Sad day for Patriots fans - Blu-ray Forum

fatediesel · 12-28-2008, 11:31 PM

Despite going 11-5 the Patriots will miss the playoffs. The only other team to miss the playoffs with this record was the 1985 Denver Broncos.
The Patriots lost to the Jets, Dolphins, Colts, Chargers and Steelers. All of these teams came into the final day of the season with a chance to make the playoffs.
After beating the Bills in the early game they needed the Jets to beat the Dolphins at home to win the division. Brett Favre had a typical Brett Favre game, throwing 3 interceptions, including a virtual game clincher when he threw a pass high trying to catch the defense off guard. I never liked Favre, and I hope his legacy is tarnished by his stupid and selfish decision that he wanted to come back right before training camp. I actually hope he doesn't retire, because I'll enjoy the day when the Jets release him. This is actually the 2nd time a Favre led team has tanked and kept the Pats out of the playoffs, as his Pack in 2002 lost to the Jets to give the Jets the division.
The GM of the Jets should be fired for trading for Favre. He had a good quarterback in Chad Pennington and released him for a over the hill Favre,. Pennington and the Dolphins are going to the playoffs, and Pennington is a legit MVP candidate.
I apologize for this rambling and for offending you Favre fans. I'm just saddened by an 11 win Pats team not making the playoffs, yet a 9 win Cardinals team (whom the Patriots blasted 47-7) and either a 9 win Broncos team (whom the Patriots blasted 41-7) or an 8 win Chargers team (who I admit, blasted the Patriots) making the playoffs. Thank you for your time.

I love the fact that the Pats aren't in the playoffs, not sure who I'm rooting for to get to the Super Bowl since my team doesn't ever make the playoffs (49ers). You are right about Brett Favre though, he came back because he didn't want his last pass to be an int. However his last game he throws 3 picks. Guess he's coming back next year till he gets it right.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy than Bill Belichick.

Yeah, any fans of teams like the Patriots and Cowboys complaining can just shut up.

They could be Lions fans like me.

0-16 this season.
1-23 in their last 24 games.
Went 3 consecutive seasons without a road victory. (0-24)
31-97 since Matt Millen was hired. He was finally fired early this season after a 0-3 start.
Has won 1 playoff game in 50 years.

You guys could have it worse.... much worse.

Yeah he didn't even shake Coughlin's hand after the Superbowl...

Good, I can't stand the Pats. This years playoffs are going to be really awesome I think since there is no real clear cut favorite but alot of good teams.

Psychonaut · 12-29-2008, 02:33 AM

Pats fan here. This officially sucks

My mind is a little shot, what happened the last time the Eagles played in those swirling winds and frigid air?

Yes sir. I like to play the Vikes again with the starters.

Not so easy when you can't steal the other teams defensive signs? Get ready for something along these lines...

Colts as always for me (I'm a transplanted Hoosier, and I put up with them when they came from Baltimore and were TERRIBLE). I like to root for the Packers, but with the mess this year... well, not an issue. Hopefully they can keep from their nigh-overwhelming urge not to choke in the post-season.

Oh, and as a Colts fan... any time I see the Patriots having a bad time, I can't help but get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I HATE the Patriots as only a truly obsessed fan can.

callas01 · 01-01-2009, 08:12 AM

I'm a 49ers fan and after all the people that hated on me and my team while we made the playoffs year after year in the 80's and early 90's the only thing I have to say for you Patriots fans is go cry to someone else... preferrably in Mass. somewhere.
