Something I found funny.

This will be a very brief fanpost. I’m busy packing for my return to the U.S. from a semester in Europe, but this was just too much and I had to comment on it. I was reading through a chat with Fran Charles on NFL.com and a Patriots fan named Paul asked if the Patriots would have another perfect season. I burst out laughing.

First, if you want to call it a perfect season, was a fluke. There were a large number of games that year the Patriots almost lost, including their annual November contest against the Colts. So there is only the slimmest of chances that it happens again.

Second, and most importantly, it was not a perfect season. The Patriots were not undefeated; they lost the Super Bowl. The ’72 Dolphins won EVERYTHING. The Patriots may have gone 16-0 in the regular season, but they went 18-1 overall. Not even the Pat-loving media refers to that as a perfect season.

Only Pats fans will refer to that as their ‘perfect season.’ To the rest of us, it is the ultimate poetic justice: winning every game but the one that matters.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors.

First things first...

You need to stop reading things written by Pats fans. It turns your brain into oatmeal.

Secondly, I find it a little fishy that after all these botched surgeries, infections and fears that Brady’s leg would have to be amputated late last winter, how is he all of a sudden “stronger than ever,” as the Pats media would have us believe? That sounds like hoodie propaganda to me. Furthermore, don’t the Patriots have huge issues with their secondary and (still) aging LB corps? Just because a team has 3 times as many draft choices as what is normal, it doesn’t make them automatically good. Not all of their rookies will pan out. Hell, one of them already has a torn ACL. Lastly, I see at least six games the Pats will have trouble winning: 3 of their 4 AFC south opponents, New Orleans (because of that old, sad and overrated Pats defense), Atlanta and Baltimore. Assuming they split with the Dolphins, they may not even win 10 games! Perfect season! Sheeeeeit.!

Not a surprise

I’m not surprised that patriots fans think they had and will have again a “perfect” season. Living in Patriots country, i have discovered that the teams fans think that they are like the best ever and that its the end of the world when they lose. So bottom line, not that much of surprise.
