IMO, 16-0 is a very special season. No one else has ever done it.

Going 18-0 is even more special.

Going 18-1 and losing the SB was disappointing but does not negate the other 2 records or diminish them in any way.

As for Polian, he is very good at putting teams together. After that he should (Please be quiet - edited).

Here's is a new banner that they can flay at the Lube thanks to him.

A lot of these comments are kind of ironic, given that after SB42 a lot of posters were second guessing our decision to get into an all out slugfest with the Giants in that last "meaningless" RS game, who were saying that the 16-0 record didn't mean jack b/c we didn't finish the job, and then later calling the stadium banner a cruel joke.

Now everyone (including me) is saying what an epic, brass balls achievement the 2007 regular season was. Interesting how 16-0 now becomes a crowning moment of the franchise when we get to use it to pile on the Colts and Poilan.

I hope Mannings fingers freeze on the sideline and he cracks a bone trying to catch an errant Painter pass!

It is. All of my friends who are Pats fans hate that banner. My Bills fan friend is the only one who likes it because he thinks it's ultra-lame.

Just like people used to argue that the AFC was better than the NFC even though the latter had that long streak of winning Super Bowls, because the AFC won more of the regular season interconference games between the two during the same period.

Not exactly the same thing as comparing Pats vs. Colts in this decade, but I think it fits.

I really need a new sig pic

Bringing you snarky commentary since 2008.

It doesn't mean a whole lot to me either, but I didn't want to see the Colts break the Pats' consecutive regular season game streak because, IMHO, the Colts didn't face near the competition in their streak that the Pats did. Also the refs made a lot of calls against the Pats during their streak, while the Colts got a lot of bogus calls their way in their run.

The Pats faced teams like the Cards, Bills, Fins, Seahawks, Browns, Texans and Jax during that stretch. Not exactly the creme de la creme of the league back then...

Yehoodi

yes but you must also remember, and perhaps, you forgot, that we faced the #2, #3, #4, and #7 seeds (the browns you mentioned who only missed the #6 seed cause the Colts gave the titans a gimmie in the last game ) in the AFC, and the #1, #5, and #6 seeds in the NFC, we played 6 out of a possible 8 playoff teams for a given season, played against an undefeated teams in their house (DAL - #1 seed NFC) in what was a game (at that time) between two undefeated teams at the latest point in a season and only went on to put up one point shy of the most points EVER in Texas stadium, we there after broke that undefeated match-up record when we played the colts #2 seed, in thier house, we saddled with a franchise record in penalties and still won.

We not only had the top seeds in each conference, we got everyone's A+ game, and they all spent their wad playing us, as evident by the fact that our opponents were so drained after our games they went a collective 1-15 after playing us, we on the other hand had to go out the next week and get everyone's A game,

THAT is what the 2007 Pats did . . . (not to mention all of the records)

all it takes is one game loss to break a streak, we had the top seeds in both conferences, 1, 5, 6 & 2, 3, 4, 7 with everyone bringing the A game . . . how do you think most teams would fair if they had that kind of schedule, it simply doesn't get any tougher than that . ..

It doesn't matter. The Patriots annihilated those teams.

The Patriots played all but one playoff teams that year. That says a lot.
