EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- With one mighty heave, Tom Brady and Randy Moss took care of the record books. Now it's down to business for the unbeaten New England Patriots: stamping themselves as the greatest team in NFL history.

The Patriots completed a perfect if somewhat joyless journey through the regular season Saturday night, finishing with a remarkable 16-0 record following a thrilling 38-35 comeback victory over the New York Giants.

New England became the first NFL team since the 1972 Dolphins to win every game on the schedule, and that one was only 14-0. This victory required a comeback from a 12-point deficit engineered by the brilliant Brady, and smashed the Patriots' league mark for consecutive victories.

Validation of their inexorable march through the season can only come by adding a Super Bowl championship, their fourth of the decade. Do that and there'll be no challenge to their spot at the top.

Whooo Smile

Undefeated, first team in NFL history to go 16-0. Brady and Moss both broke records (TD Passes and TD Catches for single season). Best team in NFL history, no doubt. Brady and Moss are the best QB and WR pair ever. Now it's time to go on and win the Superbowl Very Happy

Can't wait. It'll be the 4th Superbowl win in 7 years. Best team in Patriots history and best team in NFL history.

cheating does get you ahead in life after all
i doubt they make it to the super bowl. they are looking less and less productive each week since they got caught. The old guys are looking real tattered as well. to think they can win...what 3 more games... is a bit of stretch, i dont think they will win the AFC championship.
it will be fun to watch the playoffs.

They supposedly cheated one game...the first game. They would have won anyways. They played and won 15 other games without cheating.

They won't have to worry about the teams like the Ravens or Eagles which were the only two teams that gave them problems. No team will challenge the Pats except the Colts. And the Patriots will be at home against the Colts in the AFC Championship game. I would bet you anything they are going all the way since no other team could beat them and they have played extremely tough teams such as the Colts, Cowboys, Steelers, and San Diego. You must not watch the NFL much to think the Patriots aren't the best team ever, or to think they won't win thr Superbowl. There will be no * near their name in the record book. They have played by the rules this season and they went undefeated. I understandyour biterness...most people are a little mad about their home teams getting dominated by the Patriots.

not true, BilleHACK kept all of the film on teams calls and that is why he was fined.
but as teams created new calls (takes lots of time) games got closer....its all moot anyway, it will always be 16 with an * like Bonds in baseball.
Little piece of Pats trivia for you....many many moons ago Joe Paternio was offered twice to become HC. The second offer would have made him the highest paid NFL pro coach in history at 2 million a year. In addition to the lofty salery he would have received and unheard of 8% share of ownership in the Franchise. 8% would now be worth $80,000,000.00 dollars....what is Joes pay right now with Pennstate you ask...the same it has been since that offer 250k and a few years ago he donated 4 million to the University library.

Have to wonder, if joe had been in the drivers seat if he would have them out of obscurity decades ago?

oh well its a new season now and the playoffs are upon them, time to see who the best is.

Personally, I don't like what the Patriots did. Especially since they've been my second favorite NFL team for a long time, right behind the Cowboys, but, it's been awhile since this came out and I'm sure teams have had lots of time to adjust. Because of this, and because the Pats still got to 16-0, it's a great possibility that they will once again be NFL champions. They can do it on skill alone. They've got the best quarterback in the league right now along with the best offensive line.....and their defense is at least in the top three in the league, if not the best there also. They'll go all the way, but, I hope the Cowboys knock them off.

I love football.... too bad Americans had to go ruin a great sport by calling it Soccer and making all North Americans think that that sport with the throwing and the catching and the men in tights smacking butts is really football...sacrelige.
