Bills!Win! Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Reasons why I hate New England *Obviously, it begins at the top and flows to the bottom. 1. OWNERSHIP---All people do is talk about how great this "Bob Kraft" fellow is. Sure, he may have won three Super Bowls, but is he the greatest owner ev...er? Probably not. I agree though that the first Super Bowl that New England won they deserved to win it; it was nothing but a team effort. I was somewhat rooting for them because they were an underdog and it made for a nice Cinderella Story in the NFL. 2. MANAGEMENT---After their convincingly epic victory in their first Super Bowl win(2001), their GM added to their team even more, by simply luring in free agents (sometimes via illegal means). Some of these players being acquired were no name players who couldn't make it in other places in the NFL, some were aging veterans who couldn't win the big game, others were highly touted draft picks, and the rest were sought after free-agents. You probably ask, "Why is this so bad?" I speak as a frustrated Bills/NFL fan in this respect. The only reason the Patriots won the other 2 Super Bowls was because their management was willing to go all-out and pay for these top players, while most other teams did nothing, like my Buffalo Bills. Yes, the "bitter" aspect at this point comes in, but that's alright. 3. BILL BELICHICK---Seriously, this guy is the most boring person I've ever seen. I have to admit, it is kind of cool when he wears those freaky looking Sith Lord hoodies on the side lines. But when I hear this guy talk in press conferences, it bores me to death. The week before the Bills games he always praises them and lets everyone know how the games against Buffalo are always tough. Let's also remember that Sunday Night game when New England put up 56 points and embarrassed Buffalo. It was Belichick's decision to run up the score leading 42-10 in the fourth quarter, and this wasn't the first time he'd done it. One more thing to remember. Does spygate ring a bell? Whether you think it was serious or not, cheating is cheating. 4. ASSISTANT COACHES---Charlie Weiss, Romeo Crennel, Josh McDaniels... The list goes on and on. These guys are like the Sith Lord's evil apprentices. Weiss went on to Notre Dame and everyone hated him, CreNnel ran the over-aggressive cheap-shot defenses, and Josh McDaniels had his own part in Spy Gate#2. I've always had a dislike for these guys. 5. TOM BRADY---The guy is clearly over the hill. Even Edwards, the worst quarterback in the history of the world, could complete the passes he completes if I had all the time he has to throw. I don't know how many times I've seen a game where he didn't get hit once, or had at least 6-7 seconds to throw almost every time. Seriously, put this guy behind the bills offensive line and he's no better than Fitzpatrick. Don't forget he's morally a bad person, freaking ugly, and always complains at the refs. He's the NFL's poster-child, everything has to go his way, and you know the NFL and officials are on his side. I'm sick of hearing how this guy is the NFL's MVP. Remember, the Patriots went 11-5 with Matt Cassel. (That year was awesome) 6. PRIME TIME---That's right, the NFL shoves the Patriots in our face, forcing them down our throat. They've said that the patriots are the up and coming "America's Team." Not to mention, more people hate the patriots than love them, so please stop showing them on Sunday/Monday nights all of the time. Someone needs to send a message to the NFL - nobody cares about them anymore, we want to see other teams play. This is almost as bad as Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in the NHL, yeah we understand they're good, but there's other teams that people want to see. 7. GOING 16-0---Ok, so what? Let's just remember which team won the super bowl that year. You don't win championships when you lose your last game. Not to mention the fact that the Patriots pretty much got every single free agent that year. 8. DIRTY PLAYERS--- This team has definitely been the dirtiest team in the last decade. Asante Samuel, Vince Wilfork, Rodney Harrison... You might say they're aggressive, but they're more like heartless, spineless, cheap shots. Search any one of these guys on you tube and you'll find numerous videos of these guys injuring other players, and doing things that should attract penalties which are often over-looked. The only player I could root for on those teams was Teddy Bruschi, even though they thought he was literally God himself. 9. PATRIOTS FANS---All of their fans think they're better than everyone just because they've won 3 super bowls this last decade. Most of those fans became fans after one of 3 Superbowl victories, if you think I'm wrong, you're probably just blind and/or ignorant. It bothers me that most of these fans are from the younger generation. I knew how it felt to be a younger kid and adopt a team that was winning and felt good rooting for them. If you confront these people today now that they're older, their excuse is, "Well I rooted for them when they only won one Superbowl, or, I rooted for them before they were good! Yeah, well that's what people said in the 90's about the Cowboys, the 49ers in the 80's, and the Steelers in the 70's. I have one word for you... BANDWAGON! Just admit it, please! 10. Division... Apparently you forgot that they are in Buffalo's division. This means New England gets 2 automatic wins a year (don't forget they play Miami twice) and the jets haven't always been good. Any true NFL fan will despise his team's rivals. I stopped hating the Colts once they moved out of the AFC East If only the Bills could be this way...
