Ditto.

Nothing would be a greater FU to everyone. Nothing.

Of course I wouldn't mind going 15-1, 14-2, etc. But nothing beats 16-0. We've shown it's possible to do that in the regular season. Now let's complete the story.

To anyone who is "tired" of perfection, why?!? Do you like losing?

Losing the Super Bowl was not exciting to me.

Chasing perfection didn't make the O-line collapse or make the defense miss multiple sacks and picks. It didn't make the Giants catch incredible breaks.

The stress would be quadrupled over this year for the players and the intensity of the opposition would be magnified all year long.

There are too many trips to the west coast. I can see a loss to SD and maybe Seattle. And of course there is the annual obligatory loss to the Dolphins in Miami. This year was an exception because of their lousy team but they will be disciplined enough to hang on this year.

I will be happy with 3 losses and a SB win.

Brady would be any coach's 'meal ticket' for the next 5+ years.

Should he do it the way the Colts have done it? Blow a bunch of money on a small handful of players, build through the draft and hope they perform before they can get a bigger deal elsewhere?
That's got them a bunch of 12 win seasons, a bunch of one & dones, and a single, solitary SB ring.

If not the Colts, then what other team is doing it better than the Pats since 2000?
What other team has won 3 out of it's 4 SB appearances?
What other team has been to 5 out of 7 of it's conference championship games?

Bill should start a new FU tour: FU to those who keep harping about perfection. Play his second stringers every game until the Pats lose. Only after a loss, put the first stringers back in.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

I don't know. You would have thought the same thing about Peyton, but ask Jim Mora how that went...

Exactly. I don't see why people blame it on being 18-0. I guess at 17-0 the OL was fine, but when they hit 18 they all started *****ting themselves.

Never going to happen. With a game at San Diego next year, the Pats are guaranteed at least one loss.

PatsFanJess

haha. ok pal. no ones ever guaranteed a win or a loss. and what makes you think it gonna be against San Diego?? You have a great team, but considering weve owned you as of late, I think your line of thinking is a little off.
