Umm, you're comparing a board who just got there first win with one who have won 14 games. Gee, I wonder which will be happier.
I hang around a dolphin board every once a while.
These guys are ecstatic and bursting with joy over their win yesterday. You would think they just won the superbowl or were 14-0 or had clinched the number one seed in the playoffs.
Nope, they are simply enjoying a win.
Over at the Pats board different story. Mopping because it wasn't a blowout, because Brady didn't get a TD, because SF won a game, because the fish won a game, because our running game is not perfect, because TB threw his 6th int all season.
Enjoy ever win.
...oh, wait....
As with everything, there is good and bad. There are folks who are cognizant of past and present Patriots, and the fact what this team is doing is not only unique for the team, it may be unique for the NFL. Some fans are students of the game, others of Fantasy Football looking only at touchdowns and value to their imaginary teams.
While I do think there are relatively bad teams, taking into account coaching, player abilities, and player preparation, the "any given Sunday" factor always applies due to weather, luck and opposing teams flashing brilliance. Every player in the NFL has the ability to play, and as the days of stocking superstars pre-salary cap is in the past there is no supremely talented team.
So I appreciate the ride and am always thinking, especially in moments like yesterday where Brady is diving rather than sliding, that it can all come to an end in a single hit. That is part of what makes this season remarkable.
Looking at this board, I was under the impression that the passing game struggled in a dry, windless, 72-degree setting, and we lost by two touchdowns.
Our fanbase is really going in the crapper.
