Last week I posted something called "Writing about the Patriots/Bray's amazingness is getting pretty redundant." I listed several impressive stats and streaks that they were on, most of which ended or became much less impressive last night. I should have seen it coming. Everyone was finally on the Pats bandwagon this week, pretty much the entire sports world was calling them the best team in the NFL. What I expected to happen to Notre Dame several weeks ago is what did happen to New England yesterday.But that's ok. After playing as badly as they possibly could for more than a half, the Patriots erased a 28 point deficit in less than a quarter against on of the best teams (and defenses) in the NFL. I had this exchange with one of the co-founders of Cosby Sweaters (and a fellow Pats fan) on facebook last night:
Me: "Not real bothered by the loss. The comeback was good enough, and now they got their crap game out of the way."
CS Mike: "Exactly. Tonight was the game they usually play on Super Bowl Sunday against the Giants. Now it's out of their system."
I think this sums up perfectly the current state of affairs in Foxboro.
