I think the Pats need a blowout win if they want to shut some of us up !
Ya they’ve won 5 Super Bowls but 3 Point squeakers don’t impress me.

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

I could agree with that, but have to ask; what is more crushing for the losing side? A blow out like last week's NFC game? A win snatched away by self inflicted damage as was done to Seattle? Or a comeback from the ashes as was experienced by Atlanta?
This is not one of the better Patriot teams brought to the game during the Kraft era, IMO. Game is a coin flip as I see it, with the edge to NE if only because Brady and Belichek have experience on their side. So I don't see a blow out. The team that should have won in a blow out ended up at 18-1. |

Oh I'd have to go with the comeback win in Atlanta Ross, OMG watching the change in the owners face on the sidelines as it went from I can't wait to crack the champagne bottles to are you kidding me we lost.....priceless.

Does it make a World Series win any less special if it goes 7 games instead of 4? A Stanley Cup?

I don’t agree.
You going to tell me the Giants were the better team in 07 because the won ?
The Rams were in my opinion the better team in 01 but they lost.
My point is if Patriots fans like saying greatest team ever or Tom Brady the greatest qb ever, a convincing blowout win would help that argument.
Good luck Sunday.
I could care less about who wins or watching the game, I’m taking a knee on the NFL.

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.  |

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
