It is a bit of a black mark, but I don't think it takes them out of contention. Despite the end a 16-0 regular season is an accomplishment that none of those teams achieved.

Of course, in order to "choke" in the big show, you have to first get to the big show.

great post. amazing job with the research.

billdog3484

great point. i saw the same thing. its one thing no other team has. let's win the 4th and argue

BradyFTW!

Because clearly it's better to not make the Super Bowl than to lose in the Super Bowl...

I figure that, if you're not going to win it, making it there is the next best possible result, yeah?

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

Ugh I can only imagine Pitt winning this year and cutting the Pats dynasty "in half" so-to-speak.

Excellent thread. I'm keeping this bookmarked in case the Pats win SB XLIV.

Or Baltimore, they won in the beginning of the decade.....although all their other number for the decade would be questionable.
