Well wait a second . With the salary the fans gushing the women comes a deal you have to put up with the criticism. The scrutiny . It’s a fair trade off . Jerry had plenty of success early in his ownership but almost over 30 yrs later it’s getting to be like a repeat performance. The latest version is is 13-14 after 27 games. The version before got fired for lots of 8-8 seasons .

That's why I laugh at people demanding "home town" discounts. Like they would take a lesser pay from their jobs.

We are fanatics, but to players and coaches....it's a job. We have many different members here and most of us have jobs that we are paid to do and judged on our performance...we compete against other companies and coworkers....same for these guys....many of us live vicariously through them and some of us go a bit to far with hate, homerism, whatever.....just like a pee wee league parent ripping a 5 year for missing a block.
I was pissed off on Thursday, many players and coaches to blame....at the end of the day, my griping or my defending players and coaches don't make a difference, and it doesn'tmake me feel better....

That said, the difference in fans is what makes this place fun and frustrating as well.
After a loss, the bottom dwellers come here pounding the chests celebrating failure. It’s pathetic and takes all enjoyment out of coming here.

Misery loves company. Tons of people out there that waiting to pounce and crap on others when the opportunity arises. It's pretty sad and pathetic but a simple fact of the society we currently live in with social media and whatnot

Not many jobs pay millions to toss a ball around.

Thankfully, 100,000 people didn't gather to watch me do my job and critique every little move I made. Or get drunk on the sofa, yelling at me on the TV and spitting nacho crumbs on the poor dog.
you also don’t make millions of dollars year.

Good Post, but you left out one very important aspect. FANS buy the tickets, fans buy the Team merchandise, fans watch the TV, which pay the NFL billions of dollars to broadcast...

It may be a Job for the Players and Coaches but its the FANS that make it all possible to include paying the bills....

Fans don't have to buy tickets etc...that's the beauty of it....we have a choice....players don't, they'll be cut in a heartbeat when the brass is done with them.

Fan = Fanatic

It's not supposed to be some numb blase, unconscious activity.


Having said that...we do have some rapid uncivilized overly aggressive behavior here by some people. Just here to bully and insult other fans.
yep, they are no way they can function in society when they get mad crazy about a player. I know I would not want them dating my mom, sister, or daughter.
