Well, the Patriots did it. They beat the Giants to have a no-loss season. 16-0. Pretty impressive.
I'm sure there are people who will say, "Yes, but they barely beat the Ravens, and they didn't look all that great against the Giants and . . ." But you know what? They won.
Being perfect (in the football world) doesn't mean you have to beat every team by 35 while not allowing a point. They found a way to win. They found a way to overcome Tom Brady's 5 interception performance. They found a way to come back from a 16 point deficit. They kept persevering. They kept at it. They kept moving forward. And they were successful.
Football is life; the rest is just details.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

WOO HOO!!!
Exactly. In one half this year, they didn't score. I dare you to remember which game and which half next november.
I heart Tom Brady.
I am *petrified* they are going to lose now, when there is no more room for losing. You can find me with a bottle of Pepto, rocking in a corner somewhere. Sheesh. Didn't I give this kind of stress up when the Sox went all the way in October? =P
