If it is achieved then I will be ecstatic. But if not, it will be the worst season we ever had.<BR/><BR/>Who besides Patriots fans remember that in 1990 their record was 1-15? But who will forget the 16-0 team that lost in the playoffs or Super Bowl? No one. During the Ravens game I experienced something almost bizarre to admit. When on fourth and one the Pats got stuffed, effectively ending the game and their quest for a perfect season, I felt a momentary relief. "Ah, it's over. Now we can play for the title." Then time stopped and the refs said a timeout had been called and the play didn't count. I never thought I'd say it, but I was disappointed. I wanted it to be over. Minnesota and Pittsburgh both lost in the playoffs after 15-1 seasons and no one cares. But perfection followed by failure? It's unforgettable.<BR/><BR/>I'd much rather be in your shoes right now.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.com
