.....where the dynasty all started!!!!

yeah!!!!!

 

[Trot]

And now......choosing to be introduced as a team...the american football conference champion......New England Patriots...

That just never gets old.

Crazy how we used to play the CB right up at the WR - must be the rule changes that have changed that for us.

When they came out of that tunnel was when I knew they were going to win. One of my all time favorite productions - The Silence of the Rams...

They just looked so stunned almost from the outset, like they were expecting something entirely different.

And poor Madden - everything he said we'd do, Tom did just the opposite.

4th offensive play and they're talking about Brady's ankle

I kinda wish we were the underdog again....but I have no problem with the way the team is now....

helps to have ty law who is now a fatty cakes and otis.

but yeah must have been the rule "point of emphasis"

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

man Law was good....

Law is one thing, O T I S was big and physical but not all that skilled or fast at that point. I'm not sure he'd be playing like that with today's rules.

how big was OTIS?

I always loved BB line to Pioli after the game "Can you believe we won with this team?"

Listed at 5'11", 190 - not all that big I guess but bigger than we've got and he played big.

That was my reaction watching the lineups scroll by at the start

It's kind of strange watching than years offense, I've gotten use to this years crisp moving one. This feels like Bronze Ages. The defense was better though.

Honestly, I don't think the defense was about the same. We gave up the same number of points (2 more this year) and from a quick look at scoring stats, scoring is about the same now as it was then.

I think this game was the last time I prayed.

 

[NEPat]

It makes me want to cry watching this game, remembering the "IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD!" moment. The joy, the disbelief...just incredible.

I know it's easy to get caught up in everything, to be anxious for the upcoming game, to take all this success for granted, but I hope everyone takes the time to appreciate what this franchise has done the past several years. It really hits you watching these past games.

TY LAW TD!!!

 

[PatsSox363804]

"7-3, that's the first time they've led" oh really, Pat??

I love watching this game but man we got lucky that flag wasn't thrown on the hit on Faulk out of bounds.

Wish we had Law on the other side from Samuel. What a solid tandem that would be.

No kidding. I wonder how much more money he ended up getting than we offered. It's hard to believe we haven't been in a SB since he left, it seems like forever ago when he was here now.

1. man Vrabel got away with a blow to Warners head on the Law TD
2. I can't believe the Rams didnt go on 4th and 1 from midfield, with tht offense. man what a mistake
