Tom Brady & the Perfect Pats
Tomorrow night at 8 the New England Patriots continue their bid for a perfect undefeated season and another Super Bowl. The Pats were the first team in NFL history to go 16 - 0, undefeated in the regular season. To win the super Bowl they must go 19 - 0. After a bye last week, Saturday night begins the Pat's playoff quest.
Tom Brady set a NFL record for touchdown passes in a season.
As a team, the Patriots set numerous NFL and team records and to peruse these records click on the following link, an awesome graphic from the Boston Globe:
The Patriots Record Book
Randy Moss led a new, improved receiving core, that included Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney, Dante Stallworth, and standbys Kevin Faulk and Ben Watson.
Randy Moss set a NFL record for touchdown receptions in a season.
The Patriots set 15 NFL records this season. They had 9 players named to the All Pro team, 5 on the first team and 4 on the second team. They are also sending 7 or 8 players to the Pro Bowl All Star game.
Wes Welker set a team record for most receptions in a season.
But football is a team game and the patriots are the best football team I have ever seen: many experts analysts agree.
Strong at every position, it may very well be the unheralded big men who play in the trenches that are most responsible for the team's success. The offensive line protects Tom Brady better than any Quarterback has ever been protected and the defensive line consistently pressures the opposing QB while the rest of the defense exerts expert coverage on receivers and running backs.
The Special Teams players are also the best in the league and consistently contribute.
And then there is the coaching staff lead by Bill Belichick about whom I heard one TV analyst say they should throw a hoody over the Lombardi Trophy and call it the Belichick Trophy from now on.
