Don't know why all Pats fans are labelled bandwagoners. I started watching the NFL in 2006 and until that Butler interception, all I had known as a Pats fan were the heartbreaking defeats to the Giants.

A better bandwagon would've been the ones heading off to Pittsburg.
Historically speaking...Pats were the laughing stock of the NFL, and some of us cant wait for them to return to their rightful place lol

Talking about the Steelers, according to Rapoport Bryant violated the league's substance abuse policy and faces a year long suspension.

Yup, another player trying his best to waste his talent.

One year suspension, you know what that means, right?

Repeat offender!

They've been the class of the league for 15 years. That's not all you knew either. You knew division titles and playoff victories and super bowl appearances.

The lions haven't won a division title since 93, have won 1 playoff game since 57 and have never even made it to a super bowl.

What are you looking for in a team? Big or small market? Warm or cold weather? Recent success or down on their luck? Prefer running or passing? Offense or defense?
I am not a fücking bills fan, I am just stuck living in their sphere of influence. Well not really stuck but you know what I mean. Go Phins you untalented bunch of pansies

Up until I moved to the UK I hadn't watch a single NFL game before. Only team I knew about were the niners only because my mate brought some Joe Montana stickers to school when we were kids.

The 1st game I ever watched was the NE v Giants in 07. Even that I fell asleep after 1st quarter. Frankly thought it was boring. I chose to support NE that game simply because they had England in their name. I just liked the team (cool logo and all) but I wasn't really a "proper" fan until I watched them lose to Giants again and it was a similar feeling when Utd lost a game.

I wasn't aware of playoff records as the only games I could ever watch on TV was the superbowl. I only just started paying attention to post season games like 2 years ago. I'm just saying the better bandwagon would've been the Steelers or Giants.

Don't get me wrong, you should support whoever you want to support. You're just not going to convince me it has been tough to be a Patriots fan.

It hasn't, you're right. But you aren't going to convince me that that fact alone makes me a bandwagon fan either.

Are the Texans' fans notorious idiots or I stumbled on a bad comment section?

BJ Raji taking a sabbatical at 29. Decent player, never quite reached the heights expected of him.

Either way, Packers weren't ready for this...

How do you mean?

From what I read in the nfl.com comments sections, it's mostly Pats vs Seahawks fans or deluded 'Boys fans on there.

I was reading an article on SBNation(Battleredblog) and I stumbled on a comment section and while idiots is a strong word, the smugness is unreal, it's like Bluemoon.

Typical after a few potentially good but certainly promising signing. Haven't come across any Texans fans myself but I hope it's the exception rather than the norm!

Look at @Edgar Allan Pillow, living in Jersey about 3 miles from Metlife Stadium and supporting a team that's mainly made of cheese. Very definition of a bandwagon fan.

@adexkola, we should really have EAP pay for beer next time we meet.

The feck, where is the bandwagon? I missed it.

And my choice for Packers is scientifically backed. I took 4 different internet quiz and 3 of them recommended me for GB. You can't get more scientific than that unless you are born into it. :angel: And Fergie's respect for Lombardi tips the balance.

Yup, been quite long since we had a meet @adexkola @RDCR07 time you'll be free?

It's getting warm too. Any afternoon in April should work.

Chandler Jones traded by Pats to Cards for 2nd round pick and Jonathan Cooper. Were always gonna struggle to retain him but still sad to see him go. Was part of the draft which signaled the turn around on Defence

We better be getting new contracts to Hightower, Collins & Butler.

How good is Cooper? Is he an upgrade on what we currently have?

He doesn't seem to be highly rated but Belichick knows better, so...

Jones will be a big miss. Hopefully Cooper has the thing that only Belichick can see. We should make use though of that 2nd rounder if recent drafts are to go by.

We are pinning hopes on Collins and Hightower.

Mike Wallace throwing a cheap shot at Bridgewater:

"When this process started, I knew that I wasn't going back to Minnesota," Wallace said, per The Baltimore Sun. "I was like, 'I need a quarterback' who I know is proven and can get things done."
Seems pretty unnecessary. He had less than 500 receiving yards last season, admittedly in a run-heavy offense but still. I doubt he'll do much better in Baltimore next year.

Diggs had more yards in less games, Diggs had 1.1 yards per snaps while Wallace had 0.63 yards per snaps.

Bennett's a good pick-up, I expect he and Gronk will be very effective together especially in the RedZone. We still need another option at WR & another RB.

Chris Long also signed. Seems to be a low risk high reward pick-up. The experts seem to like that move.

Patriots fan takeover in 3,2,1..
:lol:

So two personal fouls could be automatic ejection.

Thoughts? Aside from Talib being in trouble.
