Pats' Historical Perspective

This may be utterly meaningless, but I thought it might make for some interesting analysis or comparison. Obviously different teams with different styles. Yes, I chose the 2001/3/4 Patriots for obvious reasons. While they had a few big wins, I think Belichick and Brady might both agree that there is no such thing as an ugly win.
