It's easy, and only takes a few moments.What I’m saying is homers have no issue with hypotheticals when it suits their homerism. Homers refuse to hypothetically swap in another teams good player for our average player because “you can’t say how he would do”.
It’s really pretty simple. Homers only deal in what ifs if it suits their argument. Not that hard to follow.You're comparing analyzing an untried college draft pick vs. whether a 4 year NFL veteran who has been in the system plays in a Super Bowl.
You're making absolutely no sense whatsoever.

We’re onto BaltimoreBTW- what happened to the "rewatch thread". I saw it there on Monday and now its gone. Was it a figment of my imagination or am I just not doing something right?

Okay no homers here. Understood.You're not making any cogent point whatsoever, other than repeatedly belching out the term "homers" over and over again.
.........which makes you a tragic-comic figure, given the name of the website on which you are arguing.

Following this up:
According to WEEI, Michel is the second worst qualifying RB, when it comes to yards after contact.
“I’m happy he’s still alive,” Fears joked about Michel, alluding to the fact he’s carried a big load so far. “I’m happy he’s doing a great job. I’m happy he’s still pretty healthy. He’s playing well in my mind. He’s doing a lot of good things and like everybody, he’s got his moments where he makes mistakes too. He’s got to correct those mistakes. Be a little more consistent in some of the things he’s doing and I think we’ll be more productive overall. I think he tried to run hard this weekend. The good news for us is that Josh is continuing to call on the run game and giving us a chance and that’s keeping it balanced. We want to be more productive, but at least we’re balanced.”
“We gotta stop going backwards,” he said. “And that’s with Sony and some of his decisions. He can’t take a chance and say, ‘I’m gonna bounce this thing. Go East and West all day.’ He’s gotta friggin' get downhill. Nothing there, get downhill.”

Can’t wait to see the spin on this one.Another follow up, this time from Ivan Fears. First the caress, then the smack:
Can Patriots' woeful ground game improve?

You do know you can be a fan and disagree with some of the personnel moves? You can also be a fan without thinking every player we have is the best in the league.LOTS of homers here!!! The name of the website is PatsFANS.com
Helloooo, Clueless!

Homers are the most fickle kind of fans there are. They’re the most likely ones to be bandwagon artists since the dude hopping on said bandwagon has a problem admitting his chosen team has warts. They’re the kind that disappear after tough losses. If that’s the measurement of a true “fan” (it isn’t), then this place is going to be mighty quiet when BB and Brady are gone.LOTS of homers here!!!

Yeah, guilty as charge. I dig the Patriots. Whose your team?

I just assume a lot of the homerism is just a lack of knowledge about the league as a whole. More casual fans who really only watch the Patriots games and don’t pay much attention to what’s going on around the league. The fans who dismiss any small criticism with the patented “well we win Super Bowls” argument. They know year in year out the Patriots will be a top 3 if not the top overall team and they just assume since that is the case everything the team does is correct. They don’t really know or understand a lot of the rules or ins and outs of the game and just like to be apart of something that wins and is looked upon with envy from the other 31 fan bases. That being said I certainly believe you’re correct about them being bandwagoners. When BB and Brady retire they aren’t likely to keep posting here, keep watching games, and buying jerseys unless the team continues to win. When the Patriots don’t roll out of bed to a 12 win season it won’t be as easy for them to follow along and they will lose interest.Homers are the most fickle kind of fans there are.

When you have to start off your counter argument by being intentionally intellectually dishonest, both with me and with yourself, you have to know that this won’t go well for you. Those people were pretty clearly talking about the direction the game is going in and about Goodell. Not how competitive the team is or isn’t. But perhaps you have someone in mind so that you can reference their post to prove me wrong?There are actually several here who have already posted that they're out the moment BB and/or Brady leave.
Takes all kinds.....
