The crazy part? There's still the 2008/2009 season to go.
Re: Per Reiss - Pats can set record for playoff wins in a decade...
Someone might argue that teams back then only had two playoff rounds before the Super Bowl, but that should ring a little bit hollow since the Patriots have only played in the opening round twice. So, only 2 of those 14 wins came in the wildcard round.
Then again, I believe they started the wildcard round in 1978 if I'm not mistaken.
Yet another argument would be that only 4 teams made the playoffs prior to 1978, then it changed to 5 teams, and at some point it was changed to 6 teams.
But here again, the Patriots would have qualified for the playoffs because they have always finished in the top 4 when they've gone to the playoffs this decade.

Not sure about ten year stretch but they won 113 in the 90's and 104 in the 80's. NE has won 90 regular season games this decade.
Edit: 87-97 the 49ers won a *****load - 134 regular season games.

This reminds of Derek Jeter leading all those postseason categories which is not that impressive since he has had 1-2 more rounds every year to do it than Ruth, Gehrig etc had.
