It still factors into the big picture.
Like calling Belichick the greatest coach ever when he had a 36-44 record coaching the Browns !

Ronnie,

i don't think he had it easier. I would say its very difficult to be on a team that could win a superbowl while you are learning. Different paths, but both difficult. more pressure not to loose on brady and more pressure to carry the franchise on manning.

either way i couldn't handle either.

Ronnie,

That is a problem with ownership sometimes. if you can't win for 30 years the problem is with ownership's commitment to winning.

Kudos to you too, SK!
Well said, and quite true with the whole RCA Dome Bull Sheet!

Cain't WAIT for the Chahgahs to be exposed for the loud-mouthed,
trash talking, wannabe winners, left coast frauds that they are.

Perennial Pretenders, NOT
Real Contenders, iffin ya ask me.

The most fun this Sunday, for me, will be seeing the tick, tick, tick, tick.........BOOM !

That will be the certain implosion of Phillip Rivers and the explosion of San Diego's SB dreams. Sure hope Volek is taking tons of snaps, since Rivers has yet to take one this week. Likewise Turner better be just as ready to go, since Lilly Tuff is already thinking about saving his knee for next year .

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

92-95 were not to bad years. yes they were a dynasty. It is tough to compare dynasty's from different decades, because the game changes and so does the speed, but the Patriots dynasty is definetly better than the cowboys for a few reasons.

When you win 5 superbowls, are the wealthiest sport franchise in the world and generate the most money for any team in the nfl then come talk to me about ownership

I think you are right Ronnie...but he has the weight of the world on his shoulders now!

Wrikerjr.....I mean no disrespect to the Cowboys! I am a football fan and enjoyed watching them and all their success through the years! They had plenty of success! I just think the Patriots are doing things right now that have never been done and this, I think, is going to go on for at least 3-4 more years....if we are lucky! If they cap this season with a Superbowl victory.......they will sit at the top of the all-time heap in my opinion!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Agreed with that 99%, keeping this up 3-4 years i would like to see that. Its very tough to dynasties together, but i wish you luck.

and as far as putting Bledsoe in the company of other similar QB's I'd Say he's comparable to

Warren Moon
Jim Kelly
Dan Fouts

Gunslingers that really couldn't put together the Big win when they needed it.

Don't get me wrong, I like Bledsoe, the Pats wouldn't be where they are now without him. He was one of the reasons they've built themselves to where we are now. he filled the seats and generated huge income for the team. I also don't fault him for the Superbowl Loss....that one was Parcell's Fault

and also as far as Brady not being able to get a touchdown when they need one to win a game because he FINALLY through an INT to the colts last year is crazy talk.

The Guy had a 16-0 season and during that season he had last minute scoring drives (all TD's) against the Eagles, Ravens, and Giants.
