Duran strikes out What a surprise

The FLOPS are embarrassing themselves

I think they are intentionally tanking to get the softer #3 WC. They can’t stink this bad-right?
-

3-1 Losing again-to a truly terrible team. The FLOPS just waited a little longer this year to CHOKE
-
Neither is losing their first game to a better team (CHAMPIONSHIP team) on their home turf. They still have 16 games left. I expect that they will again make the playoffs but expecting them to be in the superbowl a second year in a row isn’t reasonable. The Flops on the other hand aren’t competitive for a ring this year and haven’t been for several years. Not a well run franchise. Their owner is cheap and their GM isn’t very good at what he does.
-
Yup. The Patriots lost to the Superbowl champs on their home turf-barely-right after the FLOPS lost to the worst team in the league at Fenway. No shame in losing a tight game to a better team on their home turf, now is there. How about losing the the 100 loss to be Angels, losing two of three games to them. Proud of that feat?

My objection is you making it personal. That has no place here. If you don't like my comments, don't read them-or refute them. I really don't care-and I don't care if my position on certain issues is not popular. I will never start a personal vendetta here, but I do feel free to defend myself in a like manner if others start one. And by the way, my comments here are fair and balanced. If someone does a good job I comment on that too. Some here are bashing Anthony but I am more positive on him than almost anyone here-I think he will be fine. Story, not so much. And Rafaela has lots of room for improvement despite his overall excellent year.
-
And you are a . Are you sure you want to make this personal? I'm up for it if you are.
-
Of course I can! I just did! In order to win a ring you must first make the playoffs. Last place finishes or one and dones with regularity is simply unacceptable for a big market team.
-
Yeah, and the Patriots have won more Superbowls than any other team since 2000. They are in fact tied with the Steelers for most Superbowl wins ever. They make the playoffs more often by percentage and have won more championships by percentage. I haven't checked to see how often the Patriots have finished in last place like the FLOPS did for several years but I doubt it was as often. Lets not lose sight of the fact that the bottom line is this: the Patriots owners spend to win. The FLOPS owners do not, at least not as a percentage of revenue compared to other teams.
-
The FLOPS franchise rightfully deserves criticism when compared with a successful franchise like the Patriots. The NE Patriots have had 66 seasons as a franchise. They have made the playoffs 28 of those seasons (42.4%) and have won 6 championships (9%). The Boston Red FLOPS have had 126 seasons and have made the playoffs 26 times (20.6%) and have won 9 rings (7%). Its easy to see which franchise prioritizes winning over the owner's pocketbook.
-
If I started posting there there would be no reason to criticize that franchise. They are well run and have an owner who prioritizes winning over his wallet-unlike the Flops franchise.
-
You mean before all those last place and non competitive years? You were shown the record of success the Patriots dynasty had. Did the Flops have a similar period of dominance? Yes or no.
-
They made to the Superbowl, now didn’t they. I’d be quite happy if the FLOPS, New Englands albatross franchise, made it to the WS. Wouldn’t you?
-
It’s called “cherry picking”. We all do it. The fact is that the Flops franchise sticks out like a sore thumb among the major New England teams. We deserve better…..
-
You forgot to mention all those years where the Patriots were in the playoffs actually contending for a ring, winning one with some regularity. I can understand that couldn’t go on forever. A few rebuilding years were always in the cards. And again last year? Superbowl. A quality franchise, unlike the FLOPS.
-
For a championship? About the same I think. At least the Pats made it to the Big Dance last year. The Flops? One and done. Likely the same this year.
-
Yeah-they’ll get in. Then one and out. Again. Breslow needs to go
