There have been so many great years in the 20 year Patriot Dynasty, some before as well, but I’ve often thought about my favorite year as a Patriot’s fan. Which one was it ? I really loved 2001, the 1st championship is always so sweet, and 2004, Corey Dillon, that incredible defense, going 14-2 and having to go to Pittsburgh for the AFCCG, and going in and kicking their asses. 2004 was also so special because I think they became the 1st team(and maybe only) to ever lose their starting CBs, and still won the SB. I also think about 2018, and how nobody gave that team a chance, and they went on to win it all.
But when I think about all of them, I think 2016 is my favorite year. The Deflategate Revenge Tour. After all the BS for 2 years, and Brady being suspended for 4 games, a complete garbage suspension. Seeing Brady after that suspension, and he was just so surgical in his destruction of teams that year. Then in the AFCCG, destroying the Steelers once again, it was just amazing. Of course, follow that up with the most incredible, impossible comeback win in SB 51. Seeing Brady at the apex of his greatness was just awe inspiring to watch.
Of course, all 6 SB wins were special to me, getting to the SB for the first time ever, the 1985 season was special to me as well, and then 1976 was really special, what a great year that was. But I think 2016 was my favorite year.
