Is this team the ultimate peak of how well a sports team can

>>75948505
At least in my 21 years of life I can't think of a team that has come close

>>75948505
18-1 (eighteen wins, one loss)

>le epic hourly patriots jerkoff thread
fuck off bandwagon losers, you are the ultimate cuckolds

>>75948505
barcelona takes a shit on them, the equivalent of winning 6 of the last 8 superbowls

>>75948833
Why are you so buttmad about being a (Jets/Gnats/Failcons) fan

Could be argued that the San Antonio Spurs are/have been very similar looking at the last 20 years.

>they have talented players on both sides of the ball

>>75948505
That would be Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. A solid core of academy players as well as some quality foreign players. Whenever a player got too big for their boots (like Beckham), SAF sold him. Also NFL teams only have to compete in one competition. United under SAF managed to succeed in multiple competitions at the same time.

the Spurs under pop and the pats under bellichek are the two greatest franchises in American sports history

>>75949557
nope. 90's bulls are the best franchise and nobody will ever come close. not even brady has the capabilities to pull off two three peats.

>>75948843

t. Salty Moor rape babby that thinks soccer is relevant

>>75949080
>Offense
Brady
Gronkowski
Edelman
Cooks now too

>Defense
McCourty
Hightower
Butler
Flowers?
Gilmore now too

>ST
Gostkowski
Slater

Yup, top shelf talent in all 3 phases of the game. The only place you could really say they are lacking is offensive line, but Scarnecchia is the best OL coach in the NFL and he gets the most out of his players.

>>75948854
Why would a Giants fan be butthurt about beating Brady in the super bowl twice?

>>75949903
sorry if I crushed your hopes and dreams, should have included a 'trigger warning' for your thin amerilard skin

>>75948505
I don't follow Baseball but when I was younger I heard that the Yankee's always win.

Patriots are the best team in Football, with that said they would not have as many super bowl wins/appearances if they were in the nfc. When playing good teams luck plays a role and the Patriots would have to play more great teams just to make it to the superbowl in the nfc.

What team has been the second best team in football over the past few years?

>>75948843
>>75949120
>>75949872
except the NFL actually has parity

>>75948843
>>75949120
But those leagues have no salary caps, and both Barcelona and Man United were among the richest teams in their leagues (with Man United becoming the richest by a mile not long after SAF's initial successes, allowing for more successes).

The NFL has a hard salary cap, no team has any real financial advantage over others (although teams in desirable cities have a boost over others when it comes to free agents). For the Patriots to reach 7 Super Bowls and win 5 in just 16 years is insane.

Turns out it's really easy to win a lot when you cheat.

>with that said they would not have as many super bowl wins/appearances if they were in the nfc.

Lol, you're full of shit. Four of the past 5 champions have been from the afc.

>>75952034
>with Man United becoming the richest by a mile not long after SAF's initial successes, allowing for more successes.

Allowing for success, but never ever guaranteeing it. Man United were never alone in having considerable financial privilege.

>>75951998

What the hell are you talking about? The AFC has been stacked for most of the Patriots' dynasty era. Manning's Colts, the Steelers, Manning's Broncos, the Ravens...all won the Super Bowl and reached it multiple times. There were also solid teams like the Chargers.

>>75952101
True, but they were consistently head and shoulders above almost the entire league financially. Throughout SAF's time in charge (except maybe the very beginning), there were never more than 3 teams on Man United's level financially (Liverpool/Arsenal, then Liverpool/Arsenal/Chelsea, then Chelsea/Man City, etc.).

>>75952042

Having a smart owner and competent general manager and head coach is considered cheating now?

>>75952571
No filming games about 10 yards down from where the league tells you to film is cheating now.

>>75952641

Damn.

Well since the league put a stop to that almost ten years ago it's a real shame how the Patriots have stumbled and never really regained the success they had


oh..

>>75949872

>have the greatest player of all time in a sport where a single star player has more impact than any other sport and parity is non-existent
>win a bunch of championships

Really makes you drink...

>>75951998

This argument is beyond retarded. It's not 1995 anymore, the AFC was/is the best conference in football since Brady/Belichick.
>Patriots: 5 Superbowls
>Manning-lead Colts/Broncos: 2 Superbowls
>Steelers: 2 Superbowls

The only team in that time frame in the NFC that has more than 1 are the fucking Gnats who haven't won a playoff game in 7 years.

And yes, consistently having to play a first ballot HOF QB in your playoffs is more difficult than beating the NFC meme team of the year.

>>75953227
then where are lebron's three-peats? that's right, he doesn't have any, because he spent most of his career on a bottom feeding franchise.

>>75953408

Lebron isn't the player Jordan was

Also, LeBron has made it to 7 straight NBA finals so that's pretty fucking impressive.

>>75949872
>6 seasons with the goat is comparable to 2 full decades of dominance with an ever changing roster of role players performing twice as well as they did before/do after they leave the team
The 90's bulls were great but not because the entire organization was so welt built and maintained

>>75951402
if you have to keep bringing up something from a decade ago you're probably salty

>>75953508
The Bulls had the GOAT for 13 seasons, they won 6 titles.

>>75953564
2008 and 2012 were both less than a decade ago

>>75953565
They only dominated the league for those 6 seasons. The Spurs have been title contenders every year since Duncan was drafted.
This is because they have, inarguably, the best head coach, gm, and front office in the history of the nba. Their system gets the absolute best out of every player and that's why they're always so dangerous

>>75953431
he is the jordan of his era, when you compare his skillset to 95% of the league. and despite that he doesn't have the credentials. he watched finely tuned machines like the spurs and lakers win championships.

>>7595322

>parity

Stop using words you dont understand

>>75953676
Lebron's a very different player from Jordan, their only real similarity is that they're the best of their respective generations. The Jordan of this era was Kobe, who was basically Jordan Lite. Nowadays I would say it's Westbrook, who's like Imitation Flavor Jordan.

>>75951998
Lol. Confirmed idiot. The AFC has been better than the NFC since the start of the 2000s. There are statistical win/liss numbers to back that up. You have no idea what you are talking about and you should stop before you make yourself look any dumber.
