Win Sunday and the Patriots have the most Superbowls ever. Lose and they have the most Superbowl loses ever.

festy1986 · Feb 7, 2026

Ok so they already have the most Superbowls ever and they also have the most Superbowl loses ever as well but one of these records will be solely ours come Sunday night.

I'd really like for it to not be the latter.

Win or lose, they have by a large margin the most appearances ever.

Football didn't start 60 years ago. They are still behind Cleveland,Green Bay, Giants.

Do you care about NFL championships? Because those don't exist anymore. We're in the Superbowl era.

I didn’t realize Cleveland, Green Bay, and the Giants had all those Super Bowl appearances. Which is the term everyone in this thread has used this point. Not once did anyone say the Pats had the most championships or championship game losses or championship game appearances.

This is beyond first world problems..... I mean we have 5 consecutive decades of appearances, win or lose that is a problem something every other fanbase imo would love to have.

Most appearances (wins or losses) speaks to incredible consistency of excellence.
Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville have NEVER been to a single SB

The superbowl did. Which is what this thead is about.

In other words you can't win for losing...
Or something like that...

You have to get there to lose them. Having the most Super Bowl appearances and eventfully wins cements them as the NFL dynasty franchise.

Some franchises have never won a ring, some haven’t been there or won in decades. These are good times to live in as a fan.

Yeah, a 6-5 SB record and a 12th appearance means winning the AFC Championship 12 times.

Then again, most people focused on the losses are fans of teams that would kill to have an CCG appearance, let alone an Conference title.

NFL Mystique · Feb 7, 2026

Having the most SB losses (6) would be offset by...being tied for the most SB wins. Denver is 3-5 in the SB. Buffalo & Minnesota are 0-4. SF went from 5-0 to 5-3 in over a decade.

Win or lose having the most appearances is an accomplishment

It's the same thing. Just a different name for it.

Are you like 12 years old? Cleveland has more championships than Pats. They are the original Pats.
It's such a ritualistic truth that Belichick had to coach there before he went to Pats. So did Vrabel.

Its not the same thing. The Superbowl was the game to crown who was the better team between both the AFL and NFL championship winners.

The NFL as it is now is not the same NFL as it was then. Essentially in name only.

You might as well give the Bills and Chiefs titles then if that's how you view it.

Lol that's fine. Just teaching some history to young/younger fans that don't know anything but Patriots.
