Patriots fans are already calling this the greatest team ever, while the Cowboy faithful appears to be forgetful and thinks nothing special. The truth is in between the two with a strong lean toward the former. This team is really, really good and has had one of the greatest starts of all time.
Michael Wilbon dances with the thought of an undefeated season today:
"No team has ever gone 16-0 in the regular season for the simple reason that it's too difficult. The bet here is it will prove too difficult for the Patriots, too. The fun, nevertheless, is in watching a team that's talented enough, well coached enough, resourceful enough, even ruthless enough to make us think as October turns to November that perfection is possible."
However, the Patriots will lose this season. Injuries will happen. Sammy Morris gone for 4 weeks will hurt (never thought I'd say that), the ball will bounce the other way. It's the NFL. The 138 point differential is astounding, no doubt, but keeping this level going for 16 weeks is impossible regardless of how talented and cohesive a team may appear after 6 weeks.
When will the Pats lose?
