Really NICE to have come this far...................

Seems like a forgone conclusion at this point, but
I never want to lose sight of how special and unique
THIS 2007-2008 Patriots Team is to have accomplished their Historic Campaign.

It is one thing to "look good" on paper and be expected to be this Great, and it is entirely another thing to do the day to day, week to week, and game by game completion of making it to the Super Bowl and not only making it, but WINNING IT ALL!! At the season's start everyone with half a brain picked the Pats ~ a few had the Colts~ to be the AFC Team, did anyone pick the NYG outside of the NYC metro area? Not a slam to the G-Men, just emphasizing the difficulties inherent to being called the Team of Destiny and actually becoming the Team of Destiny. CHEERS to the NE Patriots Football Organization from top to bottom for putting together what will surely be hailed as the Single Greatest Season in the History of the NFL; providing all goes well on the 3rd

!!

And to that end we bring our prognostications:

I look for Moss and Stallworth to light it up in the first half, and Maroney and Faulk to turn out the lights in the second half. If we shut down their aerial attack, EARLY enuff, then it will be up to the offense to grind out the clock late in the game. Roll on, Juggernaut, ROLL ON!

That said, Boss, Jacobs, and Bradshaw are the X factors for me, especially since we didn't see Bradshaw in game 16. The Pats always have a hard time with big and fast TE's who can catch, while Bradshaw has breakaway speed and in-the-trenches toughness that could exploit our poor tackling habits that had a way of cropping up at key points in previous games. Not that the game will hinge on one of those "plays"~not likely but possible, we just gotta be focused and aware of that weakness in our Defense. We should blow them out, but that's why they play the game!!

Sorry it took so long to get here, but what else are we gonna do it's too stinkin' COLD to go
