BDII Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 And yet, every team except one would have preferred having a season like that than the one they ended up having. It's interesting seeing non-Patriots fans still getting so worked up over that Superbowl while just about every Patriots fan simply shrugs their shoulders now. Pretty much this What other team has 4 rings in 15 years? What other team has a better win record? No one is getting worked up about it. Pat's are nothing but cheaters with Goodell in their back pocket. That team was completely irrelevant before the AFC championship game against the Raiders. So, they didn't go to two superbowls before 2001? Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 What does the Raiders game have to do with anything? The tuck rule was called before that game during that season. And *against* the Patriots no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDII Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 People get mad when they see a team win year after year while they're team has ups and downs. I'm a lifetime Pats fan. I remember the losing seasons. The beating they took from the bears in the Superbowl. I'd still rather go 18-1 than have my team not make the playoffs. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. People forget how good the AFC east is. Teams in other divisions make the playoffs under .500 In 2008 the pats went 11-5 and didn't make the playoffs. Need forum help?

DickDastardly00 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I disagree. He's a great QB that needs better talent around him. Andrew Luck is not a great Quarterback, he is not consistent enough to be called great. It's not a matter of the talent around him, a great QB will put the team on their shoulders and win games. He has not demonstrated that he can do that consistently. He is not worth what they just paid him. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the Steelers, and they won 4 rings in 5 years, not 15, from 1975-1980 ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I meant to say "last 15 years" In the last 21 seasons no team has been able to achieve what the Patriots have, basically the post Salary Cap era, 1994 onward. I'm not sure that success will ever be replicated or even surpassed either. I guess one could say 'never say never' but that's a tall order. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SpecB_DE Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Pats had no fan base before 2000 but now they are everywhere. They have been a hell of a team but all the scandals and TB crying any time a player gets close to him really pisses me off. Dude motions throwing a flag, one gets thrown, then he tells the ref what he "missed". Luck is very smart and has the ability to be a great QB but they should have spent that money on beefing up the oline. No QB can survive when they are running for their lives every down.

I'm speaking in terms of around the country. I see so many Pats shirts, bumper stickers, decals etc. None of which were present prior to 2001.

I'll be at Sea Colony the week of Sept 11th. We typically take my girlfriends car because it gets better gas mileage but I plan on driving this year. We could hit up a bar and grab a few drinks if you're around. Back on topic.... The Raiders are making a push and should make the playoffs barring multiple major injuries. Anything less would be a failure imo. It's been a long time coming but they have finally assembled a good squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Oh man I would love to see the Raiders go all the way! Think we could see the Raiders make a playoff run this year, the offense still needs to come around but I expect that defense to be even better this year, and now Ken Norton Jr (Super Bowl winning Defensive Coordinator- Seahawks 2014) has Bruce Irvin to add to that Defense, Irvin is a helluva player, look for a breakout season/pass-rush will be insane. Wish we could've kept him. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Remember Jim Plunkett? Looked like his Raiders helmet was 3 sizes too small or he just had a fat face? Great quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Irvin opposite of Mack can become very dangerous for o lines. My thoughts on Musgrave are still in the air as his play calling was horrible and predictable. Pass plays on 3rd and 2 or run plays on 3rd and 8 really made me wonder if he is that silly or didn't trust his players. IIRC, they were in every game last year except week 1 against the Bengals. That "quit" never showed it's ugly face. Pats gear to a wedding? How classy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
