Will any team ever have a 16-0 season? Once you've clinched your place in the playoffs you're not going to kill your starters for a perfect season.

Yes, you will. I'm sure Belichick would not let up when we are 13-0 or 14-0. He will push it. Not in order to finish undefeated, but to keep the team on edge.
Remember, this team had a winning streak over 20 games long. There is no, Lose Now, Win the Super Bowl mentality here.
Same thing happened with the press in 2002, when SB defending Pats rolled over Steelers and Jets to go 2-0. The undefeated talk began, but then they had trouble stopping the run v. KC in a close win, got hammered repeatedly for the rest of the year and finished 9-7 out of the playoffs.
No undefeated talk allowed!

Unless that's the quote you wanted, say if you were doing a piece on how focused Belichick is.Nice point. Also, who asked this question? After only two games, if I were a reporter covering BB I would view such an inane question as an invitation to get smacked down. It's no wonder BB has no respect for the media....if you put cardboard cutouts in a room instead of reporters, the IQ level in the room would instantly rise.

I think he would push the envelope because of his appreciation for history and it would be cool to stick it to Don Shula...
Realistically though, if they ever got to 13, the last 3 are Jets, Dolphins and Giants.
