Brady and Belichick have no real rival

The Patriots have no real arch rival in the Brady era it seems to me. They have had several mini-rivalries where we mostly came out on top.. (Steelers early, Peyton was terrorfying for like 3 years in the middle, Ravens for a couple years, etc) Yes, the Giants beat us twice in the Super Bowl, but it is not like the way the Lakers were to to the Celtics throughout the Larry Bird years... The Patriots really have owned the entire NFL, and even their "down years", lost Super Bowls, etc seem all fluky in hind site... AFCCG 9 times. It really is impressive as hell.

It is also cool to have Brady transcend multiple rivalries through longevity. I actually am rooting for unusual longevity in his case to add to the greatness. He won his first AFCCG against Kordell Stewart's Steelers. He will probably outlast Big Ben's career though he started earlier. (hopefully)

For years Colts fans had to hate him and the Pats beating Manning... now they have to hate BRADY yet still and the Pats beating Luck.. It's the best!

..Maybe history is their only real rival..

There's this one team that has beat us in the Super Bowl twice.

Coughlin and Eli are the only real rivals. Always play us close

Now that could be because we rarely ever play and have only played them a few times, so if we played them more maybe it'd be like the other teams we beat more often.
