New Sevenland

[PatsFanInVa]

This is for everybody who got sick of Pixburg deciding they're "Sixburgh" because after a monster run in the 70s, they scraped by with two more in the 2000ies with lots of time between the runs, and wanted to therefore be the dominant dynasty on the NFL landscape.

So, five so far.

For all we know it ends here, with indisputably the single greatest run of continuous dominance in NFL history. But yeah, two more would be nice. Hell, one more would be nice.

But somehow "New Sevenland" sounds better than "New Sixland."

Fuggin Stillers fans.

Ugh.........Can we get our 6th first before we talk about our 7th?

Doesnt matter how far between runs. Yes are continuous run is better, but they have more superbowls. its two different arguments. Hopefully after this year its tied

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Super Bowl 40 counts?

I think if a ref admits he was blatantly biased, they should consider removing it from the record books. There really couldn't be a more unfair advantage.

How else do you win when your QB has a rating of about 20 and your team is thoroughly outplayed all around?

"Sixburgh" has a nice permanence to it, like they'll never win again. I can live with that.

As for us, well, it's hard for me to see us with less than eight when BB/TB is all over...so let's shoot for "New Eightland".

Until we win the ninth.

We can but it's the off season, Biff.

Good to have you with us. Lemme tell ya a story.

End of the SB in early 2002. I'm thinking okay here we go, Rams are back in it, I knew it I knew it blah blah blah. Then we're tied somehow at the end. Then I'm thinking we're going to OT then the Rams'll win it. I knew it I knew it. Then, you know, then watching Adam V line that kick up and thinking OMG we can win it and you know what I let myself think?

We could win it, and that would be the best moment of about 35 years of NE fandom, and then I dared to think... what if WE become the dynasty, win another 1, win another 2... suddenly go from recent suckage to championship contention every year.

Nahhhhhhh couldn't happen.

So yah fine, if you want, just go with the first admission in my post. We all know that last year could be it. It could not be it too.

So screw you, I want New Sevenland. I'll see it, "Sixburgh" style, before I die, most likely. In other words, outside of continuity with this group.

Or we can do it now.

I want now, thank you very much, as much as that's being a spoiled rotten Pats fan.

You don't get bonus points for keeping hope dead. Luckily for us both, I'm not the guy who'll be out on the field "getting ahead of himself."

Yeah New Eightland has a ring to it too. Maybe we should call outselves Nextington and Concord

If we're going to start awarding Super Bowls to the real deserving teams, you must begin by awarding Super Bowl XI to the New England Patriots.

What happened to the Seahawks was unfair, but nothing including it can ever compare to 1976. And I've seen a ton of whoppers over the years (Denkinger, 1985 World Series, for example: an honest blown call, not an entire game filled with an avalanche of one-sided calls culminating in two giant ones...the Francis being held was as bad as the phantom roughing the passer)

I don't think he admitted bias. He admitted he made bad calls

It was quite clear to me, that Tom Brady had the attitude - and the ability - to drive for success every year. As a fan, the only question marks were his shoulder, which did hurt...and his personal life. Hiring Belichick was perhaps the most brilliant thing Kraft ever did...although, you know, Bill wanted to be here.

Belichick's staff was simply too loaded with quality - and Brady was too loaded with determination - for the team to drop off. And, the Pats remained humble. I don't remember the Patriots ever being full of themselves. That helps a lot. Makes them rootable, too. And likeable.

Imagine what could have been without that perennial shoulder injury...

Well now we HAVE to go to Minnesota and win...this is taking forever...

Let's just catch up to the Celtics, and then the Canadiens, then the Yankees...

The New England Twenty-Eightriots...


Better save this thread for our grand kids. I'm just hoping to make it until next February.

I can't wait for the ****posts that come in that dark phase after the draft when there really is nothing to talk about for about 8 weeks.
