I was listening to a sports talk radio show yesterday, think it was Rich Eisen, and they mentioned two very interesting coincidences from the Pats' last two Superbowl wins, involving the game turning plays.

Against Seattle, when Wilson threw the pass from the one yard line, it was the 108th time it had been tried, by any team, all season, and that was the first time that play had resulted in an interception.

Against the Falcons, when the Falcons had a 1st down on the Pats' 22 yard line, it was the 108th time all season that a team was in that position with a 1st down on their opponent's 22 yard line, and it was the 1st time that the team in that position had to punt.

So more evidence God is a Pats' fan, and has a sense of humor?
 
The final score of New England's first SB win? 20-17

The year that New England won it's 5th ring? 2017

:)
 
It's all hindsight now but all the Falcons needed when there were on the 21 was a FG to put the game away. There was absolutely no reason to do anything other than run a safe play and then kick the FG on 3rd down.
 
The Patriots have a 5-2 SB record. Coincidence? I say not.

SB 5-2

SB 5-2

SB
5-2

SB 52

Compelling if not overwhelming.

I think you run on 3rd down again, to chew up another 45 seconds.
But they got there by being an attacking offense, and didn't know how to dial it down when it counted.
 
Pats lost the first two Super bowls they played in and then won the next three.
Pats lost the next two Super Bowls and won the next two..We should win the next one..2-3-2-2(?3)
Not exactly Fibonacci but it will do..
