It sucked Sunday night but there has been too much success lately to really get upset over this one. Especially when they just got outplayed - pure and simple.
I am now patiently awaiting FA season. I’m eager to see what happens.
They didn't get their best result. How do you know about their best effort?I prefer to teach my kids that the only was losing is acceptable is if you give 110%...The Patriots defensive players and coaches clearly did not give their best effort
Oh lord did we really need another thread of someone preaching how they’re “above it all” and not bothered by the heartbreaking loss?
I have been making my 8 year old nephew into a consummate Pats fan and he was all upset on Monday (he saw most of the game but it was a school night and my bro and sis in law are both professors). I called him and basically had to be mature and conciliatory because he picks up on everything. Told him we have won historic SBs and lost historic SBs. The NFL essentially goes through Foxborough. Tip your hat to the fans of other teams and tell em, “see you next year, but most likely WE won’t.”
Those are PS Players. Aint nobody gettin excited over dat.Didn’t they already sign ten free agents?
"etc."=stolen #1We've just not drafted enough good young talent in last 3 years either from missing on picks, or trading them away etc.
We're on to AtlantaI was over it on Monday. They got beat, that’s the way it goes. They have a great deal of work to get ready for next season and I’m actually am fascinated to see how they will build next season’s team.
I'll eventually get over it. Call me greedy and petty but if the Steelers had five I wouldn't be nearly as upset over the decisions that led to the loss as well as the loss itself. Wanted to tie those smug hypocrites.
Well, not completely but today's the eagles parade and I'm working from home to avoid the mess in the city. I decided to go for breakfast at a local cafe and decided to wear my Pats Superbowl XLIX sweatshirt. Of course everyone else had their eagles gear on and were staring at me so it was slightly uncomfortable but no one gave me any problems.
I made some realizations this morning. It is a chance for me to accept this with some class. Regardless of how we lost the game, I can react in the best way possible. I can show the eagles (and other) kids how to accept loss with grace, that this is after all, just a game. There's so much hate in the world already. Is this what we want to teach our kids? Is our sense of happiness really contingent upon others?
So I'm going to continue ro proudly wear my Pats gear and keep congratulating the eagles fans on their happiness because my own happiness is not coming from somebody else's sadness. We're on to 2018.
I'm over it because I can acknowledge that the Eagles earned it and our coach fumbled the game away. Hard to be too upset when we deserved to lose.Well, not completely but today's the eagles parade and I'm working from home to avoid the mess in the city.
