"But then again your math is consistent b/c for some reason you are trying to tell me that 2004 Pats that went 14-2 were better than the 2007 Pats that went 16-0. I think you might need to go back to school and take some math classes."
First of all, I never said the '04 Pats were better than the '07 Pats, though I do think their defense was a little better back then.
All I was saying is the '04 Eagles, a team that lost in the Super Bowl, were better than the '07 Giants, a team that won the Super Bowl. If the two teams could meet, the Eagles would win by double digits. Again, I acknowledge that game could only occur in fantasyland.
The best team doesn't always win the championship. You can't honestly believe the Giants, who were what, 3-5 at home, were the best team in football last season. They were the hottest team, not the best. I give you the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals as an example from another sport. They stunk all year, got hot at the right time to get their record up to mediocrity so they could qualify for the playoffs, stayed hot in the playoffs and won a title.
I think it's fairly obvious that the Pats were the best team in football last year. Unfortunately for them and their fans, they weren't the best team playing on Feb. 3 -- that was your Giants.
And I don't seem to recall the Giants "dominating" the Pats at any point in that game in the swamp in December.
yea, so the Giants were 3-5 at home...but weren't they 11-1 on the road, including 11 straight...it didn't matter if they were under .500 at home...most teams that are better at home are lousy on the road...and if I remember, the Giants were #2 on the road (behind the beloved Pats)...
it's funny how the Philly faithful are already anoiting the Eagles the team to beat...i'll give you credit, you made significant changes on D...but what guarantees do you have that all the additions you made are going to pan out and result in a division title?...also, you talk about the 04 Eagles better...that team was balance on offense and defense...until you get another weapon that McNabb can throw to (even he's calling for an addtional receiver or two), you still have much to prove...
