Super Bowl Predictions

No one has ever put together something like this over such long period of time: 16 years, 14 playoff appearances, 11 Conference Championship games, 7 Super Bowl appearances and victories in five of them. It's mind boggling.

At some point, the worm will turn and New England fans will look back on this era with awe and longing much as I suspect 49er fans look back on the mid 80's & early 90's. It will be fans like my son who will be ill equipped to deal with it because they don't know the pain. They don't respect the current winning streak because it's all they've ever known.

As a Bills fan living in New England, I will enjoy that immensely.

It's like the Red Sox pink haters, of course the Pats streak is much longer and more impressive, but the Sox going from nothing to a couple of World Series sweeps in a very short time spoiled a lot of younger fans. I remember the old line "The Sawx killed my grandfather and now their coming for me!"

No kidding, My Dad never got to see them win it.

At least the Sox are usually in the mix these days. I still don't know how the hell we're gonna replace Papi. I mean, I know he's irreplaceable but I was hoping we'd get Encarnacion, at least. We need a Catcher with a stick, too.
