Patsfantx, This is what we as fin fans are talking about. The fins may not have earned your respect but they have ours, and that of your teams for sure. You and your pats fan buddies come on this and other dolphin boards and talk about the dolphins like you know more about the fins then their own fan do. Thing is I have not seen many post discounting or disrespecting the pats here yet from pats fans that is all you seem to do. Let me remind you that the pats were lucky, I mean L U C K Y to win the first meeting last season and almost as lucky to win the second metting. Yet you discount us because of what not making the playoffs the last 2 seasons, Face it man your pats were damn lucky to win two of the last three times they played the fins. Now we say we have upgraded and your reply is no you havent and 2 many questions, blah blah blah etc. If you want to talk about the greatness of the pats please go some place else. If you want to talk football and try to see both sides of the topic and at least give some respect that is duly justified then by all means talk. What gets me irked is the fact that pats fans in general think that only the pats can draft and only the pats can sign the right free agents. Dude get a grip if I were a pats fan I would not be looking forword to playing the fins 2 times this season, because as you will point out it could blow up in our face but as I will point out it more then likely will blow up in the face off the pats come game time and they have to look across the field at williams, boston, chambers, randy m, rob conrad and a larger, younger, more athletic o-line with a QB that can throw the deep outs and is much better at the deep ball then what we had last season. Will it all work? we will find out when the games start. My question is will dillon work or we he relive his troubles again in N.E. See that is the same question that all pats fans are giving about boston but dillon is a shoo in to work. Right. Typical pats fans B.S. Talking with a pats fan is like talking to a brick wall that has been spray painted, It does not think but keeps repeating what was put on it by the artist. Go somewhere where your opions matter and your fodder will not clog up an otherwise good football forum.
