Would it be another SuperBowl? Would it be winning two more SuperBowls with Brady and BB or would it be a 19-0 season or can we EVER get over it?
I just want another one man. Memories of 2001 and 2003 (2004 was more of the "aw yeah, we're unstoppable" year) will always satisfy me as an optimist, but just one more to close it out. I want the Brady and Belechick to taste victory one more time.
You know what. I've reached the point where I don't even care what 'everyone is saying'. It changes week to week. BB was the greatest coach ever and Brady the greatest QB ever a week ago, and Rex Ryan was a parody of himself.After Sunday's humbling experience, I'd be plenty happy with 1 more. Just get us one more and it will at least temporarily stop all the people saying Brady/BB don't have it anymore, haven't won since spygate, etc... and allow me to actually watch SB42 again because part of me has really wanted to watch that game for a long time. And that would tie Brady with Montana/Bradshaw in rings.

Then division rivals play a game and the Jets come out ahead by a TD for a variety of reasons, and Rex Ryan is psychological genius, Spygate matters again, and you could see in Brady's eyes he wasnt into it.
People are going to create an opinion to fit what happened 10 minutes ago, then change it 10 minutes later.
Whether the Pats win, lose, go all the way, or get knocked means absolutely no more or less because of what 'everyone says' about it.
I used to think that it would be horrible to lose to the low class, loud mouth Jets, and I realized, they are still low class loud mouths. Winning didnt change that, and the fact that they are has no real effect on whether they win or lose, just as the class of the Pats has no effect on winning or losing (class and focus are very different).
Let them talk. Those who don't do a 180 on their opinions understand what they are, and those who do will catch on before long.
I assume by I want another you mean win another SB?Intellectually I agree w/all that. Emotionally, I want another.

I agree 100% but its got nothing to do IMO with what anyone has to say about the team. I want it because it is the ultimate for a fan. The fact that not getting one will create untoward criticism or getting one will create exaggerated praise means nothing to me.
Understand that until very recently, 'the place in history' and the consensus opinion of the greatness of the franchise WAS important to me.
This season brought it to light to me that the opinion of the day is just not a rational, well thought out one.
History will judge the BB-Brady Pats well after they are both retired.
