NFL history to pull it off: Lead the NFL in passing yards AND win the Lombardi trophy in the same year.

[SEA_Pat]

Watching your favourite players leave after distinguished careers and underperform with their new teams always makes me sad. But when they leave those teams because they dislike the losing culture and return to play well again on cheap contracts, it makes me happy.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Living in an area where everyone else has no idea of the joy of having your team win the Super Bowl...........but they do punch horses, run into subway poles and throw snowballs at Santa......................
And they try to give me sh*t????????
