It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think a lot of you guys are glossing over the memories of that night based on a final score that was much closer than the game actually was. The book Education of a Coach talks about that game and how one sided it was. The Rams dominated all aspects of it except the scoreboard.Yep. Pats win that game if A. Smith hadn't fumbled on the goaline or the PA in the 3rd qtr on O-T-I-S.
Pats wern't outclassed that game. Monday night they were...
When it comes playoff time, any team could potentially beat Indy. I'm still hoping the cards unfold such that Pittsburgh goes to Indy to beat them, then comes to Foxboro to lose to us.I'd agree with your assessment of the AFC. We're the only team who could beat Indy, which says a lot about Indy since we couldn't stop them last game.

If you looked at the box scores without knowing the game scores, you would think the Saints game was much, much closer than that Rams game. The total yardage from that night was 482 to 230 compared to the Saints with 480 to 366. IIRC, the Rams took possession with something like 7 minutes left and never gave it back, finally taking a knee deep in Patriots territory.
They never really had a chance to win late in that game. The final score may have been 7 points but the outcome was never really in doubt.So since 2001 this team has gone from giving up huge yards/stats but still playing close and having a chance to win late in games, to putting up huge stats and getting blown out in 2009? Got it.
