Still need to have 7 SB wins to be the all time best franchise .... only have 4 right now. If they beat Atlanta, they will be tied with Dallas and SF.Coydog wrote:Record 9th Super Bowl Trip
Bill Belichick has done something neither Chuck Noll, Tom Landry nor Bill Walsh ever managed. Same for Tom Brady, besting the likes of Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach and Joe Montana.
Together, Belichick and Brady have put themselves into a record seven Super Bowls. And they made the New England Patriots the NFL's first franchise to play in nine Super Bowls with a 36-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in the AFC championship game.
That victory helped the Patriots break from the NFL's pack of royalty, the teams who seemingly take turns making the league's championship games into their personal finish lines.
With a Pats win Brady will stand on top as the only quarterback with 5 SB rings. GOATXtremeJibber2001 wrote:Still need to have 7 SB wins to be the all time best franchise .... only have 4 right now. If they beat Atlanta, they will be tied with Dallas and SF.Coydog wrote:Record 9th Super Bowl Trip

Also, the Steelers were founded in 1933, Patriots in 1960.SnoBrdr wrote: True but those older records were set during the "slavery" period of the NFL.
Super Bowl didn't exist until the mid to late 1960's. Non factor. Who won the Championships early on when the Pats didn't exist? I believe Greenbay and the Giants were an later factor.Coydog wrote:Also, the Steelers were founded in 1933, Patriots in 1960.SnoBrdr wrote: True but those older records were set during the "slavery" period of the NFL.
Yes, true enough, the first Super Bowl was in 1967. I still remember watching that game on a b&w TV the size of a refrigerator with my dear Gramma, a rabid Packers fan.Dr. NO wrote: Super Bowl didn't exist until the mid to late 1960's. Non factor.
