[A Defiant Goose]

Recency bias!!

How about:

• Vinatieri's tying kick vs. OAK in 2001
• 41yd bomb to Bethel Johnson vs TEN in 2003
• 46yd FG by Vinatieri to take the lead vs TEN in 2003
• Knocking the ball out of Drew Bennett's hands vs TEN in 2003 to seal the win
• Bruschi ripping the ball away from Dominic Rhoades vs IND in 2004
• The crowd chanting "Cut that meat!" vs IND in 2004.

Great thread, but the 10-year cutoff is somewhat arbitrary. Vinateri's game-tying kick vs. Oakland during the Snow Bowl is probably the most memorable moment in a divisional round series.

Past ten years . We could do a great top ten moments from both the dynasty era team (2001-2007) and the do your job era (2010-now) teams.

All pretty cool but Troy Brown was always my favourite player so No 3 for me., My first signed Patriots Jersey was his.

Vinatieri's game tying kick in the Snow Bowl...as he himself said, a one in 10 shot

Don't forget this.....

Von Miller getting stomped on the sidelines by 5 guys was so funny.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

Thankfully there is so many to choose from. I like'm all!

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I did past 10 years because if I did the BB/TB era I'd have to make a top 10 and I'd be here all day with another 15 HMs hahah

 

[FourierSeries]

I think this was the best moment

You can literally see the salt being emitted from him.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Brady to LaFell to beat Baltimore is my favorite, just ahead of the Bruschi rip-away.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

That 06 Chargers team would've curb stomped Indianapolis too. But who knows, maybe they all get the flu and get a 107 fever in the visitors' locker room in Indy too

YESSSS!!!! then proceeding to yell! They don't got it!

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Snow Bowl kick to tie is IMHO the most memorable....Madden thought it was the greatest kick ever.

 

[Kdo5]

The 2014 matchup against the Ravens is one of the greater games of this era. That game was a roller coaster from start to finish. The mental toughness of that team both in this particular game and SB49 was just remarkable.

 

[Kontradiction]

Brady to LaFell to beat Baltimore is my favorite, just ahead of the Bruschi rip-away.

Very underrated play but that pass was probably one of the best of Brady's career. 30+ yards out, floats it, and drops it in Lafell's hands perfectly split between two defenders with good position. That throw was a thing of absolute beauty.

All pretty cool but Troy Brown was always my favourite player so No 3 for me., My first signed Patriots Jersey was his.

Troy's my favorite player also. He was a one man wrecking crew in three phases of the game.

As for the top plays, the Ravens 2014 game was the easy winner if we're staying within the limit of 10 years.
