I don't know that I necessarily agree with that. An upset can occur in the Super Bowl or in one of the playoff games leading to the Super Bowl and they don't end up winning it. Would that take away from what they've accomplished all year? To an extent, yes. But not totally. It's not like baseball or basketball where they get a seven-game series to determine the champion and the cream always will rise. In a one-game setting, anything can happen and that's why I don't just look at who the champion is in a particular season and say that was the best team. Same as in college basketball. I don't know if you follow that sport or if you do, how far back you go but back in 1983, Houston was clearly the dominant team in the nation. But they were upset by NC St. in the championship. Same thing with Georgetown in 1985 when they were upset by Villanova. Was Duke the best team in 1991 when they beat UNLV? On the particular days, NC St., Villanova and Duke were the better teams. But if each of those games were to be rematched the following day, the losing teams would be favored again. I think NE can put a definite stamp on their claim to being the best team ever with a Super Bowl title. I also think that what they've shown they are capable of when at their best in just 10 games this season has already put them in the discussion. I personally feel that this is one of the five best teams I've ever seen, regardless of whether or not they finish the deal.

The only way the Patriots lose this season is if Belicheck keeps running up the score on everyone. One of these games the opposition is going to get pissed and start taking cheapshots. When Brady or Moss get carted off Belicheck won't look so smug, it will be his fault. The once proud Ravens defense might be embarassed enough to do it.

This aint the old NFL. The players on teams like the Ravens dont care enough to risk getting a big fine or suspension with a cheap shot on those guys.

Or even banned from the league if someone isn't smart about it. The time to do it is on a Brady interception or a defensive fumble return, but I am guessing he has eyes behind his head. There isn't many interceptions or fumbles so there will be limited opportunities

Also, back in the older days, players stayed with the same teams for long periods and built up rivalries and hatred. Nowdays, players change teams so often that many players are friends with players on the other teams because they might have been teammates just last season.
