The only issue I have with that attitude is those fans payed a lot of fucking money to go to those games. So much so, Craft has priced out most true fans for “pink hats” that can actually afford to go to a game. So when they win the crowd is silent and the games suck, and most times when they lose everyone just leaves in the 3rd.
That stadium blows for seeing games now. There are like 10,000 actual fans and the other 40,000 are there for the other team or to get drunk and say they were there.
I know it is “cool” for everyone to hate the teams that win consistently, but there is no reason for someone to “love” that ANY team played so poorly that the people that dropped close to $300 during these economic times to go enjoy a game are so frustrated that they boo the entire game.

Yes, there is a reason…I don’t like some of the players on that team and I don’t like the coach. That’s why I loved it. You may feel thats a d-bag attitude but I can’t help myself. If you were a Steeler fan like myself you would understand lol.
What you say about the fans I couldn’t agree more with you. I feel bad for the fans for all the reasons you listed. I’ve been to a bunch of games over the years myself. I can never get good seats but when I go to a game there is all these “corporate” seats empty, WTF?

I guess I’m just insulted as someone who enjoys the game, that an organization actually thinks it is acceptable to play like they did on Sunday, in the fucking playoffs, at home.
It was a slap in the face to the fans of the team, and to fans around the league. They looked like shit, played like shit and acted like shitty little teenagers who were being told no. There was no fire, no desire, no want to even play. I would put money on the fact the towel boy even did a shitty job yesterday. The entire organization STARTING with the douchebag coach on, fucking sucked yesterday, and every fan in the stands should get a refund for the $6.50 they paid for a hot chocolate based on how shitty that “team” played yesterday. (Not to take away from the Ravens, who played great fucking smash mouth football.)

Are you serious? I guarantee you cannot and would not find one individual in the Patriot organization, one that has built an image of winning both in the regular and post-season, that is satisfied or views the results of Sunday’s game as “acceptable”. And “no want/desire to even play” and you even said so that the Raven’s played smash mouth right off the bat. Rice hit a home run on the first play of the game followed by a turnover from Brady’s blindside. The Ravens were on the fortunate side early and continued to roll and indeed played smash mouth. But to say no one from New England cared or gave a shit is ridiculous. Unlike the Packers in their own early struggle, the Patriots never caught a break and got that momentum swing (Woodson stripping Fitz). No one on any team in the league from owner to punter is OK with losing especially in the fashion that the Patriots lost Sunday.
