I'm a bit worried about this team going into the last week. yes, they are 15-0. but that doesnt mean you can just give them a free pass. we still have to be analytical. these past few weeks, going all the way back to the eagles game, they havent looked like the same team we saw early in the year. the past 2 weeks in particular, have gotten me the most concerned. they barely came out on top against the jets, a very weak team. and right when you think they gonna come out here and destroy the dolphins, they only play 30 minutes of good football against the worst team in football. in the 2nd half, they were simply chasing records. now, you'll probably say "o, but the game was already rapped up" and all that crap. but is that patriot football? is that what has brought the patriots to become the premier football franchise in the NFL? not at all. throwing to moss in double and mostly triple coverage wont get the patriots ANYWHERE in the playoffs.
now, i am really hoping that they were struggling against the jets and dolphins because they are tough divisional foes.
this game saturday, they should DESTROY the giants. the giants are awful. plainly put. once trouble strikes, they roll up in a ball. that said, i really hope they come out and blow the giants away. they need to be playing their best football going into the playoffs. of late, they havent being doing that.
sure, records are great. but im just putting this out there, if they go 16-0, and LOSE in the playoffs, those records will mean NOTHING. so, sure its nice to stick it to don shula and company, but all that matters is the super bowl.
