Is every NFL message board like this?

So I'm bored in between classes because it's a bye week and I decide to go on the Jaguars message board for the first time. Holy sh*t! Do we have the most negative and ignorant fans in the nation or what? Every single post was a fierce argument about how this guy sucks or bench him because he dropped one ball. There were a lot of posts about how Fred Taylor should be released because MJD had a good game and is much better. It's called a running back "tandem" because we have TWO running backs who are each exceptionally talented and bring different styles to the table. Why have one great running back when you can have 2? I have never seen anybody so quick to bash a particular player. I'll admit I can be very negative after a loss but this is after a substantial victory. I know that that board represents a small portion of our fan base but is every message board this negative? Of course I'm generalizing a bit when I say that every post was negative,  I'm sure there are some good ones there, but  the overall impression I got was far too negative.

Does anybody here frequent that site? If so what do you think of it?

Oh well I guess I'll stick to Big Cat Country from now on.

48% Better bring the lube for how much you love your team
48% The team you supposedly root for sucks and still has glaring flaws after a 70-0 win
3% Inactive or disbanded
1% Sane

Judging by what I saw that seems like a pretty accurate assessment although I would say our board is about 30% in the first category and about 66% in the second.
