I don't think we will ever see a team do what the Patriots have done in the salary cap era.
Since 1996 the Pats have:
Won 3 Superbowl
Appeared in 6 Superbowl
Appeared in 9 AFC Championship games
Appeared in the Playoffs 15 times
Have a 33-31 record in seasons when they didn't make the playoffs.
This is a Yankees or a Bill Russell Celtics level of dominance and they are doing it without early first round picks in a sport requiring more players and with the highest amount of injuries of any sport.
I love the Hawks, think they are the most fun to root for of any team I've ever supported, but I don't think we'll come close to the run the Patriots are on.
