You know, too much has been focused on the Patriots having a perfect 19-0 season. The problem now is that they managed to get all the way to the Superbowl but no one cares about that. "Yeah, well anyone can get to the super bowl these days" is what you hear. But the reality is that - hey, they got to the freaking super bowl - but because of the "perfect season" crap, no one cares.
I cared. In December, I was in California watching a game with my father and brother. There was discussion about the perfect season. I was thinking about it in terms of odds and percentages and logic etc when I dared to say "maybe it would be better to lose a game now (in Dcember) than in January, when playoff loss meant immediate elimination. I mean, so? One loss? But no - the goal was perfection. I was afraid that this goal meant humiliation, and I was right.
Oh well, next year, hopefully the Patriots will only worry about winning one game - the Super Bowl.
