The Patriots' National Vengeance Tour
This season the Patriots appear to be righting a lot of wrongs, exacting vengeance on the teams that have knocked them out of the playoffs ever since the 2004 Super Bowl.
2004 - won the Super Bowl
2005 - lost to the Broncos in the divisional round (2011 - Pats bury the Broncos in the divisional round)
2006 - lost to the Colts in the AFCCG (2011 - beat Indy in the regular season, now play in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl)
2007 - lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl (2011 - now play the Giants again in the SB rematch)
2009 - lost to the Ravens in the wild card round (2011 - beat the Ravens in the AFCCG)
2010 - lost to the Jets in the divisional round (2011 - beat the Jets twice in the regular season, helping keep NY out of the playoffs)
If the Pats win the Super Bowl in two weeks, they will have dealt with every one of the foes that have knocked them out since their last SB title. They've taken care of the Broncos, Ravens, and Jets. How sweet would it be to take care of the Giants and celebrate in the House that Peyton built?
