U old fuk

[@Snowboy2015]

49ers fan here since 86 but always liked the pats and those cool unis..everybody loved flutie, of course. fryar and Morgan were sick! tippet is a living legend..wish the pats would go back to those colors.

I'm afraid you may not have liked us that much if Berry hadn't hated and insanely benched Flutie so we missed the playoffs. We beat the Bengals and Bears and had more playoff and Super Bowl experience than anyone in the AFC postseason, and if the right decision had been made (like Belichick in 2001 keeping the kid in there who would go on to set records and win titles) we could have ruined Coach Walsh's last game.

@@robfloyd7389 ha ha! spoken like a true pats fan! 49ers were a team of destiny that year. they only won 10 games but turned it on when they had to. hard to believe anyone could have stopped them. pats were a fun team tho. I never realized they had all this firepower on that squad! I agree, horrible decision to bench flutie- they could have done some damage in the playoffs!

[@alec1115]

I just can't get over how nice the Patriots uniforms are.

[@Snowboy2015]

pound for pound the best unis in the 80s! I also liked the Seahawks and Bucs unis for different reasons. but every team had nice unis. not like today! we can blame the '97 broncos for starting this BS

[@rftulie]

Flutie's ability, as a short guy, to find and hit open receivers with defensive backs towering far above his head and bearing down on him was amazing.

[@creeper2054]

I really liked that team. You got the feeling that they were on the verge of breaking out the following year. But instead they went 5-11 in '89.

[@andrewcoen1373]

Love the NFL Films music from that era, especially one used in opening game to start video. I also love Jeff Kaye as a narrator.

Say what?

[@azahrmalik2259]

They need 2 go back 2 the old unis

[@timotundy]

It’s funny. My uncle took me to training camp... not many fans there. We got to talk to Raymond Berry for a while. I didn’t know who Berry was at the time

[@jonstefanik9400]

Week 14 vs. Seahawks was my first Patriots game(attended). I do remember it was very cold and Irving Fryar getting injured in the 3rd quarter but sprinting out of the locker room in the 4th.

[@dwightlove3704]

John Stephens at 6'2 215 was a 4.40 guy in the 40

Revenge win vs chi ought to be uploaded

[@spencerpalmer7118]

R.I.P. Russ Francis.

[@mitchrichards1532]

If only they had a good kicker that year, probably would have won 2-3 of those tight games and won the Div.

[@markc5771]

Back when the Patriots were likable

[@Snowboy2015]

yeah, they were fun to watch and feel sorry for.

[@joeshields2005]

I don’t think you have even been likable . Just an observation

[@markc5771]

@@joeshields2005 For certain! Welcome to Costco; I love you

[@johnshelton6434]

A lot of us have always thought the Patriots are likable.

[@Fireyninjadog]

The pats would put up 5 straight losing after this, including a 1-15 1990 campaign.

[@4yules]

they deserved a better fate but i think the 86 loss in the super bowl was tough on them

[@reesepacker7983]

i agree for a team that beat probably the two best AFC Superbowl contenders that yr in the playoffs ..one that actually BEAT the Bears that yr ..yeah it had to be hard ...
