Do you think they'll go perfect or be stopped?
My personal opinion is that someone will knock them down- they pretty much lost to the Ravens, but were able to get the win through poor officiating, and horrible, horrible decisions by the Ravens (nice timeout!).

Honestly, despite being from around Pittsburgh(and putting my faith in the Steelers), I don't see any of the Patriots' last 4 opponents beating them. Baltimore put them through the ringer basically, and, IMO, had that timeout not been called, the game would have been over. Baltimore seemed like they had the will to topple the Pats, but poor calls/playing(resulting in the penalties) negated that aspect.
The Steelers, despite being 9-3, don't really stand a chance to me, and I'm a fan! Considering that they lost to the Jets, I don't think they can match the Patriots. Sure, it might not be an utter blowout, but I don't see it being as close as the past two games against the Ravens and the Eagles.
The only other team in the Pats' schedule which will hold a chance is the Giants, and I don't see them winning, just looking at their shaky performance against the Bears this weekend.

Last night was definitely one of the ugliest football finishes I've ever seen, but I don't think the Patriots will play like that any of their remaining games.

It's unlikely that they'll lose, but I can only hope they blow at least one of their remaining games be it regular or postseason.

We operate a large kitten farm in Texas, providing thousands of domestic felines for release into urban areas each month. We rely on the freshness of Tuscan Milk, as our kittens will not drink anything less. During the Italian milk drought of '03 we lost hundreds of puss, because the kittens refused to drink anything but Tuscan Whole. Thankfully Tuscan also produces their Fresh Powdered line, which is canned at the teats of elderly bovine. Thanks to the Italians, Texas streets will always have plenty of healthy long-haired puss for stroking. A+++ Will do business again!!! |

Let me put it this way:
I'm giddy thinking of Sunday, and what the Patriots are going to do to the Jets. Karma's a bitch, and if they hit triple digits, I'll smile.
And this is coming from a JETS fan.

I don't care for the Patriots at all, but for almost all of this season they've been annihilating opponents (both good and bad) by significant margins. The biggest chance they have of losing is when they play the Colts in the AFC title game. Other than that, I don't know if there's a matchup in their future that they need to be overly worried about.
Of course, if the 14-0 Pats lose to the 0-14 Dolphins in a few weeks, it will be epic lulz.

Don't count out the Giants. If the Giants have any importance to attach to their game with the Pats, they're going to come out flying, and the Pats - if they're smart - won't be playing the first team much.

Not only that. It's the Dolphins that have the tendency to kill dreams of perfect seasons. I'm fairly sure I don't need to remind anyone of the Bears game on Monday Night Football back in the '80s (though the exact year escapes me). Or the Bears game just last year. So yeah, they've done a decent job of making sure they're the only team to ever have an undefeated season and win the Super Bowl. Though I doubt it'll happen here. And this is coming from a Dolphins fan. The last thing I want to see is a team go undefeated and win the Super Bowl while the Dolphins go winless in the exact same season, but it's a very real and likely possibility. |

Well odds are that the Giants will be resting their starters, since I believe they will have sown up the #5 seed by that time. And I also think that Belichick will still be implimenting his 'scorched earth' policy. And the game today was kind of meh. I was looking forward to watching the Jets get dismantled, but not only was the game not shown locally (I got to watch the Browns vs Bills vs Mother Nature game instead), it was actually close. Though the weather was not exactly favorable to a high scoring game. Also, Dolphins aren't winless anymore. Kinda takes some of the irony out of the game next week, but I'll still be looking forward to it. |

Well, now they've completely made history. The first team to have a perfect, undefeated regular season, the most points in a regular season, and two single-season TD records from their prolific QB Tom Brady and WR Randy Moss, the Patriots are, without question in my mind, one of the best football teams in NFL history. I'm not even really a fan of the team; yet, I can't help but acknowledge what it is they are doing. No matter how they finish this year, they will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the greats. I'm hoping that Brett Favre gets his chance against them in the Super Bowl this year. How magical would that be...
