Positional groupings

Mike -

if you get a chance can you look at the block on Vrabel from Ricky Williams. Wasn't that clipping???? Not that it would have made a big difference but it looked pretty blatant and if it was a clip how could they miss it?

Poor Ellis....getting paid millions to play a game while all of those "spoiled" fans pay an enormous amount of money to go watch. First off Ellis, fans are booing you and your teammates EFFORT because clearly there was a lack of one on you and your teammates part. Second, when one of those "spoiled" fans pays money to enter the stadium he/she can boo or cheer whenever they see fit. You're just another athlete who thinks because you play professional football that you are above being criticized by people.

Hobbs is absolutely right. The majority of fans that go to Pats games are a bunch of spoiled brats and don't even know how to cheer. It's embarrassing for real fans. Booing the team after it's first loss in 22 regular season games is the ultimate in ignorance.

Or he might have just said, "we deserved it".

he's right. The last 8 years have been great. one loss in the last 22 reg sesaon games. There isnt a fan of another team out there that can say that. Let's get a grip. This team may not win the Super Bowl this year or ever, but they are the team we choose to support. Ask yourself what kind of fan are you? Bandgwagon? I do understand the emotion involved being at the game. I may have booed too, but today I cant help wondering what everyone was thinking.

PHIL is right on here.. The fans weren't booing the team because of what they've done for the past 7 years.. They were booing because of the effort they saw on the field on that day. If a fan sees Randy Moss pull up for a ball he could have stretched out for, should they say "he really had a great 2007, so there is no need for him to try hard today"... This has nothing to do with being a bad fan, but everything to do with being passionate about a team that you want to see give that same passion back every week. Bottom line as Randy himself said, "the dolphins wanted it more then us today" and that lack of passion is what got the Pats booed...

Anyone who thinks this guys is right is no fan!
Ellis, when you become at least a pro-bowl caliber player you can start making comments. Right now, all I see is the player who gets beat by every top receiver you try to cover. You make one decent play and you’re jumping up and down beating your chest like you won the super bowl. You are nothing but a hot dog, its players like you that are starting to bring this team down.
Just shut up and take it like a man, like the classy players we have on this team. The teams that won super bowl here, were classy, do their job, no trash talking, professionals. They now seem to have more and more punks like you showing up there and it is starting to hurt the team.

I have mixed feelings about this. We paid $169 each for tickets to go to this game and watch the defense fold and Cassel throw short crappy passes all day. It was upsetting when you have someone as tall as Moss waiting down the field. Do I think fans should have booed? No but they did have the right to be frustrated. At least at the old foxboro you can go and watch them loose all the time but the seats only costed $25 so it wasn't as painful to watch a complete lack of effort. I just hope this isn't the beginning of the demise of Kraft's enterprise after how much ticket prices went up this year. The good news is maybe they'll be cheaper next year and more available.
