The Belichick era Patriots have defeated 31 of 32 teams in the league

They did beat the Broncos during the 2003 reg season.

Remember the intentional safety?

He's saying the Patriots beat themselves in that game so they have in fact beaten 31 out of 32 teams. It's sort of a semi serious joke.

Redskins, correct?

I remember Graham dropping the pass against Spurrier's Redskins team (the last team they lost to before the 21 game streak, if I remember), and then Weis calling a draw to Larry Centers from the shotgun on a 3rd and 8. Headscratcher.

I was actually at that game. That was the last lost before the 21 straight I believe. All I remember is that Spurrior threw 3 times with less than 2 minutes in the 4th when we were out of time outs. Basically thought he could throw for a 1st instead of running out the clock (or close to it) - and basically punted from his own endzone - we had a chance to get it done - just didn't happen.

I know that you are referring to the Washington Redskins, but you mean 30 out of 31 teams as the Pats have not beaten the Patriots either.

I don't know about that. Did you see the Miami game in December?

Mmmmmm, the Dolphins soundly beat the Patriots in that game. In the Denver playoff game the Patriots just committed suicide.

Actually, your headline is pretty funny: If we've beaten 31 of 32 teams under BB and haven't defeated the 'skins, that means we've beaten ourselves. Which makes sense, I guess.

Yeah, we beat ourselves in a couple of games

I don't know about that. Did you see the Miami game in December?

Didn't we get pounded 21-0? The Fish opened up a can of whoop-***** on us. Here it is we jump all over people that say the Rams beat themselves in SB 36, but you want say the Pats beat themselves in a 21-0 loss to the Fish? That's like saying the Packers beat themselves when we were the beneficiary of the 35-0 victory in November.

This has become one of those little known facts that everyone knows. Nothing personal...
