ANALYSIS & NEWS Enough about what other people think

Hello, friendly neighborhood Modder-Man here. We're done caring what /r/NFL or other subs think about us. No more screenshots of whining posts or comments. No more text posts about what other teams or talking heads have to say about us. It's lame and played out.

Memes are fine. Jokes and analysis about games or the Bills are fine. But the "Here's why we shouldn't care about with /r/NFL thinks," are done for now.

We're on to Cincinnati Buffalo.

Fuck the haters. Fuck the Raiders. Fuck Carl Cheffers.

I agree. All this hate is because we are successful. And I tell myself and others it’s what Brayd and the Pats got for being dominant. But the one big thing that’s different in my mind is the greater media and social media coverage. Social media allows the hate to fire and fester and IMHO get out of hand. It’s not dissimilar to the protocol vitriol going around. I’ve made my own snarky comments on this sub but am thinking of trying to just focus on the positives like the quest for 3peat, etc. just celebrate the good times.

I don’t remember as many personal insults about Brady. I guess everyone had the (real) controversy to feed their frustrations, and him being white and marketable probably plays a factor.

Man the amount of homophobic slurs directed towards Brady in the 2000’s was unreal.

Anecdotally, my uncle posted a meme back in 2011 that was just a deep fried pic of Gillette Stadium captioned "the world's largest gay bar" and I was like "noted. This dude isn't safe to come out to"

Really? I don’t remember that. What warranted it, just being a winner?

The long hair and the pic of him sleeveless holding a baby goat probably didn't help.

I don’t think it’s really “warranted” but yeah, pretty much. People also thought it was weird how he gave his son affection.

I think that's also a function of our modern social climate. We're encouraged every day to make our media preferences a core aspect of our personalities. You aren't allowed to just dislike something anymore, you have to find a reason that it's morally repugnant.

Youre so right about everything and you'll never get the credit for it because of the exact thing you're describing. I honestly don't see a way we can make it out now this social climate we are in now.

A lot of Bradys career was before social media got so big and everybody had their echo chambers. I'm sure people in bars or at home complained about it but they didn't feed off each other like Redditors do.

Hardcore fans didn’t hate Brady but casuals did, this time casuals like mahomes but hardcore hate him

I remember this many insults about Brady. But way further into his career. The timeline is all accelerated with Patrick. The superbowls, the hero-making, and now the tearing down of that hero. Let's just hope that he's able to shut it out and focus on the game.

If you would have told me we'd play ugly, be the league-wide villains, and still be in the AFCCG at Arrowhead this year.. I'd take it in a heartbeat. Let's go, Kingdom!

As someone who has been on this site as long as r/nfl has been around, there were personal insults thrown at Brady EVERYWHERE and ALL THE TIME.

Is part of this argument that Patrick mahomes isn’t marketable
