Go Pats and I'm looking forward to the new Best Quarterback in football and League MVP Drake Maye, the greatest quarterback blossoming before our eyes, take part in beating down those old news one man band Buffalo Bills.

 

Honest question: are you twelve years old? Or thirteen?

[boyst]

...um... you come to a rivals board and throw up a white flag? we don't even know or care who you are...

 

the combined record of the Patriots 3 uncommon games

Buf: Texans, Chiefs, Eagles: 22-17

NE*: Titans, Raiders, Giants: 6-33

 

ya'll lost to the raiders and giants... 

 

the teams with winning records you beat that we played: bucs, panthers, steelers...

 

Bills flogged all of them.

 

the patriots shuld have lost to the falcons and the Bucs were a walking corpse.

 

the first time the Bills played the Patriots the Bills got whooped and still almost overcame their mistakes.

 

the patriots are good, sure. but they're not anywhere close to the dynasty they once had.

 

these two teams are more equal than most realize in their abilities and potential. neither team must win this weekend to ensure or alter their future.

 

also, on a personal note to you but sad since you're probably 22 years old... it's sad to me you're not about 10-15 years older to have supported the team when they were on the verge of moving because no one cared about the team. too bad they didn't have diehard fans like you back then...

 

(now quick, name me 10 players from 2005-2012)

Hmm...I don't remember seeing you at all when your team was sucking.  Goodbye, Paytoilet troll.

Either age, a wanker troll.

Because its fun lol.  You guys know it would be boring without rival fans visiting before a big showdown. 

Go away.

I've never liked trash talking.  I complain about my favorite teams enough already.

Lets keep in mind, as football fans we respectfully trash talk each other.  Thats what fans of opposite teams do, especially rivals like Patriots and Bills.  Its part of football and being NFL fans, and the banter back and forth should be all fun.  No one should be taking it seriously.  Its just trash talking.  Just had to relay this as a Patriots fan before folks started to take me too seriously as a visitor on the forum.  Now, with that being said.. Go Pats and I'm looking forward to the new Best Quarterback in football and League MVP Drake Maye, the greatest quarterback blossoming before our eyes, take part in beating down those old news one man band Buffalo Bills.

The Pats are not the Bills rival yet

[Jared]

Am I the only one who thinks trash talking is really really dumb?  I post on opposing fan's boards occasionally because I actually like talking football, and talking football with fans of different teams is way more interesting than just talking with fans of my own team, in part because of differences in perspectives and biases.  But all it takes is one person to accuse someone else of acting in bad faith and things go spiraling off the rails.

I heard a good joke the other day........Drake Maye as MVP.

I'm 39 years old and have been watching the Patriots since Bledsoe, I'm just enjoying trash talking.  When it comes to sports, I talk alot of sh*t, but just for fun.  Not to piss anyone off.

 

I'm sure you vividly remember the moment you became a Pats fan.  Bledsoe was playing quarterback and took a vicious sideline hit.  Then some new kid came in to play quarterback.

Anyway we can call his mother to turn off the parental filter to help this kid grow up?

 

Can we trace the IP address, too? Maybe it's a loony bin or special needs school...

I think we can all agree that if he didn't become a fan until his teens then he certainly doesn't live anywhere even close to Boston.

[Gregg]

Most Pats "fans" even the older ones don't know who Steve Grogan is or Andre Tippett is. Boston has always been a Sox town. Even the B's and Celtics got more love than the Pats. It wasn't until the dynasty with Bill and Tom that they started paying attention to the Pats.

my neighbors kids:

the oldest loves the Cowboys - he's 11

the middle loves the Patriots - he's 10

the youngest loves the Chiefs - he's 7

 

their mom and dad are steelers fans....

 

it's sad when that happens.

You should call CPS.

Ok. So now we have a troll, basically admitting he's her to troll. Totally permissable. But God forbid you mention something Bills related, on a Bills message board in a Sunday night game thread the Bills aren't playing in.

So with that being said I'd never wear a Mac Jones jersey.  

That's not what my mom said. BTW, you owe me a bag of Doritos.

My mental image of Instincts:

 

5’9” 41 year old, 264 lbs, wearing a Bruins jersey with a Red Sox cap, in line at Dunkin to get his large coffee with double sugar, a cruller and Munchkin 12 pack. Has won numerous arguments about the Glory Days and keeps his Mac Jones jersey in the closet just in case he pans out. 

You say this like it's a bad thing?

[gonzo1105]

I just read that the Patriots have the 7th easiest schedule………in the Super Bowl era. Not this year , not this decade, but in the entire modern football era

[Johnnycage46]

We can get suspended for mentioning the word "Bills" in an around the NFL thread...but this type of thread is A-OK. Great stuff.
