I guess you probably aren't impressed with Tom's comeback history either, to put them in a position to win by those few points. |

Yes & no
If they were truly the better team would never had been down .
Last year was either Tom is great or the Falcons got stupid in the 2nd half. Same goes for the SeaHawks and the dumbest play call in super bowl history.
The best super bowl team (07) lost to Eli

Only because of the outcome. Had it yielded a score, it would have been the smartest play call in catching them off guard by not using their star RB
It's so easy to talk AFTER the fact.
But the fact is, the PATS have been at the top, probably longer than ANY other team. You just can't deny that |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Like I said, a blowout (convincing) win would back that up

Ronnie, the better team figures a way to make enough of the critical plays on THAT day in THAT game to win. Period. With one caveat.... winning on a missed last second field goal attempt (Buffalo, cough, Scott Norwood, cough) is not making a critical play

You seem to have forgotten Parcells' game plan of clock control by pounding Ottis Anderson all of the second half, keeping Kelly and the Bills' high powered offense on the sideline. And a 47 yd. FG isn't a gimmie, even now. Especially on a grass field.
And some defensive genius figured out a way to hold the Bills, who scored almost 100 points in the 2 AFC playoff games, to only 2 TDs. What was that guy's name again? Bill, Bill something or other.  |

Gotta give the devil his due.
8 Super Bowls for Brady is something you won’t see in our lifetime for any other QB.

Thanks! Insane game from start to finish. That exemplified why I wanted the Eagles to face Brady. There were literally zero seconds in that game where it felt like the Eagles had it wrapped up. Sure would love a rematch in Atlanta to give Carson a shot at it, but bless Nick Foles. Dude has stones.
