big deal they played the 49ers early when they were a mess and az didn't even show up
so they were 7-5 the rest of the way , 2-0 against the bills , basically a .500 team against the others
they couldn't beat Pitt , Sd or Ind
their 3 wins in confernce were against KC , Den and Oak
If they had to play the NFC east they would have been 8-8 or 9-7 at best just another mediocre team in the NFL
they caught an easy sechdule , to get to 11 wins so they weren't really that good , better get Brady back for next year
ok....so they were not "that good"...who the hell is right now?? the Pats could beat any team that is in the postseason...they have won 5 of 6 and are probably one of the top 3 offenses in the NFL right now....they did not end their season like the broncos, buccaneers, jets or bears...they ended their season playing very, very well, they were WINNING GAMES and clicking at the right time...the Pats would have been one of the most dangerous teams to play in the postseason right now IMO...their defense was shaky, but with their coaching experiance and the way Cassel came on this year i'm willing to bet they would be one of the top teams others would not want to face right now.
look at the "playoff" teams playing this coming weekend....the dolphins, chargers, colts, ravens, cards, vikings, falcons and eagles....give me a fking break, the only team in that group i'd say might be convincingly better then NE right now is maybe INDY, a team and their coach and QB we have taken great pleasure in beating in the past, along with san diego....and we came one jabar gaffney dropped pass from beating INDY a few weeks back....
who cares about the schedule, they still went 11-5 and for the first time in like 25 years an 11-5 team is not in the playoffs....the NFC east?? are u serious?? yeah those NFC east teams are something to worry about ....yeah those cowboys, redskins and eagles would just walk all over the Pats....gimme a break...the Giants are one of the NFL's elite, but the rest of them?? c'mon.
