Fascinating read, it left me feeling a bit empty there at the end.
It says something like there as so much more that could have been, but alas, they were still great.
I don't know. I really think so much of "what could have been" has been getting to this fanbase and it's the reason we seem like we're starving. I wouldn't say we have it tough, but the last the 4 year we've seen a cruel fate for our Pats. AFC title game, SB, Brady going down, this team underachieving, etc. There's a reason the frustration level with the Patriots is rising, and why even one more SB win would be huge.
