I know it's probably too soon in the afterglow but..which SB is now your favorite?

I didn't think anything could ever top SB 36... but I think this is its equal.

This is so important - from the bullsh**t buildup to the improbable circumstances to victory - this neutralizes '07 and makes both Giant losses ok - now, for me at least..

This is legacy defining

It's so close and maybe when it all sinks in this one will move up but for me that 2001 team will be impossible to top from being the first super bowl to the silence of the rams and just how unlikely it all was. That said this is definitely my second favorite. Wow! What a game.

This is the best game and my favorite of all time!!!!!

Has to be the first one. This is a close second though

I would say this one. Just because it's the ultimate post-Deflategate redemption, and it cements Brady as the GOAT. I imagine BB will savor this one the most with what the team has gone through.

Am I allowed to vote for 2004 ? Loved that one. Cemented legendary status no matter what the future held.

Rams. Nobody thought we had a prayer in that one. Plus the overinflated egos of the Rams players... "Tonight a dynasty is born"

Might just be the emotion from tonight, but this win means so much. From the talk about it being the end of an era in the beginning of the season, all of the "Patriots haven't won since Spygate!", then the deflategate BS, all of the talk about tonight being the start of Seattle's dynasty, Tom tying Joe and Terry for superbowl rings....just so many story lines. This one is the sweetest IMO.

The first is still my favorite, since we were such underdogs that I was only hoping the Pats wouldn't be embarrassed. I never thought we'd win. But this is a very close second because this Pats team is very likeable and it's been sdubject to so much unfair abuse by the media. This victory feels like a victory for justice, not just for the Pats. This team and its fans has been vindicated with this victory.

the next one

I need more time to reflect. This one was so important post spy gate. The thing I like about this one is that in my eyes, it justifies the 05, 06, 07, 10, 11, 12, 13 teams that were either not talented enough but still in position, or just caught a bad break.

The 2001 game was special. That was the same as the 1985 bears game. I thought the Pats had no chance but they won. This was a great game that was very enjoyable and I am happy that Brady gets his 4th. I would rank it just a hair below the 2001 but very happy.

Remember that the Rams tried to be the first team to comeback from at least 10 points (14 in their case) to win the Super Bowl. Surprisingly, 14 years later, 10 points was still good enough for the record, and we're the first ones to finally do it in the '14 season.

14 points in each half. A very balanced game. Of his 6 appearances, Brady had the most completions in this game.

In fact, no quarterback in the Super Bowl, on the winning or losing side, has ever had as many completions as Brady did today.

Definitely this one. The first was very sweet but this sealed Brady and Belichick as sports legends. At 37 years old, ten years removed from his last SB win he led the rally down 10 in the fourth quarter. Amazing.

This one. Easily.

Also, we have now had all 4 sports teams win a world championship within a 7 year period for a second time.

I think this one and the 1st one are tied in my book. The one vs the Rams was a shocker, Pats were underdogs by 14. This one I love because I hate the Seahawks (though respect them), hate the Legion of Boom, and hate Sherman (though he is great). This one was just so DAMNED satisfying. Sherman's reaction to Butler's INT was priceless.

This one. Legacy defining and a big FU at the same time. So sweet!
