umm sorry i hate to say but youre a little wrong there, the pats were fenominal especially in 96, which ended up with them at the superbowl, losing to the packers, but finishing their season 13-6... which is pretty damn good, and i totally agree, that the pas havent always been good, whoever said the browns are shit and always will be, is an idiot think about baseball, its been around longer, and teams can suck for a very long time, but come back and be amazing... take the perfect example of the red sox, hadnt been truly great since early 1900s and have now won 2 of the past 4 world series, also, they suck now, does that mean that teams cant change performance? i think i just proved my point
