BUt then I was only 10 at the time.

I still see Boston fans bristle when the name Bill Buckner is mentioned.

I was pulling for the Pats because I wanted to see them shut the 72 Dolphins up. They are still pretty close roster wise so I hope they can make the off season changes and take another crack at 19-0... unless they play the Browns :P

I was a little disappointed when i heard randy moss saying that the season meant nothing without a superbowl win but I guess I can understand that from a player's point of view. As a fan, I thought they had a phenomenal year with slew of records that have been broken and they've brought the game to 'nother whole new level like the chicago bulls did during the 90's. I hope they will resign moss during the off season and bring back the offensive coordinator and the entire offensive team next season. As for the defensive side, i think it needs a little bit of adjustment and a lot of older players like bruschi, seau, etc could possibly be hanging it up this year. we'll see what happens. but i doubt they'll have another year like this one.
