I never thought I’d see it

I got to see something last night that I never thought I would get to see in my lifetime. A professional football team went undefeated for an entire season. 16 wins against 0 losses. Utterly amazing.
The last team to go undefeated for an entire season was the 1972 Miami Dolphins. And though the Dolphins were not the first to go undefeated, they were the first to go undefeated and win the championship.
So, adding to the ranks of perfect regular seasons is… the 2007 New England Patriots. I seriously was not sure that I would ever see that.
Try to understand that I am not a Patriots fan. I only point out their achievement because it is so significant. I mean, it hasn’t happened in 35 years, and has only happened four times in the history of the NFL. So this season was a history making season. And I got to see it. How cool is that?
Anyway, I need to go start thinking about what the playoffs are going to look like. The good thing about this seasons is that the playoffs will not be determined until tomorrow night, when Tennessee takes on Indianapolis, who will more than likely not play their starters but for a short time.
Until tomorrow, soak it all in. Something as cool as an undefeated season doesn’t come around all that often.
