There are some Patriots fans who are currently dealing with that irrelevancy for the first time in their life.
Older, more experienced fans, are still out of practice.
They don’t know how to act when nobody gives a shit about them.

They don’t understand how to operate when nobody even considers the Patriots to be a threat.
At first I figured this was some sort of a bit.
One of those jokes like"AJ Brown to the Patriots for Kendrick Bourne.

Who says no?".
When the punchline of the joke is that quite literally everyone besides the Patriots would say no.
Because he played for their new head coach before?
Because he was reading a book on the sideline?
This is how you know that Patriots fans are so disgustingly attached from reality.
This is how you know New England would have no idea how to handle a guy like AJ Brown.
AJ Brown is not disgruntled.
For starters, he’s a fucking champion and there’s nothing to be disgruntled over about that.
AJ Brown a competitor.
It just shows how much he cares about being great while playing for a city that he calls home.
All AJ Brown cares about is winning, and being great.
Two things that he can undoubtedly continue to do while playing for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Nobody gives a shit about the Patriots, and nobody wants to play there.
