They wouldn’t have been a dynasty but it’s also nice when you realize he stopped the Steelers from 3 more Super Bowl appearances as well. No wonder they hate him so much.

This^^^

Nothing has been more satisfying than the way he destroyed the Steelers over 20 years. That 2004 team was so ****y and disrespectful, and he never let them forget that. Steelers are like Iguodala on loop.

I don’t know if there has ever been more enjoyable back-to-back games than the Colts and Steelers playoff games from 2004.

Holding Manning who had just thrown 49 regular season touchdowns and a Colts team who had scored 522 points to just 3 points.

Then going to 15-1 Pittsburgh and dropping 34 offensive points and 41 total on their #1 Defense.

The show’s writers gave us the best villains in Season 1 & 2. Nice attempt in later seasons (Suggs, Harbaugh, Sherman, etc.) but could never live up to those lofty standards.

That's the first thing I thought of too. We took at least 2 titles away from Pitt and maybe 1 from Balty. Also Rams should be X2 imo. Everyone was crowning McVay and that team. He had the "I'm seeing Ghost look" on his mug a few times last SB.

I was looking at some old seasons, and was there ever a bigger discrepancy between conferences than 2004 and 2006? Maybe the NFC being way better than the AFC in the 80’s and 90’s, but that was also before the salary cap.

Brady must thank God everyday that he signed with the Bucs.

I hate this.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

I hate this.

Ridiculous. Then it’s 18 games. Are they gonna expand rosters?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I hate this.

Shannon Sharpe, November, 2021: “I am giving Brady credit, Skip! He was the best quarterback of the 16-game era. Mahomes is the greatest of the 17-game era. Give credit where it’s due!”

 

[venecol]

He should've had a tat of the peace sign to Hill (w/o Hill of course).

Not champions, but two other promising teams horse-collared by the Patriots in back to back years.

Chargers
2006 AFCDG
2007 AFCCG

Colts
2013 AFCDG
2014 AFCCG

Chargers are a good one, I kinda forgot them when talking about "would be" fake dynasties.

They have to be one of the most talented teams never to win it. And yea we KO'd them with a body shot. Completely taking their wind from them. LT in tears lol, practically stomping his feet.

One of my all time favorite Patriots wins. Wish I had something with a Chargers logo on it so I can dance all over it myself.

You know the Chargers must have been real a-holes if even Troy Brown of all people was mocking Merroid's lights out dance.

I have believed for years that the 2006 Chargers were the best team in the league that year. I think if they don't blow it against the Patriots, they beat the Colts and then the Bears.

Hell, the 2006 Chargers were better than the 2007 and 2008 teams that beat the Colts in the playoffs.

Thank you. I thought it was pretty close. Despite the AFC being really stacked with the young guns, the NFC was not far behind. And of course Tampa was the best all around team and showed it by thumping the Chiefs on both sides.
