Hope Clicks Eternal – The Five-Time Super Bowl Losing New England Patriots

I know it’s been a few days, but there’s still plenty of Patriots schadenfreude to absorb.

Let’s just drink it all in, shall we?

Of course, folks thought the League had it in for the Eagles right from the start.

But as the game unfolded it wasn’t to be, although some people were lulled into a false sense of security at halftime,

and some began to question the commitment.

The levels of desperation climbed. First, when they were behind in the fourth quarter:

And just like a broken clock is right twice a day, I discovered the rare introspective Pats fan

 

Then they were ahead, and NOTHING WAS WRONG?!!1?1!

But then,

and then,

and after they were beaten –

Oh, the glory. On Twitter,

and on Facebook

 

 

Of course, people had to go looking for “causes”. Gene Steratore chuckled at calling Gronk for procedure,

which just opened the door to the conspiracy nuts.

and then the other conspiracy nuts.

 

 

Of course, it’s not a good conspiracy unless it’s both about “they’re for them” and “they’re against us”,

or they’ve been brought down FROM WITHIN! BY ONE OF THEIR OWN!!

Unlike most games, because the Patriots lost, the HATERS had to come out & show their glee. Among the ‘best’:

There really is nowhere to go from here.

Ladies & Gentlemen, your Patriots schadenfreude.

This brings an end to “Hope Clicks” for the season. I’ll likely bring it back for the draft, but otherwise do what I plan to do and avoid all NFL social media. It’s a cesspool.

How dare you use an NFL memes image and not cover up their watermark with ours?

We’re better than having to result to their eBaum’s World-like tactics of #content thievery.

Delicious. I can think of only one man who can bring us greater Hope Clicks joy than Nick Foles.

Now this is truly a wonder to read. I wonder why the kid is crying and the dog is hiding in the corner. Might have something to do with the smashed TV and broken phone with 13 missed calls from “the ex.”(Kidnap victim who got over her Stockholm Syndrome.)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any statement with less self-awareness, including ones coming out of the White House these days.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I honestly hope it’s satire.

nomonkeyfun

For the sake of the kid and the dog, yes, I agree, but you know there is someone just like this, the only question is whether they put their shit out for the public to see it.

I like how the Patriots fans are complaining that the refs were in the tank for the Eagles when the Patriots got called for a single penalty the whole game to the Eagles’ six.

Wakezilla

It’s amazing how none of those fans even acknowledged the blatant holding the o-linemen got in order for Brady to go on some of those drives.

I still don’t know how to feel that the Iggles catch for a TD stood. If they reversed the call, I’d stop watching football, which isn’t exactly a bad thing.

So I was having a hard time finishing this morning, so I rewatched the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. You know what finally got me over the edge? The final minute of the broadcast, which consisted of DEAD FUCKING SILENCE from Collinsworth as he ruminated over his beloved Tom Brady losing.

Fuck you, Cris.

Senor Weaselo

What was the final number of times you said that btw? The line was 8.

Brocky

Alright, I don’t know who is watching, but jason kelce is going nuts in his speech here.

And that’s not saying anything about his outift
