New England Patriots

No team has had a perfect season since 1972, when the Dolphins won all of their regular season games, all of their playoff games and the Superbowl.

Patriots have a chance this year. They have one game left in regular season.
They are playing the New York Giants. The Giants' mentality is this:
"We are pulling no punches during this matchup. We are coming with everything we got."

The Giants have a couple of things going for them.

1. They are determined.
2. They have a decent defense
3. and they will have home field advantage (that crowd is brutal)

and one thing against them:

Eli Manning.......He is not a very consistent player. He can either be a hero or he can be a zero. There is no middle ground with him. He has proved that all season long.

I am torn about this "perfect season" stuff. This could be the one and only time someone goes undefeated in my lifetime. But they are the Patriots.... and I never really liked them. Plus I like rooting for the underdog. And I kinda like the Giants, every since Lawrence Taylor played for them. But like I said earlier, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Now, if the Patriots make it to the Superbowl and lose...that would be some funny s*** right there! Unless the Cowboys are the ones that beat them. That would SUCK big time! I would have to hear Cowboy fans talking s*** for eternity. They would never let that subject die. They could be 0-16..winless! and still be talking about "Remember that year when we beat the Patriots?"
