    They're a good team but also very lucky, their opponents always do something dumb in crunch time.
    Seattle in the Super Bowl on the goal line throws a pass it gets intercepted.
    Atlanta in the Super Bowl with a lead on 3rd and 1 they drop back to pass, the Pats get a sack and fumble.
    Pittsburgh this season had a chance to win throws a int in the endzone, confusion on the playcall.
    Jacksonville in control had lead in second half, gets conservative and can't get first downs.

    Yes some luck, but I also see their team's better prepared than all
    the other teams. Players are put into position to succeed.Especially during crunch time
    They execute what they have been PREPARED to do in all situations.

    No team wins a Super Bowl without some measure of good fortune. They have won a lot of Super Bowls so they have had a lot of good fortune.

    They've also has some bad luck too. Without a miracle catch by David Tyree, the Pats are going for #8, with a perfect season to go with it.

    Luck happens, Ben makes a shoestring tackle on an Int vs Indy, Venetare missed a FG and they go to SBXL
    James Harrison gets pushed out of bounds at the one on his Int, and they lose to AZ.

    A game of inches.

    That's actually a credit to them and not a detriment. Due to the way they run things their players never have the mental lapses and breakdowns you see from others. They also from a scheme set do what works for their players and not just try to employ what they think will work. I remember ocho saying when he went there it's like soon as you walk in the building you know you have to act and conform to their ways and philosophies.

    Because they are called the Patriots, and what better way to show rest of the world that AMERICAN FOOTBALL is Patriotic, than make a team called the patriots relevant. ...

    Tom brady came out of nowhere now he is playing for his 6th ring....why? Because we want the rest of the world to know Americans are patriots and patriots are winners....it's all politics....it's all in the name ....

    Not so much their team name but their political leanings, Kraft is a long time trump friend he donated 1M to his campaign, brady is a republican seen wearing a make america great again hat, belichick wrote a congratulation letter to trump for winning the election, no wonder trump is their biggest fan, and most of the NFL refs are right wing leaning republicans who will make calls favoring the pats any chance they get, even in our game since dan rooney voted democrat in the obama elections was appointed ambassador to ireland as well, tomlin is a democrat who held a Dem fund raiser at his home, so politics got us in the game we lost to the pats, now see how the calls go for the eagles since their owner Lurie is a dem, theres no doubt about it, politics are defining who looses and wins when it comes to the patriots,as well the jags owner Khan is a muslim who slammed trump for his immigration Mulim travel ban, so was it a coincidence they were flagged so much while the pats went flag free getting only one 5 yard penalty, think about it, politics are getting played every time the pats play a game.........

    Majority of non African American players are Republicans , I think Trump made a comment about how him and Big Ben are best buds and trump invited him and Peyton manning to some private event , but BB did not go......Big Ben is a trump supporter but he never shows his true color like brady and manning..Peyton manning is now campaigning for trump...Majority of white players are republicans....The name Patriots goes beyond trump days, Robert kraft have also donated big chunk of money to The Democratic party, but true ,billicheat ,brady and kraft and trump are best buds......

    Obama was a big steelers fan and when pats went to the WH obama called them CHEATERS , and kraft replied "this Is why I didn't vote for you " ...they all smiled and went their own separate ways...

    Why do the Pats win so much?

    Well, it has nothing to do with their nickname, and it has nothing to do with home much money Brady, Bellichek and Kraft donated to political campaigns or who they voted for.

    Or Maybe Dan Rooney screwed up, instead of taking that ambassadorship to Ireland, he could have got Obama to fix another Lombardi or two for him.

    Take away all the scandals and had honest refs I could see Brady with 2 SB's under his belt.

    And I do believe there is a ton of politics at play too. And Vegas.

    this is the stupidest thing I've seen on the internet for a long, long time and I doubt it will ever be topped.

    the pats won 5 SBs, some with democrats in power, some with republicans.

    I cant even believe we are talking about this.

    you guys should stop watching football since you believe its completely rigged, or have tomlin write a glowing letter to trump asafp.

    jealousy has bred insanity here.
