This all started as a simple website. I came across an infographic on Reddit outlining the Patriots records vs every other team in the Belichick era. I loved it, but wanted it to be sortable and filterable. So I made a simple webpage that allowed me to do that.
Then I wanted to be able to update that webpage, so I build a back end behind the page. And then I noticed some discrepancies in the numbers, so I updated the back end to allow me to add every game into it and have the graphic calculate the numbers automatically. You can still see that page here. And there's a version for only Tom Brady games, too.
And things snowballed from there.
This site has grown to something I couldn't have imagined back when I started. I worked with another Redditor to add highlight gifs to the games. They had been diligently creating gifs for all new games, so I've started to help by going back and capturing highlights from all the older games. So far we're back to 2009, with some other games sprinkled in.
While I've been going back and capturing highlights, it occurred to me that there were a lot of Patriots games that I just didn't remember, but enjoyed rewatching as I was grabbing highlights from it. This dynasty has been going on for so long (almost 20 years at this point!) that there's no way to remember all the good (and some bad) that's happened over that time.
Which brings me to the podcast. I've convinced some of my closest people to go back and rewatch every game of the Patriots dynasty. And we're going to do a podcast on each game. So without further ado, please enjoy the Patriots Dynasty Podcast.
