Undefeated VS. Perfection


There is talk about the Patriots having the Perfect Season, but Coach Bill Belichick has repeatedly said there is no such thing as a perfect game and has been quick to keep his team humble via humble pie!

RB Kevin Faulk:
"He comes in every week and lets us know pretty much straightforward the mistakes that we've made, the things that we've done as a team that we have to correct," said Faulk. "And it's legitimate stuff where you really have to be like, 'Wow, if we play like this next week, we're going to lose.' "

CB Ellis Hobbs:
"That's why he's our leader," cornerback Ellis Hobbs said recently. "That's why he's our coach, because he shows us this is how you win. This is how you go into the next game. The whole just kind of distasteful looks he gives is just a sense of being focused, and that he's staying focused on the task at hand."

QB Tom Brady:
"I really feel you can have a perfect record. I don't know if anybody's perfect," said quarterback Tom Brady. "I haven't experienced that. We all make mistakes, and we all try to learn from them and try to work hard to achieve [our] goals."

My Take: 16 – 0 will be nice, but without a Super Bowl win on top, it will just end up being another footnote in the history of the National Football League.
