What goes around comes around

Oh what a sweet feeling it is to watch the Pats go down in the only game that mattered! Nobody will remember this team 5 years from now, and this season is essentially meaningless. Were they the greatest team ever assembled? No, I don't think so, because they didn't win the big one, and secondly, because they had no class in winning. Constantly week after week, Belibitch ran up the score on hapless, overmatched opponents (yes that includes the Bills), scoring like they were USC playing Dartmouth. In college football, it's ok to run up the score, in fact, encouraged, as strength of schedule and margin of victory are key to climbing the BSC ladder. But in the NFL, not so much.
Now, the fact that the Pats were able to run up the score, in itself is amazing. Their linebacking and safety core, probably juiced, are in their late 30's and probably wouldn't make many NFL rosters. That includes Bruschi, Harrison, Vrabel, etc. Now that's absurd, ur saying, THEY WENT 18-0! Yes, but you have to realize that teams had no idea how to prepare for the Patriots and their monster offense this season, but later in the season we finally saw blueprints by the Ravens, Eagles, Giants, and Giants again, this time succesfully, on how to beat their video game system. The Patriots rely on the short passing game, with Welker and Benjamin Watson key in picking up those quick routes and short gaines. The fact that Wes Welker had more receptions than anyone this year, by a wide margin, despite falling well short in total yards (compared to Moss, Chad Johnson, T.O.), shows you how effective he was, and no team could match up with him, including the Giants, who won on hard defense and a little luck. Welker, in my opinion, is the MVP of the Patriots, not Brady, not Moss. Besides the quick routes, Brady's only other real threat was Randy Moss, who tore up defenders left and right on a weekly basis, but really just by sheer talent, as Brady's passes were always long and deep (get your mind out of the gutter) to Moss, in which Randy just jumped up and got it over mediocre corners. Moss is the best wideout in the league, better than T.O., and Brady is the best QB in the league, better than both Mannings. But the fact is The Patriots won based on their Offensive Line, which I believe is the best in history. The O-line gave Tom the time to double pump for those long passes, and time to scan the field for 20 minutes before finding Welker down the middle. I don't believe this is the best offense ever, just the best executed (Belibitch, despite being a horrible human, is a first ballot hall of famer), as the Jim Kelly Bills had a good one with Thomas and Reed, as did dozens of other teams, but the Patriots were very lucky this season to remain perfect, ironic as the Giants were lucky to outlast them in the superbowl! But their defense lost them the superbowl, as despite an all pro secondary with Asante Samuel and Ellis Hobbs, they really don't have much else to offer.
While I will always hate the Pats, it is refreshing that they were very humbled by the loss, and mature about it. If Tom Brady was playing on any other team, I would probably by a ticket to see him play, and this Patriot team is definetely one of the best in history, despite losing the big one. But I am very happy for the Giants, and Micheal Strahan, who has waited for this for a long time. Sooo, where does all of this talk lead me? Well, first of all, I think for my Bills to compete with the Pats next season, we need to draft a stud wideout to support Evans, add a playmaking tight end (funny how much sexuality is in football lingo), add a Defensive End to replace the dissapointing and indisciplined core we have, and allow Edwards to grasp the system and I have NO DOUBT we will make the playoffs, while probably not as the AFC east championship, as the Pats will own that for a cppl more years, but as a wild card.
