Why can't all these great Super Bowl winning teams ever win by more than the skin of their teeth? 3, 3, 3, 4, 6. Interceptions at the goal line and 25 point comebacks. Did the Patriots just happen to face the five best NFC teams in the past 18 years?
Even poopy pants Peyton won by 12 and 14. Had the Pats not pissed away the one seed in 2015, would there be any doubt that they'd be down by 10 in the 4th against Carolina, needing Brady to score two TD's as usual?
They've always been passive. I watch these other teams, even the crap ones, and even they have one d-lineman who blows up his guy one on one and nails the QB. When do the Pats ever do that?
