with the lose of yesterday game, patriots are gone.  gone where?  well certainly not as a best team ever in NFL history.  too bad for brady, mannings brothers did not let him win another ring.  a very well deserved win by giants.  the last drive for touchdown was simply outstanding. 

yeah, 18-1 is a great record, but if they had lost on in regular season and had won superbowl it would have been great.  even 17-2, 16-3 with superbowl is a great record.  but 18-1 with no superbowl is not impressive at all.
