Pallidrone 1,658 Report post Posted January 23 I didnt care either way, but now I am leaning towards wanting the Pats to win. Maybe with this win Tom will finally retire. Also adding another ring puts them another step above the Cowboys which is always delicious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why, but I've been steadily going in this direction too. There's something about the Rams that really annoys me. I don't care if Brady gets a 6th ring. The Pats being the greatest dynasty ever to this point, just means the Eagles' victory against them was even more incredible. If the poser Rams with their air of entitlement can beat them, in some way it makes the narrative around what the Eagles, did a little less spectacular, and I don't like that. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had that thought myself. It'd be cool if we were the one team that beat them in their stretch of 3 straight appearances. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander fans DO NOT consider the Pats a dynasty. To them, a dynasty requires a team to win at least FOUR CONSECUTIVE titles. The 1979-'83 Isles are STILL the last team in any of the "Big 4" pro sports to do that. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of that group of Islander fans who lived through that era also saw the Montreal Candiens right before the Isles also win four straight from 1975-'79 and also saw other teams win 4-6 titles in a row and/or grew up hearing about UCLA winning seven straight titles in Men's Basketball from 1967-'73, etc. We would not be having this discussion had in 2016 Draymon Green not done what he did in Game 4 of the NBA Finals leading to a Game 5 suspension and the Cavaliers winning that NBA Finals as the Warriors would have won four straight. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my brother is a Pats fan so I'll root for them on that basis alone. However wouldn't it be poetic if the team who started their dynasty actually ended it? I like them less since Goff proclaimed that they "deserved" to win the championship game when everyone knows it was handed to them by the refs. And Gurley was even more obnoxious about it. I hope the Pats bury them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocketman44 146 Report post Posted January 31 I remember the interview with Warner after the game. He was angry to say the least. He said that the Rams "beat Themselves" and he obviously realized that they blew a game to an inferior team. But it also closely echoed SB 25, when a high scoring Bills offense was shackled by a Belichick-coached defense. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
