These are the "other" New England Patriots.
The Patriots that:
-only opens the playbook enough to win
-a touchdown would be nice but a field goal will do
-don't blow teams out
-wins by solid defense
-makes opposing teams think the best team didn't win
-doesn't look like a dynasty
-beats you using role players like Kevin Faulk and lunchpail players like Ray Ventrone
-opposing fans think are lucky, or get all the breaks, or have the refs in their pocket
-invests more in special teams
-wins with team depth,absorbing injuries and patiently wearing down the other teams
-forces the other team to play mistake free, disiplined ball (which they can't)
-makes that game winning clutch play
These are the Patriots the opposing fans, ignorant pundits, and superficial talking heads don't get it and never will.
The one where the opposition feels they were one interception, goal line stand, holding call away from winning...
This is the team that in past years gave us ulcers as they squeeked out a win each week and made us beg for "just one blowout".
You know BB is smiling inside and loving every minute of it....we should too.
