Poll Question: If Patriots lose this Super Bowl what is their place in history?

A. 6 Super Bowl appearances in 15 years, greatest dynasty ever
B. 3 wins cheating, 3 losses not cheating. It's self explanatory.
C. 3 wins and 3 losses. Win some, lose some


EDIT: This was supposed to be a poll started by @REDVOLUTION which I'm having difficulty administering. Still working on it.

This!

The 3 wins they have all came when they had a good kicker who could hit long FG's. Brady hasnt done it w/o his kicker.

IMHO I don't think it matters one squat whether a team wins a Superbowl by 1 point or 30.

The 2001 Patriots shocked the world when they beat the Greatest Show on Turf.

The Ram were favored by 14 in that game -- even more than the Patriots were favored over the Giants in 2007.

The fact the Patriots won only 3 doesn't diminish the achievement one iota .

It does when you are comparing teams and talking about the best of the best. All championships are not equal. For instance, Kurt Busch when he won the Winston Cup was not the same as Dale Earnhardt winning his.

Whatever their legacy is, it's better than the B-I-L-L-L-L-S Superbowl team :)

I have always had a problem with 3 point wins. Both Dallas and San Fran had big victories while the Pats just got by or lost. That's why IMO that can't be the Goat.
That's pretty weak. One of Montana's greatest moments came when he beat the Bengals in the last seconds of SB 23. People (rightfully) praise him for being so cool under the pressure of the biggest moment of the biggest game. No one says "well gee that win isn't really all that impressive because they only won by 4..."

I think you missed the point.

I'm usually super excited this time of year regardless of who's playing in the playoffs and Super Bowl but I swear the blown call has really dampened my spirit. I don't like Brady or his coach and never have. All of this cheating, or accusations of, keeps them from even coming to mind when discussing dynasties to be honest........
