It also means fantasizing about what would have become of Belichick if he didn't have a gift top five all time QB covering his rear end for all his questionable personnel decisions over the years.

Yep, built one of the best defenses in the league and beat the Patriots in the playoffs in '94 with Testaverde at QB. Then in '95 they were ~.500 when the move was announced and promptly lost every game.

The Patriot Way means Belichick winning three Super Bowls by a slim margin with defense and a great kicker, and then drafting a bunch of bad players but still winning games because Tom Brady covers up all of his bad personnel decisions.

If having a hall of fame QB makes up for all coaching and GM deficiencies, where are all of Dan Marino's and Jim Kelly's rings?

The Patriot Way is lucking your rear end into win after win and failing upwards. McDaniels, Charlie Weis, Crennel, Cassel, etc.

In this off-season brought to us by an incredible Patriot win, I want to put down my copy of Michael Holley's "War Room: The Legacy of Bill Belichick and the Art of Building the Perfect Team". I've had it since 2012 but I was waiting for them to win another Super Bowl so the book could have a happy ending. Eli Manning almost ruined the course of human history.

I wanted to take this time to ask you: What does the Patriot Way mean to you? What does it make you feel? Does the sight of 4 rings on Tom Brady make you feel like you can accomplish anything when your number's up and it's time to show people what you've got? Does Belichick's tactical genius make you feel like a tiny little bitch in comparison?

To me, it's the end of a long saga that started the first time Eli Manning and the Giants beat Tom Brady. I was against New England at this time. I won't bore you with the details of my life, but the consecutive Patriot Super Bowl losses are associated with some very pivotal moments in my life. And both times... I wanted Eli to win.
I've since gotten better. Both as a person and as a football fan. And to watch the Patriots win that 4th, to vindicate Tom Brady to his children after the previous losses to a man taking up residence on the autism spectrum, and to do it in that way to that team was just... incredible. I was in British Columbia skiing at the time as and everyone in BC was apparently an overtnight Seattle fan judging by the bright, new jerseys on the people in the bar. As a tiny aside, there was a guy covered in tattoos that was yelling "THAT'S RIGHT BEAST MODE! THAT'S RIGHT BEAST MODE!" all night. The sound he made after the interception will probably be the last thing I remember as I die in an old folks home surrounded by loved ones with a smile on my face.

So I guess what I'm saying is, to me the Patriot Way means that life is long. It throws a lot of poo poo at you and you change. You get better. You get smarter. You figure your poo poo out and you start cheering for the Patriots to win Super Bowls. You go through ups and downs but if you believe in yourself, and if you have a big enough chip on your shoulder, pretty much anything is possible with The Patriot Way.

This is the dumbest post, in the worst thread, on the ugliest forum.

The most competitive division ever is the NFC east because it's total unpredictable anarchy every year.

What I'm saying is Eli Manning is a true Champion who had earned his victories while Peyton and The Patriots are a big loud wet fart

Between 2002 (when the current division lineup was created) and 2010 (Manning's last healthy year with the team), the Colts won the division seven times, and also secured a wildcard berth. The rest of the AFC South made the playoffs six times.

During that same period of time the Patriots won their division seven times. The rest of the AFC East made the playoffs six times.
