It's natural to be annoyed and angry after investing 3+ hrs in an emotional game with so much riding on it. A good night's sleep and all is well. I have no control over it. Just like stocks.Some talk in a couple of the threads out there got me thinking how hard I used to take the losses. I used to be in a bad mood for a while after the Patriots blew a regular season game and big games or post season games I would be miserable for a couple days. I am still as big a fan as I ever was, I listen to Patriots related podcasts all year long, watch every game (and rewatch every game at least once), and follow all the personnel moves closely but over the last couple years the losses don't sting as much as they used to. Maybe it's all the recent Super Bowl wins or maybe it's the fact that I have a lot more going on in my life now. In the past 2 and a half years I have gotten married, bought a house, and have a kid on the way. I guess it's all about perspective as I get older and realize in the end of the day life goes on and as long as my family and close friends are happy and healthy thats all that really matters.
This game sucked and this season has been as frustrating as a 12-4 season can be but all in all we have it better than all other 31 fanbases. Just curious based on some of the conversation in the other threads about reactions to this game.
Alot of it is the elbow imo. Get him healthy.. build the line.. get some tightends... Imagine if we had Deebo Samuel... We need to bring in more wrs.. would be nice to get some speedThis loss affected me because I feel it affirms what I felt in the 2nd half of the season. This team can’t beat good teams. The 1st half of the season when they were blowing out shyte teams was a mirage. That Boogeymen defense was a mirage.
Once they got on the field against good teams, it was no competition, they aren’t a championship caliber team. To lose the most important game of the regular season against a supposedly vastly inferior team, when they knew what was on the line, showed me who the REAL 2019 Patriots were. And that hurts.
And it also hurts to see Brady deteriorate to a middle of the road QB. The Brady who was incredibly clutch in the miraculous comeback in SB 51, is very far in the rear view mirror. That pick 6 was very Peyton-esque (Peyton’s last year). But even then, I can’t completely blame him for the loss, he gave them the lead with 4 minutes left, and honestly I knew the defense wasn’t going to stop the Dolphins. I knew they wouldn’t come up with a clutch sack, or int, or fumble recovery. They couldn’t stop a high school team today, very embarrassing loss as well.
This is the worst 12-4 team I’ve ever seen (I know, it sounds crazy), but 10 of the wins were against bad teams.
No Dynasty lasts forever. But it hurts to watch it crumble seemingly overnight.
So if we see someone 8ft tall, ripped shirt, muscle -bound and with green skin we know who it is.Rage.
Tottie....SMASH!So if we see someone 8ft tall, ripped shirt, muscle -bound and with green skin we know who it is.
Tottie= Bruce Banner
It used to bother me until I realized the fans actually get more upset than the players do.
Exactly! These are millionaires playing a game they love, not feeling sorry for em or letting them ruin my day by any means.
