Been watching all kinds of clips on YouTube lately of the early years of the Brady/Belichick Era.
I'm torn between congratulations and punching you in the face.
I watched the 2004 and 2014 America’s Games last night. Phenomenal.
I fully admit that most of -- if not ALL of -- my issues with the Pats are envy based. I can't imagine what it would be like to have such a dominant franchise to root for. It's literally incredible. I would never want it to end, either. I get it.
Hopefully, Sunday's game is another phenomenal one for you.
In the last couple years I've started to recognize how spoiled we are and try to keep that in mind. It really has been amazing, when I first started watching this team they were the laughingstock of the NFL and now they are the greatest franchise in the history of the league.
It's a hell of a story. We'll probably never see anything like it in football again in our lifetimes.

Not so sure about that, give any team a HOF head coach and a HOF QB in his youth and they could do it.durdencommatyler wrote:It's a hell of a story. We'll probably never see anything like it in football again in our lifetimes.

Not counting the 2000 season where Brady was what, 3rd string?, he has essentially been to the Super Bowl in half of the seasons he's been in the NFL. And we aren't talking 2 out of 4 or anything like that. It's insane.

It's not just the Patriots. Back in the 1960s the Steelers and Broncos were two of the worst franchises in pro football history. Now they're two of the best. The Packers were horrific in the 70s and 80s and look where they are now.

Sure, teams can suck and then not suck. But no team has sucked as bad as the Patriots and then went on to dominate against a system that was set for parity and for whatever reason they are the only ones to figure it out - to win consistently with so many different players.
Denver has 3 SB wins, the Packers have 4 and the Steelers have 6. At the moment, the best comparison is the Steelers given that they have more titles than NE and as you stated, they did suck for awhile but have brought back a winning culture.
Watch that 30 for 30 on the Two Bills. It all goes back to Parcells, Belichick and Kraft.
