The Falcons getting beat wasn’t all that surprising. Still, it engendered two types of reaction:
A) It’s the new guy’s fault,
B) The refs are against us.
Of course, being Twitter, there’s always that one crazy person.
Titans fans, however, knew what to expect.

but they still found a way to shift blame onto the officials.
And that’s all well and good, but I know what you’re here for.
You know what you’re here for.
Let’s just enjoy the misery together, shall we?
First, the Steelers.

There were words,
art,
more words,
some conspiracy theories,
and that one dude willing to go WAY too far.
And when you think a fanbase couldn’t be any more vitriolic, along came the Saints, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,
FINAL: An emotional finish in Minnesota.

something their fans had all of 10 seconds to get ready for.
There’s a whole lotta this:
reminders that the Saints accidentally broadcast their victory early,
and just general rage
I dared myself to go onto Marcus Williams’ Twitter feed, and found…
support,
anger,
back-handed passive aggression,
some delightful wrestling memes,
and – for some reason – people suggesting he learn tackling from cats.
But the kid is braver than me, because he eventually returned to social media,
I appreciate my friends, real fans, family, and team for everything they have done for me this season all of the support is highly appreciated!No the season didn’t end as planned but one thing for sure I won’t let one play define the type of MAN or PLAYER that I am or will be!💯

and the “fans”.
I guess that’s the lesson, and why most of us couldn’t handle being the athletes & politicians we criticize.
Madoda namakhosikazi, your NFL Divisional round social media.
The one suggesting getting Haley back to the bar is my favorite.
I couldn’t be the politicians I criticize because I’m not a fucking traitor who deserves the noose.
And another thing! How is it that I’m banned from Twitter but @Chris95895836 is still retweeting Trump tweets?
How did you get banned?
“HI Twitter. My name is blaxabbath and I need Devin Nunes’s address so I can brutally rape his pets. Can you give me the address? K thx bai.”
Oh who knows how those things happen?
Narrator: Twitter knew.
LOL’d at “local hero catches sex predator”
Also, fuck the Patriots
With the Dolphins missing the playoffs, a certain QB has more time on his paws…
Hippo’s real name is Juan!?!
Juan?
Pretty sure that’s a Don_T name.
Hippo took NO, had half his bet when the line went up to 5.5. So mah honky ass was just praying for that kneeldown, yo…

Why do so many people hate Joanie so much? I mean Chachi is a prick, but her?
