While I’ll be an eternal optimist, I felt like this core group of players hit their wall at the end of the 2018 regular season and won one final one with their heart alone. It wasn’t their #1 Super Bowl in terms of excitement and drama, but the entire postseason is among their very best.

I disagree.The thing that sucks - well other than child arm-breaker Tyreek Hill getting a ticker tape parade - is that even though the Chiefs won everyone still marks their calendar when they play us and will for the foreseeable future.
It'd be nice to not be some other team's Super Bowl 16 times a year...
I disagree.
Teams always got up to play the Dolphins, Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders etc. long after their runs ended - meaning those teams' presence and intimidation and respect remained intact.
But, of course they all kept their real helmets and uniforms.
I honestly don't understand what you're disagreeing with.

This occurred in the context of media stating prior to the game on national television:Yeah, and that should have been the 2010 Celtics, but they got absolutely jobbed by the refs in the 4th Quarter of Game 7.
Not that the Garnett Celtics are comparable to those other teams, but they showed a ton of heart that year and it still pisses me off.
Now you have done it ....What is with you and the old uniforms? Red makes no sense at all. The British wore red. And the logo carries sentimental value but is objectively awful.

Should be stricken from the American flag. And the Red Sox.Red makes no sense at all.

For forever, teams have loved to beat the Patriots. Before this century, it was encouraged through inappropriate denigration of our franchise. They believed that we suck for no reason other than stupidity and ignorance fueled by negative propaganda in the media. Our founding owner's problems had zero relation to how our players played and comported themselves.OK?
The Raiders, Cowboys, and Dolphins were nobody's (save NFCE fans) must-see game this year.
My point being that at some point our team will stop being the omnipresent villain in people's eyes and we won't see over-the-top celebrations for the mere accomplishment of beating us in the regular season _at some point_.
Part of me looks forward to that because I'm tired of everything being high stakes.
That's a cultural trend that's indeed totally annoying but does not appear headed for dissipation anytime soon.we won't see over-the-top celebrations
We can win two or maybe three more, especially if Tom stays.I felt like this core group of players hit their wall at the end of the 2018 regular season and won one final one with their heart alone.
Same hereWhile I’ll be an eternal optimist
The 2018 Patriot team is now also the one who stopped the surging Chiefs who went on to win the next year's championship. If Mahomes wins a few more, that AFC Championship will be known as the one that got away. Or, more accurately, the one that the Patriots stole away with a roster wheelchair racing to the retirement village.2018 season seemed miraculous.
