I've been researching results from the salary cap era (starting with the 1994 season). Win or lose next week, the Patriots have been to their 5th Super Bowl since the advent of the salary cap. No other team has been to more than 2.In that time, NE has the most combined regular season wins (145 . . . 2 more than GB) and the most post season wins (18 . . . 6 more than PIT). They are tied with IND and DB with 10 playoff appearances in those 14 seasons.Since we always hear that this is a copycat league, what haave the Pats been doing that other franchises need to adjust their model to improve their results?Combined regular season record (1994-Present):NE 145-79-0 0.647GB 143-81-0 0.638PIT 139-84-1 0.623DEN 137-87-0 0.612IND 134-90-0 0.598PHI 124-99-1 0.556KC 124-100-0 0.554MIN 123-101-0 0.549JAX 113-95-0 0.543DAL 120-104-0 0.536SEA 119-105-0 0.531SF 118-106-0 0.522TEN 116-108-0 0.518MIA 116-108-0 0.518TB 115-109-0 0.513NYG 113-110-1 0.507BAL 96-95-1 0.503STL 107-117-0 0.478BUF 107-117-0 0.478CAR 97- 111-0 0.466CHI 104-120-0 0.465NYJ 101-123-0 0.451ATL 100-123-1 0.449WAS 100-123-1 0.449SD 109-115-0 0.446OAK 96-128-0 0.429NO 94-130-0 0.420CLE 66-110-0 0.375CIN 86-138-0 0.374DET 86-138-0 0.374ARI 81-143-0 0.362HOU 32-64-0 0.333
