The Worst 18-1 Team of All Time

Turns out the two week layoff wasn’t a momentum-killer for the Giants after all.
Instead it became an incubating period for the Patriots’ ever-increasing false sense of inevitability. As I had predicted and hoped, the Patsies looked sluggish and over-confident throughout the game. Yes it was the same old Pats at first but as the game went on, it became clear that they had taken the whole “showing up is half the battle” anecdote a bit too literally. I guess they forgot that that the other team shows up too and the Giants showed up pissed off and ready. Brady’s “We are only going to score 17 points?” line now belongs in the All Time Worst Egg in Your Face Comments Hall of Fame. Two weeks ago, everyone was anointing the Patriots the Super Bowl champions and now they are the worst 18-1 team in football history and staring SpyGate 2.0 square in the face. What a turn of events!
