Absolutely pathetic.

Preaching to the choir here. Again, that's why I don't go to home games anymore - many of the fans under 40 are oblivious at best, obnoxious to visiting fans at worst.

If I go to any Pats games anymore, it's in a corporate suite at Gillette, or more likely a road game to a nice climate, surrounded by rival fans I can have a good time with.

Definitely will have to attend the next Pats - Jags game in Jacksonville. I found them to be a classy bunch and a lot of fun to tailgate with at both playoff games in Foxboro (97 / 07?). I met the one 'Superfan' ever elected (?) to the NFL HOF, a jags fan with a nickname I can't recall.

In 2007, I hosted 30 to 40 Jag fans who made the trip to Foxboro. One of my favorite tailgate memories.

It's been rough for so long with us, if you can't laugh you'll cry.

But i love the Jags fans, people on places like here or Jags fans i've spoken to are usually great guys, always fun and we like a laugh. It's a Duval thing, like it or there's the exit.

I have a lot of respect for the Pats. What they have achieved over a 17 year span in the modern day NFL with the focus on a level playing field is astonishing. Brady is the best QB i've ever seen and Belichick continues to look light years ahead of his rivals. I would love to experience the Jags having 7 straight AFC Championship games, but this season as a Jags fan, i will treasure it forever. It's been this amazing rollercoaster that just keeps going. 

I have no doubt the challenge we face on Sunday, on the road to New England in January, that's as tough as they come, but we have a tough, bonded team that has nothing to lose. If you look at the media, they've almost fallen back into the pre season, 'no one can beat the Pats, they'll go undefeated', as how can Bortles, Keenum or Foles beat Brady and Belichck? If we lose, then it will be what everyone expected and haven't the Jags had a good season but the pressure will be on New England. 

We are 60 minutes away from the Superbowl, the Jags are going to give the Pats EVERYTHING.
