Have you had less confidence in a Pats team in the last 5 years?

[Patters]

Yeah, 2001. Once we were starting to be in contention, I kept waiting for the Pats bubble to burst, and only after the Pats won the Superbowl was I convinced they weren't in a bubble, they really were the best. I'm not expecting much from this team, but if there's one thing BB and TB have proven time and again, the Pats are never far from the edge of greatness, one way or the other.

Yeah, right. That's the blindness and memory loss of hindsight.

Back to week 15 of the 2001 season, you likely had little hope the Pats would go anywhere. You guys like to whine about our WRs today, but you forget our 1-2-3-4-5 in 2001 were Troy Brown, David Patten, Rod Coleman, who? and who, and our TE's were Rod Rutledge and Jermaine Wiggins. You prefer that to what we have today? Pokey Smith and JR Redmond?

We are already guaranteed a better record this year than 2002. Before you complain about Mike Wright filling in for WIlfork, remember Steve martin.

Go back to Week One of 2003. We had guys predicting 0-16.

By 2004 we were all so spoiled that we cry about any loss.

This years team is one of the top ten teams ever fielded in Patriots history.

So is this one, probably. LOL

I root for a team that has been competitive for years, won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years, and is filled with guys that are actually a pleasure to root for.

"Filled with guys that are a pleasure to root for".
:rocker: :ditto: :rocker: See the Bengals (for one) as affirmation of the above. Thank You to BB and Patriot Organization.
