which I sincerely doubt.
The Pats need to win the next 12 games to go 16-0, and your post sounds like if they did, it would be without resting regulars because they can't win with their backups.wow aren't you clever? I think you know that I was referring to the media diarrhea about the 16-0 record by the '72 fins in the same season, and I never said they CAN'T do it.
The once won the last 13 games of the year AND won the superbowl, so obviously winning the next 12 games does NOT preclude their winning the superbowl.
Nothing is un-Belichickian. Resting players, like everything else, is situational football. If it appears the best thing to do he will play his guys. If they aren't playing as well as he'd like, if the last couple games were too close, if their third down defense has been horrible but the offense was bailing them out, if the offense couldn;t get started and theiy were winning 3-0 or 6-3, or if for any reason he thinks important, he will not rest players.
Some of us have learned to stop saying, "BB will never ..."
The title of your thread is "I Hope the PATs Don't Go 16-0" and the only way you can do that is to hope they lose a game.
I hope the Patriots disappoint you and go 19-0, because 19-0 is what I hope they do.
