The Patriots pulled out another win on Monday night to get closer to perfection. They now stand at 12-0 on the season, and the chances of them getting to 16-0 are looking better than ever. With the exception of a fairly tough match up with Pittsburgh, the Patriots should have a pretty easy time ending the regular season undefeated. With home field advantage throughout the playoffs, it would be pretty tough for anyone to hand them a loss at all, even the Colts. Yes, the Colts played them close during the regular season, but they were at home and they were healthy. Both of these things will most likely have changed by playoff time.
I am already sick and tired of hearing people say that the Patriots are lucky to have won their last 2 games. The Eagles played alright, not amazing; they simply made very few mistakes during the game, but when it counted most, Feely threw a pick. The same could be said about the Ravens game. The Ravens ran the ball well and played pretty good defense for most of the game. The key words there were "most of the game." When it came down to it in the fourth quarter, the Ravens couldn't run and they couldn't stop the Pats, and that is why they won. The only luck that the Patriots had was a Ravens time out when they were stuffed, and a dumb rule with regards to false start. Neither of which is something they can control, so people need to stop whining about how lucky the Pats are, and start to see them as what they are-- one of the best teams in NFL history.

Yes, it is true but it seems that every team that is winning against them, always screws up in the last quarter usually throwing picks, so all in all I think that all of the other teams are beating themselves because they are basically giving them the wins do to petty mistakes.
