Except that the Pats DIDN'T win the 2006 AFCCG or SB42. They lost both in the waning seconds of the game because they mismanaged the clock. In both cases the team could have run more time off the clock or forced the opposing team to use their time outs. In either case, the opposing team would have been much more desperate upon getting the ball back and even less likely to pull off the win.

Also, Please show me where people aren't giving credit to Belichick for pulling off an undefeated regular season and winning 18 straight.

I don't agree with the idea/strategy that BB should have run more time off the clock on the Pats 2nd to last drive. We struggled to get anything going in that game, so you take points any way you can. I don't like focusing on running the ball or wasting time, just so the other team won't get any time to come back. First you have to get a lead before you start worrying about that.

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.
