Just watched a video a fan took from the seats on opening night, I knew there were boos.. But damn were they loud. It wasn't just Cam either, it was every player. I knew there was saltiness but do you guys think we will de throne the pats of being the 'villains' of the NFL? With the exception that we have done nothing wrong except wipe the floor with everyone. 

Edit: (BTW, Im fine with it as a fan, just wanna hear everyone's thoughts on that.)

I honestly feel as if there is a "This is supposed to be the biggest Super Bowl ever, why are they here and not my favorite team?" component to this. 

A lot of the preseason hubbub with the media prior to the season was "THE NFL'S GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY! WHICH TEAMS WILL MAKE THE GAME OF THE CENTURY? THE STEELERS? THE COWBOYS? THE PATRIOTS? HOW ABOUT SOME OF THOSE NEWCOMERS LIKE SEATTLE?"

 

Weve destroyed any hope of that happening witha roster and a style that doesn't match what's "in" these days and I think a lot of people have been rubbed the wrong way.

 

And I love it.

We don't really have the personalities to be convincing villains.

Try making Thomas Davis, Greg Olsen, Charles Tillman, Michael Oher and Ryan Kalil look evil.

And as mentioned elsewhere, villains don't give footballs to excited, happy children.

In fairness pretty much every non AFCN team has a lot of likable players on it if you look hard enough.

We're pretty in your face with how aggressive we are, along with our players dancing all over the opponent. It's awesome as a fan, but when you're on the outside it really makes others want you to fail. We should embrace it, it isn't going to go away, especially if we win the chip.

I have heard a few people call the Super Bowl the chip but why? what does this mean?

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
