That it was made by a pats fan trying to show that they aren't the only team that cheats doesn't make it inaccurate, counting everything that vaguely looks like it might kind of be cheating even if it's a completely unsubstantiated accusation as a "confirmed case of cheating" and assigning them a completely arbitrary number of "cheatpoints" makes it inaccurate.

Hi! I'm awkward.
The reason there's so much hate for the New England Patriots is that they keep ruining the hopes and dreams of the other teams in the league. Whether it's the Falcons or the Seahawks or the Bills or whoever, teams get on these hot streaks and fans start saying "this is going to be the year we go all the way!". Then they play the Pats and get wrecked. This leads to a lot of ad-hominem attacks and childlike name calling, along with accusations of cheating. But guess what? Your team cheats too. They all cheat. Chill out.

I think the only team in the playoffs that could have beat the Pats was the Jags. Now that they're out it's basically a forgone conclusion that the Pats are going to win. It's not going to be a blowout or anything, but the Jags D and offense are way better than the Eagles.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



So, in conclusion:

gently caress.

The Patriots.

I hadn't given the site more than a cursory look over a year ago, actually. I didn't read the FAQ or anything. If it's trash then mea culpa and I deserve a bunch of lolquotes. Frankly, I don't care that much. I like watching good plays way more than I care about who is making them.

edit:
And the source being a Pats fan doesn't make it inaccurate. It still might be bullshit obviously, but not for that reason. That's all I said and all I meant.

Patriots' Season Perfect For Rest Of Nation

quote:

"The worst part for me is that none of them seem to enjoy playing football," said Lexington, KY-area mechanic Jack Colgrave. "Even when they were winning, all they did was taunt—Randy Moss taunting crowds, Wes Welker telling people they sucked, Brady sneering at the very idea they might get beat someday. What a bunch of absolutely perfect assholes."

"Did their team plane land safely back in Foxborough?" Colgrave asked. "It didn't happen to lose altitude over Boston, burst into a cartwheel of flames, throwing players like Roman candles across New England, and then slam into few dozen loudmouth Patriots' fans houses? It didn't? Well, I guess no football season is perfect."

The problem with the Patriots is that every call goes their way, their quarterback is some sort of handsome football demigod, their coach can turn any rag tag group of players into champions, and their fans all talk like idiots.

Funny how confirmation bias works. If I didn't have a life I'd edit together a compilation of all of the non-calls and bogus flags that went the other way; no one remembers guys climbing Gronk like a tree (to be fair, the only way to stop him) and the refs twiddling their thumbs. The refs have just been awful in general this year and have hosed every single team over multiple times.....but also helped every team by loving their opponent. Pats fans only remember the calls that hosed the team over, non-Pats-fans only remember the ones that hurt the other team, plus some legit calls on both sides that they refuse to see reason about simply because they don't like the result, and everyone hates everyone else. It's easier to say there's a conspiracy in the whole NFL to prop up the Patriots than to be rational.


I just love how worked up people get over it, poo poo that is not socially acceptable at all but football gives them a pass....guys trying to start poo poo with me in a Publix because I'm wearing a Patriots hoodie the one day of the year it's cold in FL. gently caress me for growing up 20 miles from Foxboro I guess?:shrug:

Football fans in general just suck, and I appear to be in the minority that can just watch my own team each season and not yell at people in supermarkets because they like a team that beat the team I like :smith:

Man everyone seems to forget that Belichick was the head coach for the Browns before they got shipped off to Baltimore. And they sucked then too.

Disclaimer: I really don't care about football, so I don't know if that means anything; I just used to laugh about the home team here being one of the worst in all of sport but now it's not even worth it

Seriously, gently caress "gently caress their fans" because that includes little kids and passive sports fans who happen to live in a geographical area like my dear nana.



Root for your home teams! Where you are from and where you live! I have lived in FL for over a decade and root for the Jags but I'm going to root for my childhood home team forever too and gently caress whoever wants to be a judgemental tool about it.

This is where the whole sports derail should end. Support who you want, don't be a dick about it, post funny pictures. Or, if you want to be a raging rear end in a top hat, go to the part of the forum dedicated to just that, and leave the rest of us alone.

If you're watching 4 hours of NFL, you're getting just under 20 minutes of actual football, and most of that will be boring. Watch a highlight package afterwards.

Statistics like this come up a lot, but "players standing around between plays" is significant. Seeing the way they line up, the pre-snap motion, that's just as much a part of the game as the actual "gameplay."
