In a matter of 60 minutes the Patriots went from being discussed among the Greatest Teams in NFL history to being discussed among the Greatest Teams to not win a Super Bowl ring. It is amazing that we are now having this discussion about a team that has known nothing but post season success the last seven seasons. This is a discussion we would expect to have about Dan Marino’s Dolphins or Peyton Manning’s Colts, not Tom Brady and the invincible Patriots.
I have charted the Patriots the entire season. I ranked their 6-0 start and their 12-0 start. Both were in the top-5 since 1960. I saw no reason to talk about their 16-0 start as it was obviously the best in NFL history. Now we get to rank their historic demise and not their historic achievement. Where do the 2007 Patriots rank among the best single season teams not to win a title?
