Wow, what a game yesterday. I was more excited to watch the Patriots - Chargers game yesterday than any playoff game since Super Bowl XXXVI against the Rams. The 2003 and 2004 Patriots teams were simply better than everyone else and winning Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX just felt like the natural conclusion to those seasons.
The 2006 Patriots don't feel like a team of destiny. The Patriots clearly have the pedigree and tradition of winning that helps a team to win close games late in the season and in the playoffs. They simply weren't overwhelming or dominating at any point this year. The defense quietly set a new franchise record for fewest points allowed in a season but never seemed to take over games or force many turnovers or sacks. Brady has a bunch of no name receivers and has had some uncharacteristically bad games this year. All in all, it's been a weird season. I hope it ends with a victory.
