Their 4 consecutive super bowl appearances, approaching 20 years ago is still a feat not repeated and even those who beat us in those games have stated going back 4 times to lose is a feat unto itself believing it to be more difficult to do than going back and winning 2. You're vaunted patriots, maybe one of the best foot ball teams of all time.... but the trophy case isn't empty and neither is the hall of fame. the older generation patriots fan base tries to forget those years, but they did exist.
enjoy your tenure at the top, it isn't forever.... ask Manchester United.
