I know one thing, I haven't seen this much hate for two teams by the general public/country in a long time. Whatever you want to call this game, it's gonna be entertaining that's for sure. I really like the matchups, and hopefully Seattle injuries can make the day a bit easier.
I'm not going to pretend that no Seahawks fans would ever secretly hope for some Pats injuries to make the game easier, but it's pretty classless to come to our message board and outright admit it.
Did you do that on purpose? I'm clearly speaking of Sherman and Thomas, who already have injuries. I know you probably hate Patriots fans right now, but I would never wish injuries on any player. So I'll accept your apology in your zeal to swat another Pats fan, as I'm sure some of us have deserved it lately.
I have no problem with Patriots fans. Outside of one super annoying visitor (HeatEquation, who probably even annoyed other Pats fans), I think the visiting crowd has been decent. A little too eager to come to OUR message board to lecture us about what we're allowed to believe about deflated footballs, but probably nothing any other fan base wouldn't do.
I do have a problem with someone coming to our message board and hoping that some of my favorite players, some of whom played through obvious pain to get the team to this point, are hurt enough that it affects their performance in game that doesn't come along very often. I don't think it's unreasonable for me to be a little pissed off about that. If you have to draw a distinction between "hoping for a new injury" and "hoping an old injury is bad," you're not going to inspire the kind of football discussion you claim you want to have.
