I hate the patriots as much as the next guy but I couldn't stand the thought of those cocky bastards talking all off season about being a dynasty! I hate everything about Seattle from Wilson to their stupid ass fans. Thank god they choked!
Well, the problem with this is that an even cockier and more obnoxious fan-base is now going to be spending the entire off-season talking. Seattle, unfortunately, was the lesser evil. I knew this before the game and it was proven very quickly after the games. For those of you that don't post on more general NFL forums, you won't notice but as a person that does, the main NFL forum immediately became inundated with completely idiotic threads from Patriots fans(most likely bandwagoners).
Threads like, "Is Revis now the GOAT?" "Does this game prove Brady is the GOAT?" "Where do the Patriots stack up against recent Super Bowl winners?"(this thread doesn't sound bad...until you open it and find Patriots fans bitching at and harassing any person who doesn't think they'd beat almost all or all of the last 6 Super Bowl winners) "Where does Butler's INT rank all time among Super Bowl plays?" "Bill Belichick's Legacy" "What grade would you give Brady's Super Bowl appearance?"(Anything less than an "A" gets you harassed by Patriots homers)...trust me, the list goes on.
And it isn't just the mass influx of fans...as I hinted at with my comments, anything posted in there that doesn't sing the praises of NE or their players get you harassed by their arrogant, obnoxious fans.
I'm just not posting in that forum for the foreseeable future...it's that bad.
If Seattle had won it, it wouldn't be nearly as bad. Here's what I guarantee you would be said: "Is Russell Wilson elite?" "Is Seattle's defense the best of all time?" "Where does Seattle rank all time as a team?" "Pete Carroll's legacy"...that would likely be more or less the extent of it. There might be a Sherman thread on top of that. But it would be mild...and the Seahawks fans would be much less irritating if you posted something that wasn't riding the dick of one of their players.
Some of you will disagree and tell me that Seahawk fans are much worse...maybe where you live...but on the internet, the Patriots have by far the worst fan-base in the NFL.
In person, I don't know too many Seattle fans and the New England fans that I am friends with are decent guys. But the internet truly brings out the worst in people...and with Patriots fans, it brings out their arrogance, superiority complexes(they think they're smarter than everyone else), and their defensiveness(compensating for something...).
