It is interesting that of the three teams going undefeated only the Dolphins went undefeated through out playoffs too.
Since it is so infrequent to go undefeated in the regular season, yet a SB winner happens EVERY YEAR, I think it is exceptional to go 16-0. Belichick is a football historian. He WANTS that 16-0, but would never say it.
Besides to go 19-0, you have to go 16-0, FIRST!
Belichick knows that he breaks their own record of 18 consecutive regular season victories if he beats the Giants, establishing the first and second times teams have done that in the History of the NFL. The Pats are the two teams. Further the Pats have scored the most points in the NFL and given up the fewest points. The Pats have set a 88 year record for biggest point differential of all time. Six more points and they will have scored more points than any team in the history of the NFL.
Besides if the Pats then go 19-0 they set an all time NEW 22 in a row consecutive victory streak, passing their own 21 consecutive victory record that has never been equaled in the 88 year history of the NFL.
Do it, and there is no question the PATS DYNASTY IS THE BEST DYNASTY IN THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE. THIS PARTICULAR TEAM WILL BE THE BEST TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE.
