In what order would you rank the Patriots SB teams? From best to weakest

[Actual Pats Fan]

pretty insane #: the patriots had more sb appearances from 2001-2018(18 year span , 9 appearances) than any other team has had in their entire existences.

And there could have been more, as Coach Belichick was human and made some boo-boo decisions, personnel and strategy-wise. We can take the good with the bad, as fans, but what is so frustrating is that in certain respects he never learned or changed. Stubbornness very often goes along with tremendous success; often people find themselves trapped in this way. Red Auerbach, when he coached, was exceptional in his ability to keep team focus and goals fresh even amidst constant success. Bill's leadership and development of Tom was the Bucs' gain as much as Tom getting fed up with us needlessly falling short.

That said, I can easily see Tom, personally, having no problem chasing Bill Russell's number of titles. Remember, the Celtics won the last two titles with Russell coaching and Auerbach upstairs.

And similarly, opponents and their fans weren't too happy with the Celtics winning all the time. And Auerbach wasn't exactly humble about it.
