New England Patriots - Team History: The New England Patriots are on pace to have a record setting season and perhaps go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl. With Tom Brady at quarterback and his most recent victory over the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning, it looks like the Patriots are destined to finish the season undefeated. Over the past decade the New England Patriots have turned their franchise into the leagues #1 attraction. Coach Belichick is the mastermind behind the teams success and it seems that almost any player thrown into their system becomes a star. Randy Moss has gone from has-been to superstar in less than 6 months and is the leading wide receiver on the team. The Patriots play their home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. If you go to Patriots.com you will find seating charts, ticket information, current roster moves, schedules for the season, and injury reports so you can follow the team through the season. Tom Brady has alread guided the team to 3 Super Bowl wins and he will surely win another before he is done. There are few teams over the last 3 decades that can dominate year after year and perhaps the Steelers of the 70's and the 49er's of the 1980's are the only teams to have accomplished more than the current New England Patriots. With top players like Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, Richard Seymour, Mike Vrabel, and Kevin Faulk the Pats are a tough team to handle both on defense and offense. Past greats that played for the Patriots have included Steve Grogan, Michael Haynes, and Andre Tippett. More than anything it's their coach Bill Belichick, with his trademark sweatshirt, that seems to be holding this team together and playing at such a high level.
