That's amazing to those of us who remember being the doormat of the league...

I’m more interested in having won the most Super Bowls. That will be the ultimate bragging rights.

We have. Tied w the Squealers

If the Pats win today it will be 2 weeks of how they don't belong in the SB.

Lucky Frauds. I cannot fathom that NE would be favored. Probably 7 point dogs? 31 NFL fanbases will lay money down on the NFC team.

Would also be a record for conference championship road wins.

Pats had 1 playoff win in their first 26 years of existence
They had 4 wins in their first 36 years (3 in one year)
7 wins in their first 41 years of existence and now....
32 wins in the last 25 years (at least one win in 15 of those years)
Us old folks ( I was born when there were 49 stars on the flag) remember and appreciate every...single... playoff... win....

Line now is +3 vs Rams, +3.5 vs Seahawks.
Line for Denver matchups is 5 points higher

If the Pats win today, I'll be a nervous wreck watching the Super Bowl.

Interesting. I always thought Alaska and Hawaii came in together and we went from 48 to 50 but there was a few months in between where the flag had 49.

How to you manage to post so quickly using stone tablets?

Kidding.

Honestly, if they win this, it will probably be the most difficult game of the entire run. Neither the Rams nor Seattle are teams they can't beat. And if we're being 100% truthful, I put this up there with what Manning did in 2006. The Patriots were his toughest opponent, and had it not been for everybody being sick, that game probably would have gone the other way.

Meanwhile, he ended up facing a Bears team that New England would have dominated, yet it was all Peyton could do to win that one (and he was named MVP if I recall).

So I'm excited...because if they pull this one out, I really do like their chances. Neither of those two remaining teams worry me as much as today's does.

That's a narrow window you were born in.

There couldn't be that many of you.

Earliy lines have them as 3.5-4 point underdogs vs the NFC champion. Lines could change depending on injuries and how each team looks in the games today.

Denver? Currently at 9 point underdogs if they win today. Might be the biggest SB mismatch in many many years.

I think it will be a lot less than 7, those teams arent that much better than us

Defensively I agree but Stafford would be the best QB they faced all year. Even at his age bro is just elite.

I will go to my grave with the thought that Steve Grogan was an excellent QB. It’s not just because I played softball with him a few times either. Haha

Please win today.
