Patriot Helmet Stickers

When I started this thread I wasn't bashing anyone. I saw 21's everywhere yesterday and when i saw 91's I was confused. I had no idea the pats had lost a player in the off season.

Everyone needs to chill out. People are just finding another way to bitch and moan about The Pats. I didn't have a problem with it.


it,s all good all pat fans should enjoy their year cause they derserve it.

problem with them winning ,nope not me they do it better than anybody else thats why they are 13-0 now and looking more like 16-0.

yes they are that damn good and it shows..

I don't like the Pats, I don't like Tom Brady, I don't like Bill Belicheck, and all that was the case prior to this season. Don't jump on me, I can have opinions if I want. It's not because they win, it's because of their attitudes. I love winners like Manning and Dungy (who doesn't?). I also didn't really like that some teams didn't have the #21 stickers on their helmets this week (and it wasn't just the Pats).

Now, having said all that, of all the teams not to wear it (it's just a sticker after all, what does it affect you if you just leave it on?) the Pats make sense. I can see why they would feel like they should keep the sticker only of their own teammate since no one else was (of course the Broncos kept the #21 along with the sticker honoring their two deceased teammates). I do think, however, that it is a symptom of their 'us against the world' attitude that makes them so standoffish and, ironically, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. In any case, I actually find some of the comments made in this thread much more disturbing and crass than the fact that the Pats (and some others) didn't continue wearing the #21 sticker. If you want to excoriate someone for not having class then show some yourself.

Wow what a sad thread. People are saying that the PAts have no Class then say the death of one of their Players does not equal the death of one of ours. To me that is as classless as it gets.

Agreed. And I hope my post at the start of all this wasn't interpreted as such. Because it wasn't meant in that way.

Why don't you guys just close this? There's really nowhere for this to go but down?

Well I was very surprised by your post and took it that way. Just go back and read it then maybe edit it out.

Done. Thanks

I certainly understand that the Pats want to honor their fallen teammate. I also think that it is unfortunate that teams haven't honored Hill the way they've honored Taylor. But, I do think the sticker is significant (yes I said that) just as the Pats Hill sticker is significant. And, as I said in my first post in this thread, I don't mean to make a bigger deal of it than it really is. I didn't blast the Giants for not wearing the stickers.

But, given the Pats history, I do take issue with them. I'm sorry if others diagree with me, but I think this is yet another example of how the Pats operate.

Well, step away from the #21 sticker issue for a moment and visualize this: Some of the Dirty Birds (Falcons) were sporting #7 stickers on their helmets tonight at the Aint's game. Now THAT'S pathetic!
