do I REALLY need to link to every arguably not football related thread in the Pool?Fans of football teams are, per se, football related topics. If a Pats fan shot a Jets fan at a football game, that would be Shark Pool material.
This is absolutely true. Jealousy is definitely the reason behind this, and why I hope the Pats lose this weekend (though I expect they will win since that just seems to be what they do). Here is the double standard for you. Unless it is my team, I have no desire to see a team go on this sort of run. The Bears are my team, but to say the least I am cheering for the Broncos this week.Jealousy, plain and simple. Your team is winning while we have to watch our teams play second fiddle (or worse). We want it to end. It isn't that hard.....I am a Raider fan, so if I think the Broncs will win that says something....
Maybe it says I know nothing about football, after all I cheer for the Raiders. Who knows.
Seriously thinking about switching allegiances to the Bills, that's how bad it is in Raiderland these days (and I just moved within 200 miles of Buffalo)
Pats fans sure are edgy right now. I meant the post as a little light humor on a Friday and it turned into this....wow.
Except that the Broncos pass D and run D are both better than the Patriots', the pass Os are comparable, and the Bronco run O is much better.Yeah, because all rational human beings know that most horrible teams finish at 12-4, or 11-5 at the wors
The general consensus is this. The Broncos pass D is their weakness, but passing is the Pats strength. The Patriot run D is their strentgh, but also the Broncos strength. Simply put, I think the Tom Brady led Pats will be able to do more against the Broncos D than the Jake led Donkeys will be able to do against he Pats.
Actually, if you carefully read the Original Post, he states some pretty good analysis of the matchup between the Pats and the Broncos, and give his spin on why he believes the game should be a good one. He talks about the flow of last week's Pats-Jags Wild Card game, Brady's stats on the road, Plummers stats at home... some interesting football related information there.And, on top of that, he manages to present the information in a well thought out, satirical, humorous way which has obviously gotten the intended response out of a number of Patriots fans.
I've been around almost 4 years and you have never heard of me before, but I picked now to start fishing......right.........Like I said, I think the Pats fans are a little edgy right now, I would be too if it was the team I cheered for. I have yet to see MANY well thought out reasons why the Pats will win this week (there have been a couple in other threads so I won't say NONE).
Hey - Spike, we had this discussion in PM.This is no longer OPEN for discussion.
If the Broncos had won 3 out of 4 SB's, I would be shouting from the top of the mountain how great we are. I would be beating my chest every chance I had. I can't fault Pats fans for doing the same.For the record, some of my best friends are Pats fans. They are rational, and can have intelligent conversations (when sober). They are NOT whiny tools.
See this guy gets what I am saying! You forgot:4. Does the rulebook specifically say you can't use Vaseline?
I hope you aren't including me in "YOUR" I already admitted to my chagrine that I was a Raider fan (obligatory
)
As a rational Pats fan, I can't stand these threads because it's a no win situation. You either ignore it -- and it doesn't go away OR you respond in kind which makes you look juvenile OR you respond and people accuse you of whining.I think making a comeback typical Broncos fan thread would be silly. Besides, they don't have much to say that makes any sense anyhow. 
Now THAT is funny!I think making a comeback typical Broncos fan thread would be silly. Besides, they don't have much to say that makes any sense anyhow.
1. Yes, we have a winning streak, but I don't know where you heard this one from, I haven't heard this argument from anybody yet and I live in NE.2. It's simple as that, we have Brady, which means we have a QB that's clutch in big games, a good decision maker, and one that led the league in passing yards with no 1000 yard receivers.
enver Passing: 229 yardsDenver Rushing 147 yardsNE Passing: 267 yardsNE Rushing: 67 yardsYes I am projecting that the Broncs will be able to rush against the Pats, one of the reasons I think the Broncs will win. Edited out my last line: oops, looking at the wrong line of my spreadsheet...nevermind Pats fans, blackdot this for later!
I don't see the initial post as being that big of a deal. Some will find it funny, others will be too sensitive, and others don't care one way or the other. I found it somewhat amusing. Certainly no worse than the dumb Manning threads created by Pat fans.I guess that's why they make vanilla and chocolate, but I didn't find it funny at all. I get that it was an attempt at humor, I just found it lame. We're just not breaking any ground here. There are several other threads with actual discussion in them. This one's just hogging up the bandwidth. The FFA pulls off the satire bit much better.

Yeah, really, pat patriot. this post belongs in one of the "rational" type threads, instead of being buried here...Don't go bringing logical, well thought out posts into this thread...
