Why is it that having a banner from 2007 and you only remember "the fall" and not the 18 awesome wins?
You don't have to answer the question....but think about what that says about you, not what it says about the Patriots.

There's been alot to be proud of over the years. Not any of those were commemorated with a banner or rings. Especially not those that ended with one of the biggest heartbreaks of my life.
No one is saying anyone shouldn't be proud of 18-0. But I like my banners to be for championships, not for an awesome run and then falling short. Every time I'll see that banner, which will be every home game soon enough, I'll be reminded of that fall.
I see your point PJ. It's a good one. It's tough. It feels like they are damned if they do or damned if they don't. They are cheesy for recognizing it, and sore losers for not recognizing it.

Read my post and tell me where I wrote that I will only remember the fall. You won't, because it's not there.
And then think about what that says about you and your reading comprehension skills and preconceived notions.
I will think about the amazing season, too, when I see that banner. But that being said, I do not like being reminded of what happened in Arizona, and that banner will be a big reminder for me.

Actually, if they do do this, which I guess they will, I like the other posters' ideas of either a smaller banner somewhere away from the SB banners or having it in the Pats HOF. It is something that should be recognized, the question is just how. And I personally don't like how they're doing it.

The rings just seems weird to me.
Ditto.
Also, I have a feeling that most guys on the team will never actually wear that ring...

It's like having the most amazing road trip, then crashing into a tree at the very end.
Despite how fantastic the ride was, the crash is what you'll always remember the most.
For some people at least...
The reason that I choose not to remember that crash is because I'll want to strangle John Tomase. I will always have the opinion that his hack report had an affect on the team. I have no proof it, but I know that these players are HUMAN. They fought that stuff for 18 games, put it behind them and in the final game of the season, that scumbag puts out that...Ah, hell, I don't want to think about it anymore. All I Know is that THE BOSTON HERALD and their HACK REPORTERS AND EDITORS RUINED THE SUPER BOWL FOR ME. I'm willing to bet that they ruined the Super Bowl for the team too...and the Giants completed the job.

Yeah I would agree on that too. Although I am looking forward to this upcoming season and tonights preseason game, ESPN and the Herald really took a toll on the players, as you mentioned, because they are humans. It was just amazing how it all went down.
