Brady has now reached the Super Bowl more often than not as a starter.  Incredible

Took me a while to understand what you meant.  He's been to 9 SBs in 17 years (is it 17?) as a starter. That is incredible.

Yup, 17 seasons as a starter.  19 in the league.  He didn't play as a rookie and missed the 2008 season due to injury.

Never gets old!

Amazing game.  I wasn't even as hyped up as usual for this one, but definitely right up there in great Patriots playoffs games. 

We are blessed.
Yup

That was a nail biter!  :o two great offenses thankfully our defense was better than theirs.

Now that my blood pressure has dropped 100 points, I can comment.

What a game. I feel like New England made it closer than it had to be, but they made the crucial plays, especially Edelman on that TD drive in OT.

NINE Super Bowls for Brady-Belichick. Crazy!

I don't know what to say. They were bad until they weren't. The chiefs were the better team until the pats won a coin flip.

It feels like the pats had a bad season and yet they're in their third super bowl in a row.

Nothing makes sense except everything follows a script, apparently, which is that the pats don't lose until they face a hated foe in the AFC championship game or they make the super bowl.

This ride will end eventually but it's fun while it lasts, even if I still believe it probably should've have ended already.

Will they win this year? It doesn't seem likely, which means it's anybody's game, I guess.

Huge win for the Pats tonight! Reminded me of Superbowl 51 and those championship drives. Tough task winning in Arrowhead, but Tom Brady finally exorcized some demons there.

Can the Patriots continue their dominance against Wade Phillips' defense and Aaron Donald's Rams? Bill Belichick vs Sean McVay? Tom Brady vs Jared Goff?

I felt KC-NE was the Superbowl. The Rams QB isn't as great as Mahomes (and maybe Philip Rivers). But that team is stout.

they just beat the chiefs in arrowhead. not sure how a super-bowl win "isnt likely" sure anything can happen...but to be fair the Rams shouldnt even be in a superbowl.

and Pats dominated the first half. not sure how they were bad until overtime

Yeah, the Patriots are favored and vs. Rams on a neutral field is an easier game than @ Chiefs. 

Not sure how anyone could conclude Chiefs were the better team up until the coin toss.  Pats had more first downs, doubled up on time of possession and nearly 200 more yards gained in regulation.

That is the genius of the Pats and why they are reviled in public and respected in private. These teams and their fans do not know what hit them until the game is over. They do not see the genius of Belichick but spend most of their time hating Brady. The Pats are hard working dedicated professionals with very little frills. Just look at players like Edelman and Hogan, Gronk. They do this all the time that you have to pinch yourself to remind yourself that what they are doing is UNREAL. Three 3rd and 10 conversions? Beat KC with two turnovers. Two minutes drill run to perfection with no room for error.

Yeah let the Rams think they are much better than the Pats. Let them analyze the game by names on the back of the jerseys and not the name in the fronts of the jerseys. Let them underestimate Belichick with 2 weeks to game plan for Goff.

I am okay with all that as long as the Pats come in healthy, they are my favorite to win the game.

Brees v Brady would have been fun.

Rams v Pats is kind of uninteresting, oh well.

Anyways, kudos to Belichick/Brady for their continued dominance of the AFC.
