In honor of the Patriots losing on Sunday, I thought I would share what it takes to be a New England Patriots fan.

1. If you feel fine at the beginning of the game, that will surely disappear.

They just have a way of making every fan crumble with aggravation and fear every game.

2. Belichick is your fashion role model.

I mean who doesn't want a half sleeve sweatshirt?

3. If we have an advantage, we can lose it.

Once Garoppolo was down for the count, the Dolphins soon caught up.

4. We may be losing, but we can fight our way back.

No worries, we are a second half kind of team.

5. Tom Brady.

He's coming back next Sunday; he's our guy.

6. If you leave the New England region, don't tell anyone you're a Patriots fan.

Yes, take pride in it! At the same time though, people outside of our click aren't very nice to us. In fact, they hate us almost 99 percent of the time.

7. We're proud of Bill Belichick for becoming a legend.

Come on now! 13 AFC east titles, 10 conference titles, and six Super Bowls (and that's only in 15 years).

8. We're still heated about Deflate Gate.

Come at us, we aren't worried. We are stronger than your hate.

9. We're here for the love of the game.

We aren't just Patriots fans because we live in New England (that may be a reason) but we love the game and nobody does the game justice like the Patriots do. (Let's not count Sunday's game).

10. We're a great family.

Have you been to a tailgate? If you haven't you're obviously not a Patriots fan. Going to Gillette is like going to the White House.

11. We are sore losers.

We will blame everyone under the sun before we even think about admitting that the other team was good.

12. Our vocal chords are always ready.

I mean, all Pats fans scream nonsense at least 20 million times a game. (If not your posting about it on social media).
