I think they went 15-1 on the season, ultimately finishing 18-1 and winning the Super Bowl.no team has every gone 15-1 and won the SB right? we might be the first
Another defensive SB ending in a 13-3 victory for the second year in a row? I wouldn’t have believed it, but I just saw the road team win all 7 World Series games.I’ll say 14-2 with losses at Philly and at Houston. Beat Jimmy G and Niners 13-3 in Super Bowl

Except for the two teams that did it, no.no team has every gone 15-1 and won the SB right?

It’s been 12 years, can he even speak anymore? Let’s not forget the previously unknown Boston sports hack that decided to write a fictional tale of a previous Super Bowl victory on the eve of the game. Who will it be this time?Do not want to see them run the table after 2007, as creepy Mercury Morris will once again be some sort of "expert" on the airwaves... as a perfect season really does not matter all that much.
See them losing at least 2 games one will be unexpected... probably not Miami.
Sorry to hear that...are you what some people might now call "differently-visioned"?I’ve seen nothing happen on the field this season that would have me expecting the patriots would lose to anyone, anywhere
We should've been 15-1 in 2004....no team has every gone 15-1 and won the SB right? we might be the first, but i'm not 100% against undefeated
you know BB wants it

Nope I am someone who is realistic.Sorry to hear that...are you what some people might now call "differently-visioned"?
We expose Jimmy G
I believe that the offense hasn't been playing as well as even their pedestrian-given-the-competition numbers indicate, and that the 8-0 start has masked a lot of its flaws, which will become exposed starting on Sunday night.Nope I am someone who is realistic.
By the way, why are you sorry to hear about how well the patriots have been playing?
So you believe based upon how they have played so far that they are expected to lose Sunday? I disagree.I believe that the offense hasn't been playing as well as even their pedestrian-given-the-competition numbers indicate, and that the 8-0 start has masked a lot of its flaws, which will become exposed starting on Sunday night.
I don't get the fear of Baltimore. Patriots are currently favored by 3-1/2 with 80% of the money going on the Patriots. Straight up, you have to wager $190 to win $100 on a Patriots victory.
Doesn't Belichick scheme to take away the primary threat of an opponent? Isn't it clear that the primary threat is the running game, more specifically Jackson's running ability? Can't most defenses stop an opponent's running game when they concentrate on that? The secondary threat is the receiving ability of the tight end.
Sure, it's not quite as simple as I make it sound in the previous paragraph, but it's not crazy difficult either.
Week after week, people keep predicting that offenses are going to score 20+ points against this Patriots' defense. (OK, I should have ignored JetsFan79's prediction.) It not only doesn't happen, hardly anyone has gotten close. Shouldn't we believe that the Patriots really will hold teams off the scoreboard? And shouldn't we believe that the highest scoring team (not just offense) in the league actually will score some points, perhaps even 20 points overall?
Anything can happen. But believing in the Ravens over this Patriots team defies what we've seen so far and what we know about Belichick, Brady and the rest of the team.
I expect that after this Sunday, the NFL will have another "aha" moment like they did after the Chargers beat the Ravens in the playoffs last year. They'll be saying, "Oh, that's how to shut down a running QB who doesn't have a lot of passing ability". Belichick will find a way; he almost always does. And not just a way to get by, but a way to dominate. That's who he is.
