One thing I will say I find amusing about the Pats is they're one of the best at self motivation, now given in 2001 it was easy, they were huge underdogs to STL in the Super Bowl, and in 2003, they were coming off a bad year.

Now go to 2004 the AFC championship win and I think Willie McGinist said "See, no one thought we could do it" and a reporter pointed out "You were the visiting team favored in an AFC Championship game"... Willie "Yeah, but none of you believed that".

The master of this has always been Rodney Harrison who some believe make things up never said and put it in his own head and others as "motivation", well, Rodney's out so Brady has stepped into the role.

things like "Yeah, we're in the playoffs, not like any of you thought we would be".

I must admit, it gives me a chuckle.
