Talking football after a Pats loss always bums me out. Doing so on a day when their QB1 might be injured and the future looks a bit bleak, makes me think back to the golden years.
This specific topic came to me while driving in my car this morning, listening to sports radio (NYC-area) talk about how debilitating it will be for Dallas to lose their QB1 in game 1. They talked about the Bengals losing Carson Palmer and a few other incidents. Oddly, they didn't mention the Pats losing TB12 in 2008. Coming off 18-1 and then going 11-5, but missing the playoffs. Going 18-0 that year (before The Scottish Game) is an event that had never happened before or since.
Then I thought of the Pats winning 21 in a row over 2003-2004, again, a streak without equal.
3 SB wins in 4 years.
8 AFC Championship game appearances in a row.
But surely there are others.
So what do you have?
