Just happy to see a Boston sports team back in the championship stage again!! It's been too long 

We survived the Mac Jones, Cam Newton, Bailey Zappe and Jacoby Brissett era!

Not sure if it?s fair to group Mac in with those guys. He did very well with McDaniels as well.

Did very well until like Week 14 or something and then fell flat in his face against the Bills in the wild card round

Payton had a couple notches in his coaching belt take out for the decisions.  I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, TAKE THE POINTS!  The Rams should've kicked to only be down one late in the game too.

Last time there was a Pats Seattle SB it was during a Boston snowstorm. Coincidence or fate?

Who do you want Seattle or LA?

It?s funny, the NFL for me, moreso than any other sport, is full of teams for whom I can have a visceral response of loathing.  Like more than half I legit can?t stand.  Seattle has never been one of them for me.  I think maybe I was fascinated by them as an expansion team when I was a kid. 

I was definitely pulling for them against the Rams, despite also feeling like LA would be a better matchup for the Pats.

Also, thinking over yesterday?s game and I?m just so impressed with Vrabel and his staffs ability to figure out the best way to win given the feel of different games.  And the players? ability to implement that plan.  Yesterday came down to ball control.  Keeping the clock moving and holding on to the ball. The Pats did that beautifully in the circumstances.

Such a unique game.

I mean that wild card game was really summed up by the Bills not having to punt a single time and our defense giving up 47 (could have easily been 60+). By the time Mac Jones went out there for just his second drive, they were already down 14-0.

I do agree for the most part. Mac had a solid rookie year. But the team afterwards just screwed him over with the Patricia/Judge fiasco, Belichick the GM meddling (not getting much talent and poor drafting), etc. Ultimately it worked out and now we have Maye, and I think Mac Jones is in a good situation with the Niners as well for his skillset/abilities and the Shanahan system.

We were in the championship stage two years ago with the Celtics? We really are spoiled here in Boston

(though I know you are in LA? Probably why you?re so desperate for us to get on the championship stage again  )

Most definitely!! Even tho the Celtics won in 2024, felt forever 

But the Patriots haven't been back since 2018 so that one is much needed.
