Don't get me wrong - I want the Pats to win the SB, but don't you think 15 years from now most people would still be talking about a perfect 16-0 season more than they would remember who won a Super Bowl 15 years ago? A perfect 16-0 regular season is much more rare than winning a Super Bowl and may be more memorable long term. But lets still do both

the Patriot

Nope, it would only become one of those factors you could use in a Brady vs Manning argument. It's like Colts fans bragging about how they're undefeated in September. Nobody cares. You have to win it all in my opinion.

Idiocy.

Regular season is MEANINGLESS except for winning HFA in the playoffs. If you are 16-0 and then lose even in the SB, you are still LOSERS. Only thing that matters is the SB.

I'd rather go 11-5 and win the SB than 16-0 and not.

Teams play to win the Super Bowl. Period.

Don't get me wrong, 16 and 0 would be awesome, but if the team doesn't win SB #4, big deal.

No denying that going 16-0 is a much rarer event than winning a super bowl. A team wins the super bowl every single season played whereas it's extremely rare for a team to not lose a game in the regular season.

Honestly, given the fact the Patriots have already won 3 super bowls I'd probably remember a no loss season more than another super bowl win when all is said and done. And, no I'm not saying I'd prefer a no loss regular season over another super bowl win.

There is no question that Patriots would want to go into the postseason with at least a 2 game winning streak no matter what their position is going into the late stretch. So the goal of doing well in the post season requires that they win their last 2 games so there is no decision to make from a Patriots stand point this year that is different from any other year of super bowl runs.

3rd & Long

You're right in that years from now they would still be talking about the undefeated season, but it'd only memorable in a positive way if they won it all. You definitely wouldn't want to be remembered as the undefeated regular season team that lost in the playoffs.

I don't understand you people. An undefeated/perfect season means winning EVERY game, regular season and playoff. Its not the 16-0 thats impressive, its the 19-0. 16-0 doesn't mean anything without a trophy. Thats why going 16-0 isn't an undefeated or perfect season yet. jeez

This is the year. We put our failures in the past, it's a new year, a new defense. It's time to prove to the league that the Patriots are back and aren't going anywhere and they will be the last ones standing in Feb.
Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

i would be memorable and very embarrassing to be undefeated in the regular season and lose in the playoffs.
