If presenting facts is what you consider bashing I guess I'm guilty as charged. I guess I have high expectations for the team and you dont. What can I say.

Funny how the line between fact and personal opinion gets so blurred around here.

I was born in DC and grew up in RI, I am fan of every NE team expet the Pats because I love the Skins. I could easily jump ship and cheer for the Pats but I enjoy this team and watching it build. Why some fans come on here and just bash the hell out of them is beyond me.

Yes I am mad and fustrated they lost but, there are other things in life that are much worst. If it upsets you so much that you feel you must bash your own team over and over agian go be a Pats fan and enjoy the glory.

Before 2004 when the Sox still had not won I truley loved those teams, they felt like my team or just Boston's team. Now I still love them but it is not the same because so many band wagon people have jumped on board. It feels watered down, if that makes sense.

What I am trying to say are these are good times too fustrating at times but if it all comes together it is worth it.

As you may recall, I grew up in Mass. (22 years to be exact). My great uncle was a Boston Redskins fan, and followed them to DC, and he taught me football, thus I am a Skins fan. I hate the pats for lots of reasons, but a major one is that no one gave two shits about them back in the 70's and 80's. Drew Bledsoe revived that team. That being said, I am uncertain of your point with the Red Sox...I love my Sox regardless of the fair weather fans. Every team that wins will have fans that come out of nowhere...it's disgusting. If the Skins win this year, there will be millions that jump on our wagon too. That's life. Remember when everyone was a 49ers fan? Where are they now? In short, I don't love my Sox any less just cause others "water it down". I am unsure if that is your point, but that is kind of what it sounded like.
Fair weather fans do annoy me a lot, but there is nothing you can do about it. I got crap cause the Celtics won and people called me a fair weather fan out here. I used to go to 2 or 3 games a year before I left, and I've always been a Celtics fan, but people that do not know I am from Boston thought I was jumping on. It sucks...but that's life.

Zorn will improve the team.

after addressing the media.... i feel confident in what he wants to do here.... he wears his emotions on his sleeve and will not beat around the bush and baby these players....... he is here to succeed and i believe that.

Right now it's a 1. Zorn was terrible last night. He should've made more adjustments. Sorry JC isn't Matt Hasselback. He's throwing all these little 4 yards passes and that's just not what he does best. He needs to be back in shotgun maybe on 1st down and throwing deeper passes. JC also seems to run the no huddle pretty well. At least he did last year. Why not have that a part of the regular offense? Last part of the game was just a joke. Zorn might be in over his head.

ill give him a 4 but i think its still way to early
