If the Pats win this game, how big would it rank in franchise history?

[Froob]

All the SB victories would have to rank higher and it's hard to put this above:

2001: Beating the Steelers who had their bags packed.

2003: Beating the Colts and picking Manning 4 times, "CUT THAT MEAT!"

2004: Beating the Steelers and Joey "they will never ever ever be on our level" Porter.

2007: Beating.....er um.....watching LT sulk on the bench.

2011: Beating the rat birds and watching Suggs ugly race register the reality.

They're all sweet in their own fashion as this will be IF they pull it off.

Watching LT sulk on the field in 2006 was a lot of fun too. Thank god LT never got a ring.

how about:

Blount returns the opening kick off 109 yards for a TD which sets the tone for a blow out, thus being the game deciding play

How much would everyone here love that?!

a low stress win, I like that idea.

Can we throw in a Manning buttfumble?

Top 5 win for the franchise?

Would probably be the most satisfying win in nearly a decade.

Now you're talking! We won't know if it's top five until it's over, and if they do win and end up winning two weeks later (no jinx, no jinx, no jinx) how can all the SB wins not rank above an AFC Championship game? Plus the win over Pittsburgh in 2001 in the AFCCG would rank, for me, as the all time best AFCCG win because it was so unexpected and so awesome!

But I think this AFCCG victory is much more probable. This Pats Defense is much better ; this Offense is better running the ball ; and TFB has more experience ; throwing to a squadron of more talented shrimps, than in 2001.


That Pitt team had the best Defensive stats in the league, and were also leading the League in rushing behind the Bus.

They will play in the sb again.
I hate this thread and its opposite; they betray a particularly New England mindset. I call it irish (or Yankee, if you prefer) voodoo. If you can think of all the bad things that might happen and say them out loud, they won't happen

....or you can be a Calvinist, clench your jaw and make believe it all doesn't exist.

Sunday will either be the worse day of the year or the best. All we need is one more ring for BB and Brady to secure their legacy. So tired of the spygate crap. I took the first 3 super bowls for granted, only 21 so I grew up watching the dynasty. One things for damn sure, when they win the next one I'm going to enjoy it to the max.

We were given a bag of M&M's in 2001 and we munched on them to our heart's delight in 2003 and 2004. Then in 2007 we got to the bottom of the bag for that last one to savor and found it was empty. Ever since we've been looking for that one last M&M that we all promised ourselves we would savor forever.

This year we find the one we dropped between the couch cushions, wipe off the lint and enjoy every minute of it!

If the Patriots win this game .....

The heads of all Jets Nation explode!

The New England Patriots play in MetLife Stadium.

Mars Attacks!

Even better, the AFC representative gets to use the JEST practice facilities.

 

[Ring 6]

Top 5 win for the franchise?

Top 11.
3 SB wins, 8 AFCCG wins.
They are all the same. Its the achievement not the loser that matters.

 

[Lansdowne]

Impossible to rank but man would it be so satisfying. This is the first time in ages I've felt like the Pats are the underdogs in the playoffs. Bring it on.
