I think it's interesting how people (mainly those in the media) continually refer to the Pats 2007 season as being so great. Do they remember only what happened up until the middle of January and forget the SB? Everyone on the team, and everyone in the media, said all season long that going 16-0 would be fine and dandy, but that it wouldn't mean squat if they didn't win the SB. Well, guess what!
Maybe when Tom Brady was laughing under his breath at the notion that the offense would score "only 23 points" during the pre-SB interviews, he and all of the media remained in la-la land that they were unbeatable. The 2007 Patsies got beyotch slapped in front of the world by an overachieving underdog. Why people seem to forget or minimize this little piece of information is beyond me.
