Thought this was a very good artilce today by Bob Ryan and didnt see it posted elsewhere. With all the doom and gloom by not only the usual suspects in the media but by our own fans it says what some of us were trying to last week before the bengals game... to appreciate and enjoy what the Pats have done and are still in the midst of doing because it really is something special and we are lucky to have had the success as fans and still have the possibility for more.

That was a great article and thanks for pointing it out.

Ryan is right. I for one didn't appreciate what the 80's Celtics did until it was too late. I'm damn sure going to enjoy every minute of what this currents Pats team has been able to accomplish over the past 5 years (and counting). Who knows when we'll see anything like it again.

That is a fantastic article

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

best piece the Gobe has EVER written on this team.

now let me preach to the choir: NE (and football fans in general) will regret taking these guys for granted (...we're very probably only halfway through the greatest sustained run in NFL history).

it is pretty amazing the run we have had and in 15 years where it will be placed among both new england sports history and NFL history. The best part about it is as much as people want to and have tried to say it is done, I really dont see it happening as long as we are stocked in teh draft, have BB and SP.
I think those two running our front office is really the limit as to how long we can be a true competitor in this current run.

It was Bob Ryan, not the Globe, which also employs that toad Borges, who wrote this. Maybe you should send him an appreciative email. He usually replies.

You beat me to it. This was an excellent article and I was surprised someone hadn't posted it earlier. Probably wasn't negative so no one cared.

There are several good points in the article but the two the Pats fans need to remember follow:

"every once in a while people need reminding that the coach still knows what he's doing"

"For you and me, the time to reflect has already begun. Be grateful every day that you've had, and still have, the New England Patriots in your life."

As a 40+ year Patriot fan this is the best of times and I wish more Patriot fans were able to enjoy it without the anguish and displeasure we see posted here so often.

i remember umpteen years where the home team didn't have a chance, before the season even started, of making the playoffs.
i remember opening a season wiith tommy hodson as the starting QB. i remember games where scott secules was the starter. tommy owen. the starting RB was horace ivory. vagas ferguson. reggie dupard. one sunday bob gladieux, sitting in the stands with about 3 beers in him, was called on the LOUDSPEAKERS to be the starting RB.
so shut yer mouths, you fans who have, like, 15 or 20 years in with our boys.
every playoff year is like a dream for some of us.

I just emailed him as well... his email address is at the bottom of the article.
