I remember it all too well, the glory years of the Jags.

It seemed like destiny... to roll into town hot on the heels of beating the Steelers for the 2nd time in Pitt that year....

only to be beaten by the then undefeated Pats.

 

And never to sniff the post season since.

 

Yeah, as a Patriots fan, I never once even mentioned the XX-X record of that year, because the only game that counted, we didn't get the win. It's hard when you have a stat like that, but can't pull it out of your pocket ever because of the next response, "yeah, well you didn't...."

 

Doing what they did in the 2007 regular season is sooo hard. So many things have to happen, and it's not all about talent. It's luck and much more. But in looking at this Patriots schedule in 2015, outside of maybe 3 games, if they ever got to week 8 without a loss, and the defense is shored up by then, things could get interesting again. But it's such a distraction that I'd rather lose a game, then get fired up again and run the table.