Boatdrinks Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 It's a good list, particularly about their fans. But you left out the real reason: They ALWAYS beat us. I don't think I'd hate the Pats for any reason but being in the AFC east, if we always beat them. I did not despise them this much in the 90's because we usually beat them. Win, and all that crap becomes secondary.
Rumblinstumblin Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 The New England area is full of fair-weather fans!
UlyssesNorris Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 We hate the patriots because they are everything the bills are not.
Talley56 Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Brady has always benefited from a great line. I'm not saying Roethlisberger is better but if Brady had his line, the Bears' line, or heck ours he would not have had the career he had. I'm not saying he wasn't great, but he owes a lot of his success to them.
The_Philster Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 The officials are always doing their best to help them against us..even on days like today in which we played poorly enough that the Pats* could beat us fair and square, they still got help from the officials
stevestojan Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 We hate the patriots because they are everything the bills are not. this.
Bills!Win! Posted December 27, 2010 Author Posted December 27, 2010 I don't know how many times there should've been a pass interference or an illegal contact or holding penalty on the defense, but none of them were called, except one in the endzone.
Pneumonic Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Brady has always benefited from a great line. I'm not saying Roethlisberger is better but if Brady had his line, the Bears' line, or heck ours he would not have had the career he had. I'm not saying he wasn't great, but he owes a lot of his success to them. Not sure where this fallacy comes from? In all of the Pats SB seasons the one constant on the OL has been Matt Light @ LT. But ask any Pats fan and they'll tell you he's been anything but great. Steady is a much better description. Dan Koppen has also been a consistent starter except SB 36. So, the two best Pats OL's in their dynasty years were Light and Koppen, not exactly upper echelon players. Beyond these two, you are looking at JAG's for OL .... Names such as Tom Ashworth, Greg Randall, Nick Kaczur, Bradon Gorin, Russ Hochstein, Joe Andruzzi, and Mike Compton.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 They Hold better than any other team ever and the refs look the other way. All of the ref issues start from the owner he has it in with most crews.
skibum Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Straight up jealousy. The Pats are awesome. A model franchise from top to bottom; it's no wonder the refs love them so much. What else can you say, except that their Mass hole fans don't deserve a team that great. As much as they shame my beloved Bills every year, I still can't justify hating them.

CodeMonkey Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 We hate the patriots because they are everything the bills are not. Succinct, to the point, and 100% correct. They Hold better than any other team ever and the refs look the other way. All of the ref issues start from the owner he has it in with most crews. Whew. Thank you. I was beginning to think I wouldn't see a "the refs are biased" comment after yesterdays loss.
Cadidliac Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Brady has always benefited from a great line. I'm not saying Roethlisberger is better but if Brady had his line, the Bears' line, or heck ours he would not have had the career he had. I'm not saying he wasn't great, but he owes a lot of his success to them. Amen to that. Brady has all the time in the world. He does owe a lot of his success to his O-Lines. They are talented and well coached/prepared. For the most part they have had the luxury of plugging in an O-lineman here and there and they don't miss a beat. Succinct, to the point, and 100% correct. Whew. Thank you. I was beginning to think I wouldn't see a "the refs are biased" comment after yesterdays loss. Succinct basically means to the point and 100% correct. That comment was not succinctly put. lol Just busting balls. Although you used the word correctly......never mind. Irony at it's best.
Blaise321 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 We hate the patriots because they are everything the bills are not. No matter how you try to spin it, THIS is the truth.
DreReed83 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 The only reason I hate the Patriots is because we always lose to them. As for organization and coaching, they do all the right things and make smart decisions in the offseason. Who trades a 2nd rounder for Wes Welker and picks up Danny Woodhead and make them into stars???
Bills99999 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I can't "hate" any team I used to be a Cowboy and Dolphin hater, but I was young and stupid It really hurt when my cousin played for the Cowboys for a couple years
gmac17 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I was ok with the pats winning through their first super bowl, the season after but then when they got good again their fans entirely forgot that 10 years earlier they had 15,000 season ticket holders and nobody cared. And they became insufferable - most pats fans would prefer to laugh at your team for losing than celebrate their team for winning - a very odd dynamic. That said, they are really f'ing good and they don't get any better than brady and his evil coach. Brady's first few season was mostly dink and dunk, but he is awesome now - no getting around it. They take crappy players nobody else cares about and turn them into stars - then they leave and do nothing. (see branch, deion)
Heitz Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Yes, Tom Brady is over the hill - he just broke the NFL record for passes without a pick. He's thrown 34 TDs and 4 picks this year. As much as I love Fitz and his Magic Beard, I think I'd take my chances with the "over the hiill" Brady...
Dennis in NC Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 And one more thing to dislike. They always seem to come up with extra draft picks, since they know when to unload veteran stars, and then usually parlay a pick into a next year pick. Just too damn smart in their draft/front office...
