I don’t remember all of the specifics, but didn’t the Dolphins face only losing opponents during their run?
Certainly they didn’t beat the same relative caliber of opponents. . .
Yeah, Spygate was terrible, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t have any significant impact on the Pats record.
I’m not a Pats fan, but even I can recognize this.
And if they did only one thing this year at least they shut the Dolphin’s the hell up. We can go forward knowing that we won’t be facing potential champagne corks every time a team goes 3-0 and loses their fourth. . . Ugh.
I just wish the Fish had lost that one game for another “perfect” season this year. The irony would have been almost unbearable.
I have no love for the Pats, but I agree. The arrogance of the Dolphins was ridiculous. Glad it is over.
Now you are just being mean. :-)
But, in the Irony Department, what was the last regular season opponent that the New England Patriots lost to before having a perfect regular season record?
