I will always remember the Patriots season of 07-08 as the season of breaking historical records but not joining the great 1972 Miami Dolphins team in perfect city,which for me records are useless because over time they get broken again so the only thing that lasts for ever is a championship win which the Patriots have 3 thats all that really matters at the end.

FWIW, yeah, the ending sucked, but it was still a damn good ride up to that point. [Honestly, every time SB42 pops into my head, I just think back a few weeks, and that puts the smile back on my face.]

But I did want to point out something worth noting. Remember how everyone talked about the Patriots' offense "struggling" in the second half of the season? Because they only averaged 32 points a game instead of 42? Well, FWIW, even if that had been their average for the season, it would still have been one of the top 10 scoring season in NFL history.
