Thread: Welcome to Overreaction Nation

There are 15 weeks left in the 2007 NFL season.

For a bunch of teams, however, it's pointless to keep playing. Their seasons are over. Done almost before they even got started. More cooked than Britney Spears and Larry Craig, combined.

In other words, it's time to focus on the draft, think about free agency and maybe get the youngsters in there for a few series as you play out the string.

I enjoyed reading this article because it's the truth, and 75% of the people on this site are evidence of it, which is why I felt it should be posted.

Thats some funny (but true) crap my friend.
I just spammed that one out to all my peeps. Thanks.
;D

My favorite is all the Packer fans that are screaming super bowl and all the Vikings fans that are calling for TJs head. Soon it will be a 180 and the Packer fans will be saying this is a rebuilding year and the Vikings fans will be saying how they never doubted TJ and he is our savior again.

Here's a companion Quiz:

You've all been in this scenario, SportsNation: your favorite team has won its first two games. You're on top of the world. Everything is going right in your life; flowers smell better, the sun seems brighter, your fantasy team seems less terrible. It's a good feeling. So good, in fact, that you begin to question whether it'll ever end. Will your team win the Super Bowl? Of course. Go undefeated? Hey, someone had to. Hey, didn't they win all their preseason games as well?

Of course, you've been in the opposite camp. Your team has started off 0-2 and can't seem to do anything right. Your star QB? He's a bum. You could probably make better decisions in the pocket than he does, and you haven't played quarterback since Tecmo Bowl. Your genius head coach? Suddenly suffering from a severe head trauma that impairs basic mental functions, such as speaking, cognitive reasoning, and mismanaging time outs. What's the solution? Fire 'em all, of course. Blow it up! Start over! There's no way they're coming back from this.

We'd like you to take a collective step back, SportsNation, and stop to consider your options. We know you love your football, and sometimes you're prone to overreact, but you may have gone too far this time. Take this simple psychological test below to figure out just how much you overreact. Cast your vote now!

Yeah a couple weeks in and you would have thought the some of the fan base was gonna drink some purple kool-aid,sport some purple nikes and go chasing a comet all over again.
seemed like the apocalypse or something.

LMAO!
That is the funniest thing I have read in a long, long time.
My favorite quote:

It's war now. The doomsday crew is soon met by the optimistic crowd, eager to point out that if Seattle hadn't fumbled away a 2-0 start, this board would be all milk, cookies and dreams of a trip to Glendale, Ariz., in early February. "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" writes "FB," mocking those writing off the season over one failed play.

Are sure he was reading the Seahawks forum?
Because that sounds a helluva lot like PP.O... ;D

I kindof feel like I resemble some of that.
;D

The passionate frustration immediately after a loss can sometimes get a man to say crazy things that he doesn't really mean. Like once in awhile my pops would say " I'm never gonna watch another game again. I'M SERIOUS."
I learned to just let him vent instead of arguing with him.
Of course some people really are gloomy guses, but, in all fairness to the loggers quoted in this article, they may have retracted later on.

That's because most NFL fans are idiots.
