Still 8 more losses than Blake Bortles.Brady is now 27-9 in the playoffs. One game short of double Manning's wins.
I completely forgot that this is the Jags 3rd AFC championship game.Personally I'd put losing the AFCC as a 14-2 #1 seed at home as more disappointing than the first AFCC loss to the Patriots where they weren't even supposed to be there. It's debatable though...or, rather, it was.
Need all the angles.Need more angles.

I don’t get it.And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
Mike, I’d rather be 4-0 in Super Bowls than 5-2! Mike when you think about it Brady should be 3-4 at best!!!!! Montana was a winner Mike!Twice as many Super Bowls as Montana. As many as Montana and Bradshaw combined
You landed! Good thing you missed the gamethread. We had the Pats season done at least a dozen times during the first three and a half quarters.Fuck everyone but us.
I think there's an air of resigned acceptance regarding the Patrios This one cracked me up.I can now fully understand why the rest of the NFL hates the Patriots.
And they were extremely close to beating Denver in January of 2016. 4-3 is absurd, 5-2 would be laughable.I don't know the year that this stat goes back to (probably 2001)...
Playoff teams not named the Patriots are 3-70 when trailing by 10+ points in the 4th quarter. The Patriots are now 4-3 in such games.
Looks like he just lost a duel.
That's a fantastic story. Thanks for pointing it out.I love how the Patriots always take care of the little things:

I put the 1985 AFC Championship #4 after your top 3 though I'd reverse 2 and 3. I had it #2 on my personal list before the last 2 SBs happened. And they only surpass it due to the incredible nature of those victories.It's been discussed before but in the game thread Shaemonu suggested that Sunday's win is maybe the 8th most important win in franchise history. Since I have two weeks to kill that got me thinking and here is my list:
1 2001 Superbowl - Franchise first
2 2014 Superbowl - Breaks the Giants curse
3 2016 Superbowl - Biggest comeback ever
4 2004 Superbowl - Solidifies the dynasty
5 2003 Superbowl - The "forgotten" superbowl
6 1985 AFC championship - Most important win in franchise history prior to the Kraft ownership.
7 2001 AFC Championship - #1 isn't possible without this win.
8 2007 Week 17 -This year hurts to think about but perfect regular season is an amazing accomplishment.
9 1996 AFC Championship Proving we're actually relevant
10 2018 AFC Championship "Just another" playoff comeback
11 2012 AFC Championship Throwing this in here because it was a good game
Only one game prior to this ownership makes my list. Kraft has had an unbelievable run of success.

2001 - played in stadium they had previously lost (multiple) Super Bowls (New Orleans)2001 - Knocked off an emerging dynasty (StL)
2003 - Beat a rising NFC South power (Car)
2004 - Beat Philly
- - -
2014 - Knocked off an emerging dynasty (Sea)
2016 - Beat a rising NFC South power (Atl)
2017 - Square off against Philly
Still...that's pretty cool.2001 - played in stadium they had previously lost (multiple) Super Bowls (New Orleans)
2003 - played in Houston
2004 - played in place no one wanted to go in the winter (or ever) (Jacksonville); both coordinators left
2014 - played in stadium they had previously lost Super Bowl (Arizona)
2016 - played in Houston
2017 - played in place no one wants to go in the winter (Minneapolis); both coordinators leaving?
The locale comparison between 2004 and 2017 is a bit of a stretch, but still.
Odell wants to be a Patriot so bad.
Try and find why I am posting this.
Would BB even want him if he was available?Odell wants to be a Patriot so bad.
No. They certainly wouldn't pay him anything close to what he wants and I can't imagine his sideline antics would go over very well with Belichick. He's all distraction, all the time.Would BB even want him if he was available?
Bill brought in Chad Johnson and Randy Moss, who were both thought of as prima donna, "me first", wide receivers. I think money would be the only obstacle here.No. They certainly wouldn't pay him anything close to what he wants and I can't imagine his sideline antics would go over very well with Belichick. He's all distraction, all the time.
What is the Giants curse?2 2014 Superbowl - Breaks the Giants curse
Someone who does not get excited when our opponents are making big plays, and someone who displays his passion for football only when the Patriots are kicking ass. That’s the sad answer.I don't get the Romo hate. The guy is fun, has insights no one else in a booth can currently offer (or is willing to) and he's downright a breath of fresh air as compared to Simms or the other stuffed suits that cover the national games. Who would people prefer?
Looks like the typical locker room scene after any other victory. Ho hum, just another trip to the super bowl.
Perhaps you forget the general perception of Randy Moss, or Corey Dillon before they became Patriots.No. They certainly wouldn't pay him anything close to what he wants and I can't imagine his sideline antics would go over very well with Belichick. He's all distraction, all the time.
I think this list (and the others) are all solid and defensible. I might quibble with a few games ( for instance - I think regular season wins are generally underappreciated - I would struggle to keep the intentional safety or McGinest goal line stand games off the list). But my larger point was how yesterday's game - which as great as it was still probably ranks somewhere closer to 10 than 1 on most peoples list, would be considered the first or second most dramatic win ever for many franchises. If you exclude "historic" wins from the equation (yes, the Bucs did win a Super Bowl - it was a shite game) the number goes even higher. My list, on quick reflection and only considering wins - Buffalo, San Diego, Arizona, Detroit, Atlanta, Jax, NYJ, Philly, NO, Tampa, Cleveland, maybe Tenn. - and I'm probably missing some obvious ones ( oh yeah - Houston). All these fan bases would right now be saying "our greatest win ever, or at least a close second". Here it's absolutely appreciated but context realistically demands that we have to consider whether it makes the top dozen or not.It's been discussed before but in the game thread Shaemonu suggested that Sunday's win is maybe the 8th most important win in franchise history.
