Ted Johnson, lawyer milloy,, Willie mcginest, Otis smith, teddy bruschi, Ty law, drew bledsoe, Adam Vinatieri , troy brown and suspended for the season Terry Glenn. All those players played in one or more super-bowls with troy brown and teddy bruschi playing 4 super bowls with bruschi and brown playing for the 07 patriots. Also a couple coaches on the team ended up winning super bowls as well, Crennel,Weiss, and Belicheck REPLY

@wiley163507 жыл бұрын
Bledsoe's interceptions had less of an impact then you make them out to be. After the first 2, the Patriots were still able to get the lead. The last 2 happened late in the game down multiple scores with the last one bouncing off the receiver's hands. The defense had it's moments but gave up 2 big plays that went for touchdowns. The special teams were detrimental because they gave up a huge momentum shift in the 3rd quarter after the offense got the game within a touchdown. After the kick return by Desmond Howard the Packers defense dominated because of the momentum swing and the Patriots could not stop Reggie White. Despite 4 interceptions, the Patriots offense still produced more points than the other 2 teams that the Packers played in the playoffs that season.

+Aaron Martinez I still remember the 1996 season vividly. A lot of fans (including myself) felt Parcells was not doing his coaching best in what turned out to be his last Super Bowl game. He was already making his move to the Jets, and that irked his staff, particularly then-assistant head coach Bill Belichick who had assembled a good game plan against Green Bay. Had Parcells and Bob Kraft got along, maybe the outcome of the Big Game could have been different.

Now 21 seasons later, the 2017 Season - Bill Belichick as Head Coach of NE and Tom Coughlin as Executive VP of Football Operations of Jax. Here we go again! Belichick and Coughlin were assistant coaches in 1990 on the Giants and won a Super Bowl together. Coughlin beat Belichick in 2 Super Bowls (XLII and XLVI). Their paths continue to cross.

One of the loudest it’s ever been ...Tuck rule baby. Happened to other teams during they year and happened against the pats playing the jets earlier in the year.

It certainly did not help that numerous Patriot players defected to the Jets between 1997-1999. Curtis Martin was the one that hurts the most. Don't forget that Bill Belichick was Assistant Head Coach & Defensive Backs Coach on this 1996 team. So he already knew the core players that eventually helped win the first three Patriots Super Bowl titles. It was amazing how fast Belichick rebuilt the team when he came back as head coach and instilled his style of football. As for Dave Meggett, I remember him as the precursor to Kevin Faulk, the change-of-pace third down back. Never knew he's in prison, but sad to read that Meggett will be a free man in 17 years, at age 67.

yup and the only guy i can remember that came back to the pats after their stint with the jets was otis smith, looks like he was loyal to belicheck and his coaching staff, and remember he was cut by the jets in 1996, and the pats signed him during the 1996 season,
@MoniqueFromPlymouth7 жыл бұрын
And then Otis Smith moved back to the Jets for 1997-1999. I was surprised Otis returned to the Patriots again in 2000. Perhaps he did feel he flourishes under this particular style of football. Of the Pats players who defected for the Jets with Parcells, Otis is the only one to ever come back to New England. Not a lot of Pats fans appreciate him for that. And he got a Super Bowl ring in the end for that choice. Interesting note: The starting secondary for the Pats in Super Bowls XXXI and XXXVI were practically identical save for one player... Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy, and Otis played in both. Willie Clay (XXXI) and Tebucky Jones (XXXVI) were the difference.

Weadfreek as a fellow die-hard patriots fan, Drew was a great quarterback for a few seasons (95-99). at times he was wayyyyy too careless with the football and depended on the long ball far too often. throwing passes behind his head as he was falling down and throwing into double and even triple coverage when he shouldn't. That's why Brady was such a breath of fresh air. He didn't try to force things that weren't there and panic. He took what the defense gave him and showed the maturity and composure of a veteran early one. Bledsoe was a very competent QB for most of his career with plenty of flashes of brilliance but ultimately the game passed him by.
@Weadfreek7 жыл бұрын
Bledsoe was playing today's game 20 years ago. He always tried to make something happen and sometimes it worked against him, but he had little to no offense to work with so he had to do it. Secondly..with Brady..when you get paired with the single greatest head coach in history from day 1 and follow his system, you're going to be successful. Also..I don't hear too many people bitching about how many INT's Favre threw back in the day...Brady is amazing but put him with another team and another coach and I think he's mediocre at best.
@evanderchristy67127 жыл бұрын
Weadfreek little to no offense? I'll admit his weapons aren't as potent as the Pats weapons as of late, but to say he had no offense is plain dumb. he played behind a strong offensive line and had options such as Curtis Martin, Ben Coates, Terry Glenn and Shawn Jefferson for the bulk of his career. hardly a weak offense
