Yeah, their fans aren't babbling, crying little babies that want to go 19-0 every season or it's considered a bust. Nothing to see here, folks. Just a spoiled fanbase overreacting to a bad season marred by injuries. What else is new?

Ya ok!! Now we are comparing tomlin to belichik!! Last time I checked; they're going to the playoffs and we're making a 3rd stringer look like a pro bowler!! I don't care how you want to look at it. We struggle against all the bottom teams in the league. That is coaching my friend. Injuries!! Everyone has them!!

Lol; go look at the last offensive possession!! Yup; injuries!! 3 consecutive run plays. These coaches are a joke!!

If that's what you got out of what I said then I don't know what to tell you. You're looking for reasons to be pissed off now and you're completely and utterly missing the point of what I was saying, but I guess that's what I get for trying to defend a Super Bowl winning coach from getting fired after one down season.

EDIT: Pat's Fans = "No Sense, No Feeelings, No ...'"
We, on the hand, just "critisize" ourselves intelligently, and politely <- LoL, but seriously don't be so prudish bud.

My brother is a Patriots fan. All his buddies are Patriots fans. I was on their boards looking around and none - absolutely none - were freaking out and wanting anyone's head or for anyone to be sat. Were they surprised to lose at home to a bad team? Sure, but they didn't freak out and start bitching like there's no tomorrow. Don't condescend me if you're backing your own post with opinions not shared by the entire fanbase of another team. Go back and look at what they said on their boards and look at how much different it was than our losses. Our fans are spoiled little babies and all we want are perfect seasons and when we don't get them, the 'WTF FIRE TOMLIN AND TRADE BEN' threads come out based on ... nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I'm all for criticism, but directed at the right people and the correct problems. Saying fire Tomlin and other ridiculous things gets us nowhere.

just as I correctly predicted, an easy cover...

I can't believe we gave up 138 yrds rushing to them! We didn't kill their 3rd team QB either. Played well enough to win and by default - SCREW our draft position. This was a disaster of a season but I don't put all the balme on the coaches. As they say though, players win, coaches lose. That's the name of the game.

I will say though, as Billicheck has done many times in his career, Tomlin's decisions cost us a couple of games this year. Tenn and Cincy. Other than that, I am excited for next year.

that 3rd string QB made could make the short passes pretty good. He didn't look like it was his first start, he'll be a quality backup or a starter some day. His long passes weren't so good though.

I agree, I thought he done a damn good job for his first game, until Timmons gave him that welcome to the NFL sack. He knocked the living shit out of him.

that was a nice hit! Timmons has really come on as a football player.

Thought he played decent

If hadn't heard this news earlier this week, I would have assumed that it was Spergon Wynn 'backing for the Browns.
