Re: Reiss From The Locker Room: "They're ready"
I seriously believe that playoff momentum is as important as most any factor. Look through our history and you'll see examples of teams, or at least defenses, that came together late, as well as teams who peaked early.
I would Present 2002 and 2007 as examples of teams that peaked early, primarily on offense.
2001 was definitely a team building as the playoffs came on.
Recalling peak levels is actually a fun game to play.
If you don't think Belichick, with his play calling, choice of when to bring injured players back, type of practices and motivational tricks, is not constantly experimenting with peaking at the right time, you just don't get it.
