1. Walt Coleman - ref who blew the call on the Tuck Rule play and reversed a Patriots playoff loss to the Raiders. 2. Matt Walsh - SpyGate camera guy who illegally filmed opposing teams signals from the sidelines. 3. Jim "The Deflator" McNally - DeflateGate equipment guy who deflated footballs for Shady Brady to illegally use in games. 4. Roger Goodell - Robert Kraft's best friend, who allows the Patriots to cheat again and again by giving the Patriots nothing more than a slap on the wrist for egregious and repeated cheating. I wanna add something to #4... And he also makes sure that they have an easy schedule when they go up against non divisional teams to get them spots in the playoffs year after year. How many fucking times does this have to be explained to you?

I wanna add something to #4... And he also makes sure that they have an easy schedule when they go up against non divisional teams to get them spots in the playoffs year after year. One of the dumbest things you've ever said. Each team's opponents are determined the instant the previous regular season ends because the system is automatic.
Each team plays their divisional opponents twice each, an entire division in the other conference rotating annually, an entire division within their conference rotating annually, and the remaining two teams in their conference that finished in the same spot in their respective divisions.
This means every team has 4 games against 1st place teams, 4 against 2nd place teams, 4 against 3rd place teams, and 4 against 4th place teams.
For example, the Pats this year play PIT, @ BAL, @ CIN, and CLE. aka the AFC North. Two home, two away. In 2016, the Pats played those same 4 teams, @ PIT, @ CLE, so even home field rotates.
They also play HOU and KC (1 home 1 away) because they were both first in their divisions last year just like NE. There is absolutely no discretion in determining who plays whom or where.

I find this an impossible exercise. First of all there's a pre-dynasty Rushmore that's pretty tough to decide:
Hannah
Tippet
Cappaletti
Armstrong
Then there are players like Bledsoe, Bruschi, McGinnest, Law who connected pre-dynasty and dynasty era Patriots.
Dynasty era? Where do we start? I don't even know who I'd start at kicker. The guy with the most clutch kick in the history of the NFL (and I don't mean the two Super Bowl winners!), or the guy with the most points in team history. Actually, it's an easy choice, I have to go with Vinatieri over Gostkowski.
Brady
Troy Brown (Go back and watch the first three championships, that guy is everywhere. Offense, defense, special teams. Everywhere, making championship plays)
Fuck it, I just can't decide. I could do a Rushmore for linebackers (Hightower/Bruschi/McGinest/Mayo) and have deserving candidates left out (Vrabel, Ninkovich).
Surely Gronk would be up there. But who was more important to the team's success at WR? Welker's numbers are actually better than Edelman's, but he never won a ring here. All Edelman has done is score the GW TD in Super Bowl 49, make one of the iconic catches in NFL history in SB 51, and win SB MVP in SB 53. When a team has done this much winning, it's hard to decide which players at any given position have contributed the most, let alone four players overall.
Belichick deserves mention, but so does Parcells. If you're using non-players though, wouldn't you have to put Bob Kraft up there? This franchise was an absolute joke before he bought it.
I can't stress enough the importance of Drew Bledsoe when talking about Patriots history. A #1 overall pick who absolutely lived up to the hype and led the team to a Super Bowl appearance before Brady arrived, and a few years later was the ultimate class act when he was replaced and eventually shipped out in favor of the GOAT. Great gets thrown around too much, but it's certainly fair to say Bledsoe was a very good NFL Quarterback for a long time, and during his tenure here he helped drag this franchise from the ranks of league laughing stock to respectability. Brady outshines Bledsoe as he does most (if not all, depends on your preference) QBs in history, but Bledsoe's contributions to the Patriots legacy should never be forgotten.

It boils down to one question: Who's the 4th greatest Patriot of All Time. Cause Brady, Belichick, and Hannah are there. You really can't argue any of those 3. And that's pretty sick that the Pats have the greatest coach, quarterback, and Guard(maybe lineman) of all time, with very little debate. This would be a fun question for all teams. No lie, I was gonna make a thread about everyones team Mt Rushmore like a month ago. But then I didn't, probably jerked off instead or something. You know, important stuff. It's a shame, cause that would be a fun thread. It's a shame this fucking retard had to make it

Check it out, hell of a read. Particularly my posts, as usual. I just saw it! That's pretty cool that one exists. I'll make one for my 4 teams and check it out in the very near future. But to be fair, without my contributions, how great of a thread can it be?

I have a hard time including anyone pre-dynasty, even though there were some great players.
Brady
Belichick
Gronk
Vinatieri
All legends.
