ChevyVanMiller Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Not long ago, the *Pats seemed to have one of the all-time great dynasties of all-time. Since then, they posted a perfect regular season, only to lose in the SB. Got caught in the spygate scandal. Lost another SB to the Giants and now have lost the AFC title game at home to the Ravens. How do you think history will judge the Belichick/Brady era? Will they win another SB? Discuss...
Captain Hindsight Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Like a team that won 3 super bowls in 4 years and was division winners for 11 of 12 years. AKA Damn good
Doc Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Tarnished more than it already was after Spygate? Nope.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Show me someone with a better decade Without cheating or with cheating?
Punch Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 They will be remembered as the dominant franchise of this era. Some will (perhaps rightfully) assign an asterisk to their accomplishmets, but it will not be be the prevailing view. Does a dynasty last forever? The 49ers eventually slowed down but it didn't taint them.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 The Pats legacy is solid but it's curious that they don't pull games out of their asses like they did before Spygate. I'm convinced some of those "miracle" wins were from cheating. PTR

I'm convinced some of those "miracle" wins were from cheating. PTR yeah, what an off the wall conspiracy theory. so crazy, that the league itself handed down the harshest penalty in history for doing exactly that.
Meathead Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 once again, what have they won since they got caught cheating? nuthin
Lurker Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 The Pats legacy is solid but it's curious that they don't pull games out of their asses like they did before Spygate. Their defense continues to let them down.

I'm convinced some of those "miracle" wins were from cheating. PTR Perhaps, but Brady is getting old too. He's not the same guy at 30 whatever as he was in 2002. No matter how much ESPN and the rest of the media jerk him off...
Fixxxer Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 of course it is. They're cheaters and Bellichick is a scumbag.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Their defense continues to let them down. Yeah. It's a lot easier playing defense when you know what plays are coming. PTR
The Wiz Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 of course it is. They're cheaters and Bellichick is a scumbag. Wearing a hoodie with the arms cut off doesn't help improve this image either.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 The reason they are a dynasty, and one of the best ever, is the same reason that the Dallas Cowboys were a dynasty from the late 1960s to the early 1980s when they were 12-2, 11-2-1, 10-4, 8-6, 10-4, 11-3, 12-2, 12-4, 11-5, 12-4, 12-4... pretty much every single year, they were the team to beat, most years some team rose above and beat them, and usually then went back down for a year or two or forever. But they were always at the top, for a ridiculous amount of years.
Playoff Bound Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Bellacheats magic hoodie has let him down again.
truth on hold Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 No they've had an amazing run. However based on what I saw today that window is closing.
Punch Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) once again, what have they won since they got caught cheating? nuthin Aside from 76* regular season games and 5 playoff games? You're right, nuthin'. *an average of 12.7/year over 6 years. Edited January 21, 2013 by Punch
