I don't know about that. The Rams line had four pro-bowlers, but
one was injured, and I feel the others were questionable choices.
Anyway, the Pats have a much more consistent quarterback, at least
over the last half season, than LA. And the Pat's running game is
more than one runner.

Very true.

Oh no you don't! You can't slip that one by! Many of those points
were scored by the defense. MANY. Their offense is not that great.
Of course, it hasn't had to be.

Any fan can say that. We'll see.

It'll take more than one Superbowl win to justify such a statement.
Don't forget the Packers won 5 titles in 7 years, and the Steelers
won 4 in 6 years. That's dominating. And as for the rushing defense,
which a few recent postings have called the best ever, don't forget
the Steeler defense, which one year faced Oakland and Minnesota (Chuck
Foreman) in the AFC title game and Superbowl, and surrendered a combined
total of under 50 yards rushing!
