Because they had turned it over so often in the postseason. Oh, wait... Comparing how the Patriots played in the playoffs to how the Giants were playing, I really don't see how the outcome could have been that surprising. Tom Brady had more passes intercepted in the conference title game than Manning had in the entire postseason.

Oh, please. They don't even deserve to be
mentioned
among the best teams ever. They're
barely
any better than the 1998 Vikings. The best team in the NFL walked away with the Lombardi trophy. That's the team that won three playoff games on the road against division winners. That's the team that knocked out the NFC's #2 seed and the #1 seed from both conferences, holding those teams' "big play" offenses to an average of 17 points. That's the team that played against the best their opponents had to offer, not a banged up QB on two bad knees with the league's leading rusher MIA, on the road to Arizona. New England struggled against weak competition - at home, no less - in the playoffs. They lost most of their mystique Thanksgiving weekend, when they nearly lost to the Eagles' backup QB, and followed that by nearly losing to the Raven's backup QB. Two weeks later, they found themselves struggling against the Jets.
Being "the best team" is about a lot more than having impressive stats on offense. It's about stopping the run, defending the pass, and getting to the quarterback, too. It's also about protecting your QB, not just when you're running up the score against teams in the soft AFC East, but when a championship is actually on the line. Being the best
regular season
team of all time doesn't mean a damn thing.
But you go ahead and keep thinking the "best team" lost its most important game of the season, and hopefully opposing coaches and players will share that mindset when the 2008 season begins.
