Blue and White scrimmage

[Risen Star]

Well, I guess I have no choice but to assume that our defense is awesome.

They had those "Driven" t-shirts on under their pads.

The Patriots are actually meeting my standards, which you just acknowledged.

Thing is, they have always had a real head coach. Oops.

So by your standard the other 31 teams' fans should whine and moan like you do then.

I just think you like discontent for its own sake.

 

[Risen Star]

You want me to be positive?

I feel good about Xavier Woods. I think he can actually be a good safety. Not a hey he's not bad safety. An actual good one.

 

[Idgit]

Wrong.

People like @Idgit and @FuzzyLumpkins are the real fans.

You really should take your cues from them.

You really should @waldoputty.

 

[Idgit]

LOL

You don't even qualify for the get off my lawn credit.

All are free to play.

Edgelord.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

fan = fanatic

Since when do fanatics ***** and moan about their cause all the time?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

teams deploy tanking in all 3 major sports

Tanking has never worked in the NFL. The Colts were the most recent and what has acquiring Luck accomplished for them?

Since ever

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Since ever

fanatics are defined by their unwavering loyalty and uncritical devotion. They do not listen to dissent and are ever enthusiastic. Look up what the word means.

 

[Risen Star]

Name an NFL team. GO.

The Baltimore Ravens.

Name an NBA team. No googling.

If the patriots are your standard, then no cowboy team has ever met your standard. The 70s cowboys or 90s cowboys didnt do what the pats have done over the past 18 years. The have more wins and appearances in 18 years than we have had over 58 years. They're doing in the cap era when it's not suppose to be done. We won't ever see this again.

With that said, I agree this fan base has lowered it standards. But they also HIGHLY overreact to a practice.

I know what the word means. I just think it differs if the person is an optimist or pessimist by nature.

I hope you didn’t pull something when writing that post.

Easy. Spurs to get Tim Duncan

When did the Ravens tank?

Sports fans are not fanatics. The term fan is derived from fanatic but the meanings have obviously diverged. Fanatics are defined by unwavering loyalty and blind devotion. It is what it is.

This searing critique commentary on the drafted player would be so much more effective had you actually spelled the guys name correctly. Not just the first name which is Connor, but his last name is McGovern.

As a side note, once he is dominating the guard position for this team, does his nickname become The Governor?

I hope I am missing a joke here because I am pretty sure Risen didn’t think our new OG was named after a MMA fighter.

 

[HungryLion]

You’re from PA aren’t you?

Trust the process.

Loyalty and devotion can be expressed differently. Just because they don't plod along like obedient sheep doesn't mean they are not devoted or loyal. Everybody has their view on what's best. It is what it is.

 

[Sydla]

No. I made an observation.

Fact is that Cowboys fans were spoiled by Landry and Johnson and act like winning a playoff game is not an achievement because it is not the SB. It is rife amongst older fans.

I find it amazing that anyone around here thinks they are in a position claim another's argument as an excuse. You do understand that for something/one to be excused they have to be blamed or at fault for something right?

They have like 5 playoff wins in two decades. They are a bottom quarter of the league in terms of playoff success for two decades.

Think about that. One of the supposed greatest franchises in the NFL has been one of the worst post season teams over the last two decades.

But hey! One of those playoffs wins came last year so we got that!
