Re: Borges:Steelers challenge Patriots for supremacy
It makes me vomit that the 16-0 is not even brought up in this discussion (maybe Borges did, I won't click that shyt). Quite frankly, after seeing the how the last two Super Bowls ended, and seeing how the line between victory and defeat is so thin, and so predicated on luck, timing, refereeing, and other intangible factors, it is plainly clear to me that the 16-0 is a greater achievement than winning a single Super Bowl.
I know we blew it in SB 42, I know the defense handed over the game in a situation in which the game was won - but look, if Arizona doesn't do the exact same thing this year, Pittsburgh doesn't get a ring - would that have made Pittsburgh's season a failure?
16 weeks of sustained excellence, defeating playoff team after playoff team, and doing so in convincing fashion is, to me, the greatest achievement the Patriots have had save for winning back to back Super Bowls.
