No matter how hard I try, I just cant hate the Patriots.

[PantherWake]

I hate both but I hate the Pats less. Mainly because Brady and Belichick will be gone soon

[rodeo]

They're America's team.

I try and try and I just cant. I know this is Panther blasphemy and a unwritten rule that you have to hate the Patriots if you are a Panther fan, whats harder to admit is that I might actually respect them. I will be honest, I hate the Seahawks way WAY more. I will admit it, I know its crazy and I dont even know why but I like the smugness and arrogance of Bellicheck and Brady, I like how they carry themselves.

I respect the organization, I like how they have this truely natural and calm confidence to them, I like how greatness is just routine to them. They dont run their mouths, they dont come off as fake, they are the poster child of how a perrenial contender should be. To Brady and Bellicheck, making the playoffs is just a given, every season they approach just like eating breakfast or brushing their teeth, they dont have a fake, QB like Wilson that has to cry and get emotional, they dont have cry baby WRs that call out fans for doubting them, they dont have a CB that has to run his mouth over and over and over again.

They simply just show up, and are great and go home, No fluff, no drama, greatness is just so natural to them. The Seahawks on the other hand are like the hot girl that was obese in High School and she has such low self esteem she has to keep telling people how hot she is and needs that constant reassurance, they have an inferiorty complex.

I know im in the minority in Panther land, but the Patriots just dont rile me up like most other Panther fans. Yes I know we had a devastating loss in the SB to them but live and let live. And for just the SB only, go Patriots!

 

I'm with ya. I don't hate them either because they do their job and make great players from nothing. Plus I like that Steeler fans hate Brady because they don't want him to have a fourth ring like Bradshaw. So with that I say GO BRADY and fug a Steeler fan.

the only team i hated more a few years back was the vick-era falcons.  that's changed though.

 

they're in the mix for a super bowl every year, and it's not because they cheat.  belichick is two steps ahead of everyone else 90% of the time.  he adjusts better than anybody and the system he's put together is as close to perfect as you can get in the NFL.  they're not sentimental and they don't give a fug what anyone thinks because odds are they're still going to be playing while the team you pull for is on the couch.

 

they're what i want the panthers to be and i think we're getting a little sliver of that with dave gettleman doing work

btw what they did during "spygate" wasn't even illegal when we played them in the Super Bowl, for those people who like to pretend that has an asterisk.

[TheNewStandard]

Fig the pats. Dug the colts, screw the hawks and poo on the taints.

[PantherDynasty]

Belicik=coach K

Throw water on them and hope they melt

What a bullshit analogy. By all accounts, K does it the right way and is a generally admirable guy. Neither of those things can be used to describe Belichick.

[PantherFanOne]

I am not crazy about the Patriots but i don't want a back to back Seahawks win and have to listen all year,to how great Russell Wilson and thier defense is,

[Diehardpanther02]

So you agree with cheatin lying and stealing to win? Well your pulling for the wrong franchise. We do poo the right way round chyea.

[Diehardpanther02]

I would rather hear how great russel and the seahawks d is if it means they earned it fair and square. Other than hearing about how great belicheat and shady are and them claiming greatness all the while destroying the integrity of the game. I love this game, this sport, and my team and for a bunch of yankee dick heads to ruin it and gain success at the same time is blasphemy if you ask me.

[Diehardpanther02]

And the sad thing is most of you are right. Belichick could be the greatest coach ever, brady could be the greatest qb ever. But they ruined their own reputation when they tried to ruin the sport with their antics. The one and only way to claim greatness is to claim it in honesty and fairness. You have to cheat to win you dont deserve it. Regardless of how great you really are when it comes to the sport itself. INTEGRITY AMERICA fuggin INTEGRITY, ever heard of it? Rant over

[VerticalThreat]

I have no trouble or problem hating any team not named the Carolina Panthers. I only tolerate the others' existence so that we can build a team to dominate them all for years to come.

i love how every forum has an obligatory "no matter how much i try i just can't hate the Patriots" thread

It's a football franchise, not Nazi Germany you retards. You don't have to hate them. Just don't adopt them as a 2nd team, as another team you root for besides the Panthers
