It's mind boggling.
At some point, the worm will turn and New England fans will look back on this era with awe and longing much as I suspect 49er fans look back on the mid 80's & early 90's. It will be fans like my son who will be ill equipped to deal with it because they don't know the pain. They don't respect the current winning streak because it's all they've ever known.
As a Bills fan living in New England, I will enjoy that immensely.

Tell him to become a Lions fan, then he'll know true ineptitude (said from a life long homer Lions fan).
