Poll: Why does this feel like the worst Patriots off-season ever?

[goheels22002]

Is it a bad off season in terms of not being fun for the fans or a bad off season because it will produce a poorly-performing team (the same way so many teams "win" during the off season then suck)? If it's later, nobody can tell now.

This off-season has none of the league, draft or free agent drama of past offseasons. Rex winning the offseason was always fun whether he was in Buffalo or NY. Roger Goodell hasn't manufactured a good bone-headed controversy (the kneeling thing is just recycling last year's big deal.) There's no Steph Stradley columns to follow. The vast ESPN conspiracy is gone after they cleaned out all the lunatics who dug up crap on the Patriots to get control of their costs. Volin is useless -all he does is recycle stuff from this message board. Curran has gone full homer on us with his massages and all. There was no blockbuster deal like Randy Moss or Darrelle Revis. It's boring. Maybe things will pick up in a few weeks.

Imagine if the same group of turd reporters covered Pittsburgh?

Lose to Jacksonville in a heart breaker. Star RB ain't showing up. QB is in decline

The answer is OTHER, turd reporters stirring sh!t.

I guess the question is, why is the media targeting the Pats relentlessly all of the sudden? Just like when the Harbaugh 9ers where getting their a** kicked in the media people thought it was all fake news. We'll find out in in time.

I never thought I would say this but I am sick of Brady. I wish they kept Jimmy.

 

[Boomer B]

Wow. The guy who delivered 5 SBs and gives us the best shot at #6 in the next few years and some people are “sick” of him. Some of our fan base are so spoiled.

Just wait till 9 and 7 out of the playoffs regular season...

 

[lancerman]

Because people have short memories. Deflate gate off-season was like 3 years ago.

 

[PlainOldEd]

Other. Because, no.

 

[lancerman]

2007-2008 offseason was worse, 18-1, ugh!!

I’ll take that off season with everyone picking us as Super Bowl favorited and a second possible 16-0 because of a weak schedule than the complete apathy I had after weak one that year

 

[BelizePats]

Did this offseason bring back Bobby Greir? if not, I'm good!

 

[Ivan]

Hard to say why this is the worst offseason ever? I have cried myself to sleep many a night asking just that question. Will Belichick quit on opening day? Will Brady have a sex change? Will Gronk join the Air Force? The list goes on and on, like grains of sand on an endless beach. I’m pained, it hurts. Too painful to continue, in fact. Hopefully they can go further than the Super Bowl next season, crappy sucky defense or not. Time to nap.

So much of this fanbase thinks they are entitled to everything and they feed off the negativity that they read and hear online/sports talk radio. Look no further than the GDT, once a great game companion, it's nothing more than a gathering of the "negative nancy's" who drown in their own piss after the first incompletion from the offense.

If there was ever a time for the Ray Lewis Killed A Guy option....

 

[PatsWSB47]

I've been through too many off seasons to be high or low on this one. I've seen doom and gloom turn into Lambardis and 19-0 predictions turn into ****. I'm gonna let this one play out during the season. We don't have a clue as to how this will go.

 

[oldrover]

Lets mix it up... like the Billy Martin Yankees and **** Williams Athletics did in baseball in the 70's... players and coaches fighting... owners ripping everyone on the team in the media...

...oh, and another championship.

All about value for your entertainment dollar!

Nice post.

 

[goheels22002]

Who added the "Ray Lewis killed a guy" option to the poll?

 

[Bruins29]

I think its a normal drama filled off-season. What seems to be worse is the amount of fuking whiners on this forum who blow everything out of proportion and look for negative in every little thing because they are projecting their loserness.

Its getting worse every year.

 

[Deus Irae]

"Tom Brady and Gronk skipped OTAs and Edelman might miss 4 games because of an unknown substance. This is worse than when Hernandez killed a guy, and worse than when Johnson had to retire because of concussions and Bruschi had a stroke!"

- Sincerely,

Patriots fans with very short memories
