I see the point, but I also see going 16-0 as akin to having a perfect game in baseball: skill's a huge requirement, but luck plays a big factor too. If we reran that season with the exact same teams, I can easily see them dropping two or three games. They had, what, four or five games decided by three points or less? They also had roundly-terrible division opponents (4-12 Jets, 7-9 Bills, 1-15 Dolphins), which made for six more-or-less gimme games.

None of this is to detract from their accomplishment: it's near historic for a reason. But they were a bad break or lucky play away from dropping some of those games, just like many teams are on any given Sunday.

The only close games were the Ravens and the Giants in the regular season. Everything else was a blowout or close to one. I admit that we were lucky to beat the Ravens and the only reason we did was because the coaches called a horrible timeout. The Giants though was all Tom Brady throwing incredible deep passes and bringing the team back from being down.

The only superstar brady has ever had at reciever was Moss and he only came to the team late in his career. Everyone else has been no names that Brady made good with his amazing passes.

Stop acting like Brady had nothing to do with the Patriots success.
