"Since then....nothing".
This is a great article Grid, but the above quote still pisses me off. What they call a 7 year drought, consisted of 7 double digit win seasons, 6 Division titles, 3 AFCCG's, and 2 Superbowl appearances. That's not exactly NOTHING.
There are over a dozen NFL franchises who would love to have just ONE of those seasons that are described as "nothing", let alone 7 straight.
Hey I know all about "its the superbowl or bust". I know how painful a loss in this playoffs would be. HOWEVER, I also know what the Pats have already accomplished this season has been very difficult and hard won. I know that what they've accomplished in the 6 seasons before that was something to be proud of.
Winning isn't easy on ANY Sunday
I know where you're coming from, Brother Ken.
There're been thousands upon thousands of excremental Articles, written by Clowns who mistake their sorry selves for members of the Team and take on a "Anything less than a Championship is Unacceptable" attitude.
A few Observations:
1 ~ It
is "We." ~ The Sport doesn't exist without we Fans, so we are 100% correct in claiming Full Partnership in our Team's Successes and Failures.
2 ~ Having said that: Any Clown who applies the Word "Unacceptable" to these Patriots, who've given us, under
Mad Bill's leadership, unprecedented and previously
unimaginable Glory...is no Fan but rather a
Parasite.
3 ~ This Article was
not written in that pathetic, disgusting, and despicable
Ron Borges/Dan Shaughessy "I've Got A Small Wee Wee So I'm Going To Try To Compensate For That By Posing Like I'm So INCREDIBLY Manly The I Am In Fact The Manly Moral Compass Of All Of New EngLand Sports" Vein.
4 ~ It was written ~ speculatively, of course, but with
astonishing accuracy, I believe ~ from the obsessed, exquisitely fanatical Perspectives of
Coach Bill The Mad (Genius) and
General Tom,
themselves.
