Undefeated?

With only a few games left in the regular season, the New England Patriots are still undefeated. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Patriots fan at all. Even still, you can't argue what is obviously true: the Pats are the real deal. The last 2 games against the Eagles and the Ravens were not as dominating of victories as they have had all season, but they are still victories. New England's offense is just too good for any of the other teams to compete. It is pretty much unfair, because they have so many weapons to deal with. Between Randy Moss, Dante Stallworth, and Wes Welker their receiving core is one of the best in the league. It also happens to compliment one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Tom Brady. He is on pace this season to break NFL single season passing records. So far this season alone, he has thrown for 45 touchdowns and 4,095 yards. His quarterback rating at this point is 123.5, which is 20 points higher than the second league leader. On the defensive side of the ball, Rodney Harrison and Mike Vrable continue to perform well for the Patriots. Even if the defense does not play well, they still score nearly 40 points a game making it hard for other teams to keep up. So as much as I hope it does not happen, it probably will. A perfect season and another super bowl do not seem to be too far in the future for the New England Patriots.
