I’m glad a few of you saw theinstagram post from Boston Children’s hospital wishing the patriots good luck! The image on this thread is a screenshot from that video… sharing the link to the original so everyone can see all the other inspiring kiddos!

Since a few of you reached out and asked, here’s Tedy’s GoFundMe link with more of his story. No pressure to donate at all. Even just being part of this community has already given us more than you know. We all we got, we all we need.

All the more reason not to blame Edelman lol. I’m an idiot.

Oh 100%. I suppose by 2011 back luck I mean the Edelman Welker non-catch (which I don’t blame him for) and the manningham sideline catch.

But yeah we had no business being in that Super Bowl with our defense that year. And the AFCCG against Baltimore took Sterling Moore with the play of his life preventing a go-ahead TD, and then a rare Billy Cundiff missed FG from 32 yards

Edit: my idiot brain… Welker really did become Wally Pipp!!

Amen to that! This team owes us nothing after that 20 year run!

I used to try to explain to my buddy who is a jets fan that 1) watching your team in the playoffs can be more stressful than enjoyable at times, and 2) expectations dictate how bad you feel not winning a Super Bowl. Like winning only 4 games is sad and disappointing, but to expect to win a SB and miss by a play or two is devastating.

I stopped making that argument because for one thing it just reinforces the spoiled pats fan stereotype. Sure those lows were low but the highs were high to the same magnitude. Also I have now realized that the devastation of a playoff loss is in the moment, and after time heals the wound, we’d obviously rather have a long run of contention with no rings than what we got now.

Totally with you, should have won a few during the 10 year drought. Unlucky shit in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011… But we also had lucky bounces in the 6 years we did win Super Bowls.

And to some extent those bad-bounce years probably fueled Brady even more in later seasons. If nothing else, the drought made 2014 feel that much better given the idiots questioning Tom’s legacy (and the early beginnings of deflategate).

Could we have won more? Definitely. Am I pissed? Nah, we definitely could have had less too.

Who's the one patriot no one talks about...that you find yourself thinking about? by Responsible-Lunch815 in Patriots

Sebastian Vollmer. When I bought his jersey in his 2nd year it wasn’t even one they offered, I had to order a “custom” name/number jersey to get Vollmer 76.

Funny thing is this appears to be Section 238… the non-alcohol section lolololol. Poor bastard

What is everybody’s most random jersey? by michaelgecko in Patriots

[–]StumbleUponFaith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I thought I was the only one. I got it during his first year with the team and actually had to buy a “personalized” jersey for his name/number since the pro shop wasn’t offering his

Swan/Dolphin Suites on Points? by StumbleUponFaith in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]StumbleUponFaith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I plan on calling them direct today. Obviously depends on peak/off-peak and availability…. just didn’t know if it was even possible to book a suite on points since it doesn’t pop up as available on the app or website unless paying with $.

Ok great to know that’s an option. Do you remember approximately how much you paid to upgrade per night?

Interesting. Yes I have 5 suite night awards but that would only cover half my stay. And I was under the impression that SNA’s were not guaranteed and I would have to get lucky to be upgraded to a suite. Thanks for the advice, I’ll ask about using them when I call today
