I respectfully disagree. If the Pats go 19-0 it will be the greatest championship in New England sports. 04 was great but winning 4 games in a row in baseball is not as great as going 19-0. When getting to the playoffs in the NFL is like winning 3 seventh games in a row.
Beating the Cardinals in the WS was anti climatic after beating the Yanks.
Pats will be the greatest team in NFL history if they win....If they they lose they WILL be the Red Sox.
Saying that the 2004 Sox team was just "winning 4 games in a row" is being completely ignorant to the situation. For any serious Boston sports fan, that week in October of 2004 went from being one of the worst of their lives to the best in the blink of an eye.

Honestley, i respect understand those opinions completley.The point isn't that they made an amazing (and unprecedented in the history of baseball) comeback against the Yankees. The point is that they finally won after 86 years, having come incredibly close on a few occasions and having many great teams in that span.
Of course 19-0 is amazing, but it won't be as emotionally gratifying as the Sox in 2004 because we've almost gotten used to Super Bowl victories.
Fine, but they had lost three games in a row before.Pats can't afford one loss.
As far as being the "worst week in their lives" can't be very old in Red Sox years.It would have just been buisness as usual if the Red Sox lost a game 4-7.The surprise came when they did come back without their usual spitting of the bit.Instead, the 2nd best team money could buy beat the first best team money could buy.Or as you like to put it a hundred plus win team came back to beat another 100 plus win team.
I was a Red Sox fan before the term pink hat was invented.
The Pats have to operate in a system where everyone has to start with the same amount of money and to go undfeated in a league system that is contrarian to that is a very underrated concept that people don't understand.

The 2001 championship was unbelievable. Truly.
That said, I agree completely about 2004. 86 years of frustration, gone.
