Do you honestly think the Patriots would have won the SB had they tanked a game at the end of the 2007 season??
It's funny how many Patriot fans take that for a given. Not me!!
IMO the Patriots lost the SB not because the pressure of undefeated got to them but because they peaked too soon and played their best football before December that year.
Tanking a game at the end of '07 would have taken the edge completely off that team, a team that wasnt playing all that well at the end of that season. If BB tanks a game in 2007 I believe the Chargers would have beaten us in that very close AFC championship game.
The Patriots lost the Super Bowl because their coaching staff had to lose half their Saturday giving depositions to NFL attorneys.
