So your thankful the greatest NFL dynasty in the history of the league is over because of expectations to win every year?
I do not think the Patriots have ever been dominant. They won a lot of games for a lot of years, but they never blew a team out in the Superbowl and always seemed to have their hands full in the playoffs. I always felt a lot of anxiety at the end of the season.I don't know if I speak for anyone else here, but for me, the extreme dominance of the Brady Patriots took some of the fun away from watching the game.

What made it less fun was that everyone expected the Pats to win the championship. To some extent, a lot of people expected them to top previous campaigns to the point that the season seemed lost once the quest for a perfect season was out of reach.
When you add to that the fact that some of the stars were acting up (starting with Milloy and Seymour), it became easy not to like the players. Add in the 'gates' and the kneeling and all of the other scandals, it got to be very difficult to like the players, the ownership, or the team.
I'm not going to be able to follow this team this year. My sincere hope is that Mr. Kraft hands the reins to Jonathon, Coach retires, and a new team emerges from the ashes.
I can't believe how badly things have gone since Mrs. Kraft passed. I root for the laundry, so I look forward to a likable ownership and team that can compete without cheating.
