You have to love it when you make a comment and all of a sudden someone has to come along and make it into something it isn't...
I never compared the '72 season with the Pats sched for this year... my comment was in reference in how soft the Dolphins season was in '72 and I was stating that the Pats have a couple walks in the park themselves with 6 games against a very sad sad division without the Pats. the Jets and Dolphins are 1-16, frig I'll repeat 1-16 and that Pats play them a total of 4 times. And in that post where I brought this up I was actually talking about .... the point of the post was NOT to say that the Pats have an easier schedule then the '72 Dolphins that the Shula basher's want it to be but how a team can go from one extreme from a winless Dolphins to a undefeated Colts and still manage to rise to the occasion.
The biggest hurdle for the Pats is going to be the attention and pressure that all this hype is going to generate. If thats not a heavy burden to carry imagine the drive and determination that this is going to create in their opponents by seasons end. Nothing more dangerous then facing off against a team that has nothing to loose on the worlds stage.
for the record I hope that they don't do it and the reason being is I hate that they had to cheat to beat the Jets... if it was against the Colts I wouldn't even care. But against the Jets, even on their best day the Jets couldn't beat them
