The last two weeks (or maybe even beyond that) I tried to avoid the thought of a second straight SB loss and a 5-4 record under BB/Brady.
Logically I know that it’s kind of stupid. 5 wins is 5 wins. 4 losses in SBs are still 4 conference championships. NINE Super Bowl appearances is incredible. But the 5-4 potential ate at the back of my mind more than I’d like to admit. While I don’t care what haters and hot take artists say, that record would just seem to unjust for a team that has dominated so much for this long. As for legacy, there was not much question that 6-3 sounds almost infinitely better than 5-4 for Super Bowl success. The idea that we have the greatest big game coach and clutchest QB of all-time, paired with a 5-4 record in the biggest game?
Now that the game is over I can rest easily, but I admit it probably bothered me more than it should have. You?
