Re: Hypothetical: Would you trade the first 3 SBs for the last 2?
I wouldn't trade 2001 for anything. After suffering with a stolen SB by the Raiders in 1976, it was the sweetest revenge of all to have our dynasty jump started by a controversial win over the Oakland Raiders 25 years later.
Btw, I personally put a 25 year curse on the Raiders after that win, and if you ask me it's holding up pretty well so far.

I don't think you can go wrong either way honestly. Add in the 2012 Super Bowl and you REALLY can't go wrong.
Your record doesn't mean diddly squat if you win the Superbowl. I'm sure the Giants are crying into their silverware and rings.

I voted yes to the original question but somehow when its one for one I can't pull the trigger. I guess I was wrong in voting yes. I mean I would trade anything for 07 to end right but individually those 3 wins have to many memories to actually give them up.
Let's worry about the next one!

Its a fun question as we all pine for the season to begin.
I think it comes down to trading that special 2001 season and all that came with it for a 19-0 team.
I can't do it........to remove 2001 and all those sweet memories would maybe be something like not marrying the mother of your children?
Re: Hypothetical: Would you trade the first 3 SBs for the last 2?
I was at SB36 in New Orleans, and I would in no way give up those memories. 100% no. That was a fabulous trip to the mountain top, a pre-Red Sox WS win that will forever be my favorite championship.
As Vinatieri lined up the winning kick, I remember distinctly looking down at Adam, thinking he might as well have been kicking from Mississippi, and saying there was no way, NO WAY he could do it. All that Red Sox disappointment had trained me to expect the worst. In one cathartic moment, it was washed away forever. Two 70-somethings in front of us cried. We partied till dawn on Bourbon street.
No way, no how...no matter how nice 19-0 would be.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.
