No, trying to understand someone's sub-par performance is not an excuse OR being a sore loser. It's being a SPORTS fan and not being a mouthy homer.
It's the same thing that happened after the Pats beat the Chargers in the AFC championship game - I recognized that it would have been a different game if LT, Gates and Rivers hadn't been hurt, and that we might not have won - even though I was glad we did. And I didn't taunt the Chargers fans (even though I live in San Diego and had ample opportunity to do so. - that's not the way that SPORTS fans react.

Glad you're entertained. I congratulated the Giants fans here and elsewhere after the Giants won - and I didn't say "we would have won if...." I was just trying to explain the difference between teams (and their fans) that make brag and excuses, and teams that don't. Despite your claims that you can't back up, the Pats were NOT bragging beforehand, and they didn't make excuses afterward. Even if Brady was playing with a broken leg and severe brain damage during the game, you never would have heard about it from the Pats.
If you don't get it - there's no sense in my trying to explain it anymore. I was quietly thrilled and proud of my team after they won their Super Bowls - some people just don't have the class to act that way. <shrug>
I'm done here.
