I would definitely have to go with 2004.
I LOVED the 2003 team, and I have to ask myself, what is the difference between the 2004 team and the 2003 team. Simple answer: Corey friggin' Dillon. He was an absolute monster that year.
Not only that, but what I absolutely loved about them is that they REALLY could win any way possible. They won in a shootout against Indy. Then they were able to win in a rain/mud bowl against the Baltimore Ravens.
...and how 'bout that postseason run?!?

In the Divisional Round we played against the Colts, who don't forget were favorites to win even though the game was in Gillette. WHy, you ask?
1.) The Colts completely destroyed the Broncos.
2.) Manning was coming off an NFL record 49 TD passes. They had three receivers that had 1,000+ yards and 10+TDS each.
3.) The Pats were so depleted with injuries that Troy Brown was the main cover guy for Brandon Stokley.
4.) Ty Law and Richard Seymour were to miss the game.
...and the final score of the game? Pats 20, Indy 3. That's right, 3. Unbelievable. This is clearly my favorite Pats game aside from the Pats-Rams Super Bowl.
Then on to the AFC Championship Game. It set up perfectly just like a movie. The Pats were to face the Steelers, the team that earlier in the year ended their 21 game win streak, and was now a 15 game win streak themselves. oh, and what happened? The Pats put up 42 points against the Steelers #1 ranked defense.
I mean, c'mon, that was just unbelievable.
Oh, and we won the Super BOwl against a team that had made it to the conference finals for the fourth straight year, so they were not a flash in the pan type team.
I was a HUGE fan of the 97 Patriots too though. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to see them win.
2001's playoffs were very special because nobody expect us to win but it was not enjoyable from beginning to end.
