Even if the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants they still shouldn't be considered one of the greatest teams of all time. They don't even compare to teams like the Bears and Niners of the 80's. The '72 Dolphins or the Steelers in the 70's. This team is the '99 Rams. That's it. Yes they broke all these offensive records, but so did those '99 Rams. Hell, the '99 Rams are a better football team because THEY were world champs. They didn't get upset. If the Rams' division was as weak as New England's was this year they would have been undefeated too. Not ONE team in the AFC East had a winning record except for the Patriots. The Giants were undefeated against the other teams in that division too. If the Patriots were in ANY other division they would have had at least one loss. That's why I think the Giants had the edge in this game. Even though the Patriots beat every team from the NFC East, they only had to play them once. A backup QB in Philly SHOULD have beat them. The NFC East produced THREE play-off teams. The AFC East, just the Pats. This team shouldn't be remembered as one of the greatest ever. It should be remembered as the most overrated team in NFL history. Not in the sense that they weren't great, just every one blew them up to be this God-like team, which they weren't.
Oh yeah the new slogan: 18-1. The Giants are Super Bowl Champs, how's that for PERFECT.
Another #### ? You don't know anything.
If you're one of those "morons" that thinks this Pats team was the "greatest team ever" what does that make the Giants since they are the Super Bowl champs ?
This team has nothing on the 85 Bears an 18-1 team that DOMINATED in the play-offs and ended up champs, not chumps.
Stats mean nothing without a championship when going for "perfection".
Who remembers the Mariners that broke the MLB win record as one of the greatest teams of all time ? No one.
No question, you have to finish the deal to be considered great. Pats fans can argue that they are the greatest single season professional team to NOT win a championship. They played in a lousy division BUT, they did beat 7 playoff teams (Colts, Jags, Chargers, Steelers, Cowboys, Giants, Redskins). That will have to be their 2007 legacy.
Man, that is a great point to remember, that a decent defense and A.J. Feeley almost beat this team. Did everyone want to believe that a good defense and Eli couldn't do it?
I write my opinion like I'm chatting with my friends .I'm a college student. I go to the University at Albany. I'm a Psychology major as of now, and I'm not looking to spark a career off this blog. I just want to have some fun with this. I'm 20 years old. I'm from New York but I've only been a homer for the Giants during my life. Not too big on any other New York team except I'll jump on the Knicks bandwagon if they're doing good. I'm a big fan of the Lakers and Chargers. Other then UAlbany sports I'm a big fan of USC football and basketball. I'm a sucker for players though. I'll route for teams based on their superstars alone, especially when my teams aren't doing well. I try my best not to be bias with my opinion and I hope you enjoy my writing.
