Remembering 2007

[Bella*chick]

I know I sound weak, but 2007 is like remembering your ex after a painful breakup. You always remember/appreciate the blissful moments and how amazing it felt at its peak, but the #1 thing that comes to your mind is the brutal end.

Weak? No way. This is the perfect analogy. This is exactly what it feels like.

2007 was an incredible year and we as Patriots fan should have very fond memories of that team.

We did not win the SB and finish with the 19-0, that's true. Look, the Gaints were, until last year, my most hated team since I was 10 years old and that is a lot of years. I can't tell you how much it hurt me to lose to them and then get a phone call from my brother, a life long Giants fan.

But some of you spoiled fans need to get your head out of your butts and appreciate one of the greatest teams of all time, the 2007 NE Patriots.

One of the worst feelings I've ever had was when Plax caught the game winning TD. Depression for months.

After the AFC Championship, I didn't think there was a chance they would let history get away from them. UGH!!

Brady to Moss in 2007 is something I'll never forget. It also announced the arrival of Brady to Welker. What a team, what a sad end to an amazing season.

Moss' 1 handed grab coming over the middle against Indianapolis is something that's permanently etched into my brain.

That was an amazing catch, it will forever be etched in my mind too. That catch might have saved that game, great season with a bad ending, but a great season to remember nonetheless.

The worst things about not closing the deal:
We lost forever our chance at immortality,
at being able to be truly mentioned with the Packers, Steelers & 49ers,
and we were denied the revenge we so richly deserved against the NY-ophile press
and J-E-S-T fan the Omissioner himself.

Lost our chance? We have the most wins this decade and won 3 superbowls in 4 years. What makes the Pack immortal? The Steelers? 49ers? Why doesn't New England of the 2000's deserve to be mentioned with them? Because we didn't finish a perfect season? Only one team has done that and they did it during a 14 game season.

Steelers have only won two superbowls in the past 30 years. Packers have won two in the past 40 years. 49ers haven't won in nearly 20 years.

Patriots have won 3 in the past 10 years and appeared in a 4 during that span. Winning two superbowls every 30 or 40 years makes you immortal now?

What does New England have to do to be named next to those franchises in your mind? Win the next 15 superbowls to be worthy of mention? New England of the 2000's has done everything in a new era of football with the salary cap that only one other team has come close to duplicating. What have the immortal 49ers, packers, and cowboys done since 1994?

Steelers are the only team that has come close to what New England has maintained for the past 10 years in this new era of football. We set the standard on how to operate with a salary cap and maintain one of the most dominant franchises the NFL has seen since the merger.


edit: fixed redundancy

I dont want that to be a lastingmemory!Win the damn superbowl and it will erase all of that!!!!

It's hard. I think about that game a lot more than I should. 19-0 would of solved world hunger and cured cancer as far as I'm concerned.

Week 17 was epic though. I remember that game fondly. 50 TD's for Tom and 23 for Randy was really something special.

We are right there with the Packers, Steelers and 49ers, and aren't done yet.

BTW, SB and Brady injury. Worst 2 game span ever. Probably 2 SB switch rigth there
