How many teams get to the AFC championship game in an honest-to-goodness rebuilding year?

Having won 3 in this decade - I didn’t feel the sting like I used to (say ‘97 against the Pack). Even the last few Red Sox Playoff busts haven’t hurt that much - as I have the memories of 2004 still replaying themselves in vibrant HD inside mi cabeza. Also agree with the Caldwell dis. I have this little rule - a professional football player should never play football the way I do (i.e. balls through the hands, balls off the head, balls off the groin, etc.) Replay only hurts it more. The ball goes straight through his hands both times. Whether he took his eyes off the ball - who knows - but one thing’s for sure, his eyes were bugging out of his head after both miscues. In the end, I got to enjoy as many Patriots games as possible in a season (minus one) and I’ll still be watching that one - so I got full mileage out of the football season. And I got some damn fine exciting playoff games to watch. Not a bad haul.
