It is interesting how a guy that grew up in a part of the country that is obsessed...almost at an unhealthy rate...with the Bears, Bulls, Cubs, and Blackhawks is a fan of none of them.
Like you're one to talk about about fandom. I should've taken a screenshot of your post on facebook a long while back of you asking for suggestions for a new bandwagon to join since you were going to abandon the Vikings. Did you decide on Green Bay, or are you still in the closet?

As a Cardinals fan, I'll just add that perpetual mediocrity is really quite the compliment for my team.
I'm one of the few & the proud that would brag that I follow the losing-est franchise in the history of professional football.

That had nothing to do with success?
You really want to talk about me being a fucking bandwagon fan?
Gee, I grew up in a state with no professional teams, but my house was 7 miles from the Minnesota boarder. Shocking that I'd be a Twins and Vikings fan and watched the T'wolves extensively growing up. Also shocking that I've never hidden anything about the teams I follow and just waited until they were good to be god damn obnoxious and faggy about it like you

Were his two interceptions also the fault of the defense?
No.
They shouldn't have mattered.
Up 14-0 early and 28-14 in the third. That game shouldn't have been in that position to begin with.
It just makes me laugh because if the exact same situation happens tomorrow in Green Bay the fault will be on Romo for his interceptions, not the defense giving up two 14 point leads. The way the blame falls is different depending on the team/player.

I would blame the Dallas defense.
I'm actually quite consistent in my views.
That second pick Flacco threw was terrible...just bad. I said that to myself as soon as I saw him look left at the snap of that play. Zero reason to try to force that pass there. It was something like 2nd and 5 near mid field with 2 minutes left in the game and only down 4 with a time out.
The first one I don't remember as being horrendous but I honestly don't completely remember it.
Blame goes to both, but blowing 2 14 point leads is unacceptable for a defense

First one he floated it out just ahead of his player toward the side line and the Patriot was able to easily beat the Raven to the ball near the sideline. His fault as well.
Remember that the Pats at home have scored tons of points outside of the first and last games (last game Brady played only part so doesn't count). In the middle 6 home games, they averaged almost 40 points a game and 3 of those 6 were against playoff teams including a top 3 scoring defense this year Detroit (34 points). NE scores a ton of points - You have to outscore them.

Or have a defense step up - especially when you're a franchise that prides itself on defense.
People thought the same thing of EWU in the FCS this year. They faced a good defense and lost.
He, and that offense, gave the defense a ton of points to work with and they shit the bed.
Again, he lead the offense to TWO 14 point leads. That means that when his defense gave up the first one HE FUCKING DID IT AGAIN and the defense gave it up again. Part of that is Brady just being unreal, but a couple of those drives were just the Baltimore defense being dog shit.
Should Flacco have scored more? Sure. I guess maybe Flacco should have scored 80 points today. Hell, Flacco could have put up 80 but the if the defense gave up 81 it would still be his fault, right?

Gotcha, so once you claim to be a fan of a team, it's totally cool to switch allegiances if that team sucks, just as long as your home state has no team.
You've never waited to be an egocentric, pretentious douche, you were clearly born with that. You're the epitome of a bandwagoner.

Damn good game. Exactly what I expected.
He made a move before he hit the ground. Was a catch.
Well I thought he was down by contact (defender made contact and his elbow was down prior to the bobble). And it looked as though he was reaching for the endzone (football move?) when he hit the ground and it came out. Tough call either way, if none of that matters and is not considered maintaining possession through the catch then I suppose the right call was made.
93: He had possession, two feet on the ground, and his "football move" was going for the goal line. Therefore the rule YOU (and the ref) cite does NOT apply. The ground can't cause a fumble. Bryant was down by contact. The overturn was wrong....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

It can't cause a fumble, but it can cause an incomplete pass, which was the call that was made. Neeeext.
