2014 NFL Season

[Bammer]

If their fans turn into Patriots west...

Bammer is doing his best, Nate.

He's skipping a few levels to full on: "this IS the next NFL dynasty" mode.

What's in between?

I remember a few Pats fans posting on the old board during that 18-1 season that talked the Pats up so much that they never showed their faces around RM again. I think Ozymandius was one of them, but there was another Pats fan that disappeared either forever or a little while.

Heh, Cary Williams, the guy who called the Pats cheaters over and over, just pick sixed Brady--though the INT wasn't Brady's fault.

GrimmaceXX got his own thread on that subject.

Chris does a good job of enforcing against excessive sports forum hubris.

Grimmace!!! I knew you'd remember that thread

Glad I could follow through.

Meanwhile, good god, all these flags are making the preseason unbearable. This better just be temporary.

I enjoy philly's o-line being mostly quick and athletic guys and then... Jason Peters

[Mecca]

though to be fair to him, Peters is one of those huge guys that can move quicker than you'd think

I can't come up with a better adjective than unbearable. Jesus.

[Bammer]

One more tidbit. Seahawks fans ... Many of them anyway ... Call themselves "Twelves"

Local radio and tv guys open broadcasts with "Hello Twelves and welcome to the game..."

I will never refer to myself as a Twelve. Promise.

That's insufferable

[Bammer]

Nothing new here but preseason pregame broadcasts have a unique feel to them. Not a word about the opponent. It's all about what to watch regarding position battles for your own team.

Irked me the first time I ever heard it and I have grown to hate it more over time.

I think I just have a problem with the number 12 in general because, you know, Tom Brady.

Don't worry Bammer, Texas A&M will always hold the title for for most obnoxious usage of 12th man, and it's not even close. They even sued the Seahawks over its usage, and I remember when they also threatened the Broncos when they had a little 12 flag on a skydiver in the playoffs a few seasons ago.

Meanwhile, I like that the Seahawks are handling the Chargers so far.

That they did (sue over 12th Man) and while I don't know the exact dollar figures Seattle got away with murder in the deal. A&M could be charging so much more and it would be worth it to Seattle...milking the shit out of it up here.

Hawks Hang Half a Hundred?

thats the worst case of patent trolling i've ever seen since someone was given a patent on podcasting.

The PI calls make you wanna puke.

Year-long shock that your favorite team, which failed to do so for so many years, finally won a SB. The dynasty fantasy talk starts when your team is on the verge again.

The way you describe it, that actually doesn't sound like a big deal. Until someone beats them or the entire roster is stripped I think there is sufficient reason to expect to win again.

I thought you'd be going more the obnoxious fan route. Something along those lines. Or fans starting fights with fans of other teams. I dunno, but the Pats did arguably have a dynasty going there and therefore you can't really blame their fans for believing in it.

PS - I hate Tom Brady.
