The Pats have been to a Sb at least once a decade for four straight decades.

'85, '96, '01, '03, '04, '07 and '11. 80s, 90s,00s and the 10s.

Hey we beat a winning team!

Let's hope we'll knock the Broncos down a peg.

My Thoughts on the Upcoming Broncos Game

Hey guys, I just wanted to put my thoughts on the upcoming Broncos game out there and see if anyone else feels the same way or see how everyone feels. For the first time ever as a Patriots fan, I want the Patriots to lose this upcoming week. Accumulate great stats but lose the game. Why? Not because I want the Patriots to lose, but because it's inevitable in wanting the Broncos to win, and that's what I want. Tim Tebow incites inspiration. He is a God among men. The things he does on the football field is just statistically improbable. But he gets it done every week. I'm a very religious Christian and I have my thoughts there but I'll reserve them because I don't want to offend anyone. But religion aside, just look at the greatness that is wearing #15 in Denver. You are experiencing the stuff of legend whenever Tim Tebow steps on the field. The kid is special. I want him in the playoffs. I am a believer. I want the non-believers and the physicists who claim that him winning the Super Bowl is impossible to choke on their words. Of course when it matters, my heart will always go to the Patriots first. So if the Patriots have to face the Broncos in the playoffs, there is no doubt that my heart will be for the Patriots to win. But if the Patriots somehow were to lose in the playoffs, and not to the Broncos, I'd be rooting for Tebow to advance and win the Lombardi trophy. If you've managed to get through this entire post, kudos. Yes, I have a man crush on Timothy Tebow. Is it that obvious? But anyway, I feel like I'm the only Patriots fan who in his heart will want the Broncos to win this upcoming week. Am I? Let me hear your thoughts. And whatever the end result next Sunday, let's all hope for an injury-free game!

What are your thoughts on Bill O'Brien

Draft picks

Here's a thought. BB is saving up his draft picks for the time that Tom eventually retires (in ten years, after another 3 SBs) cos he knows the new QB will need help early on. What a nice guy.

Running game gets more important the longer the lockout lasts

I think that with the teams' playbooks getting smaller as the lockout drags on running plays will get more important as they are easier and quicker to prepare and practice than passing plays, which puts a new perspective on BBs attention to the run in the draft
