Expectations exceed difficult
January 15, 2008
Undefeated Regular Season
The Greatest Offensive Team Ever
The superlatives are nearly running out. What else can you say about this team? They have blown people out, they have won the close games, they have played defense, scored on offensive and made special team plays. They are wonderfully coached, extremely well prepared, incredibly motivated, and have exceeded every expectation put on them.
However, is it all fair? Are these expectations to high for any team to handle from August through February?
Some may say yes, but this team has truly coined the phrase "you made your bed, now lay in it". With all of the additions they made prior to the season it was almost impossible to not see something great coming. With in my mind the greatest quarterback in the history of football leading the charge, this team does look invincible.
As a fan of the New England Patriots, I have gladly taken on this burden of being undefeated. And yes, it is a burden. It makes each game that much more stressful and hard to watch. It's a high risk and great reward. Kind of like the Randy Moss signing huh?
So these expectations are enormous. Everyone in the country is sitting and waiting to see just how this team finished the season.
Will it be ended this weekend at the hands of the hated Chargers? Friendly Foe Giants? Or the Favre lead Packers?
I expect 19-0. I'm sure the team does too.
