Why is it ok to overreact for a win but not to when they lose

[BradyFTW!]

Dont make me dig up a million comments on how the dolphins would beat us... Embarrassing Patriots fans. I expect a win every week but these negative nellies stink this board up with their bs

No need, I'll admit that I predicted the Pats to lose a close one. I'm pumped that my prediction didn't come true. There were a lot of legitimate reason to be worried, and the Pats came out and gave a really encouraging performance. How about we talk about that rather than trying to have some ******ed contest about who's the better fan.

Hey, an OT thing.... I didn't really focus on Connolly at all, because I was watching other aspects of the offense tonight. If either you or your interviewee could offer some breakdown of how he did, I'd appreciate it. He looked as if he was having a pretty good game from what I saw, but I was focusing on the tight ends and the right side of the line for the most part.

Definitely, will do: I'll see if I can get Jay or someone else who knows way more about evaluating players than I do, because doing that well is definitely a fair bit over my head.

A huge win on Monday night over a hated division rival led by a young defense that's beginning to emerge is something to be happy about. There are still going to be rough times ahead, more bad games, so enjoy this moment.

Being a sports fan can be an awful thing. There are so many bad times, so many painful moments. But if you're not going to enjoy the good times, seriously, what is the point?

Nobody's claiming Kyle Arrington is our best corner since Ty Law or that Ninkovich is a Pro Bowler or Chung is a HOFer. We're just celebrating one big win. You should be too.
