What I mean by Bandwagon is only in reference of people thinking the Pats will repeat the 72' Dolphins feat. Nothing more .. I do not mean people are all of a sudden becoming Fans of the Pats.
Sorry if you all misinterpreted my statement.
The one interesting thing I've noticed is the Pats are certainly one of the luckiest Teams this Season. I can say from my observation that three games should have ended with a Pats loss only to be foiled by unnecessary errors in the final moments of the game.
The Colts had them all but wrapped up so much so that I went away from the Set and did some stuff around the house thinking I'd come back later to listen to Peyton & Company talking about how they executed their plays to victory.
The Eagles (of all Teams - sorry BB) was just about to be Crowned when the curtain came crashing down in the final seconds of the game.
And then the Ravens .. what happened there? All they had to do is run out the Clock and they would have had it. But from what I witnessed, the Pats didn't win this game, the Ravens lost it.
Right now, had there not been totally unnecessary errors & game effecting penalties, the Pats should be 9-3 by all accounts. And I'd have to say if they continue to play as they have been, I'm not so certain they will make it to the Super Bowl. Simply because they walked away with a win isn't indicative of them being the best Team in the League. I know, it's hard to argue against it with a 12-0 record but actually as pointed out, there have been many of their games where they squeaked through in the end, not necessarily dominating the other Team.
Even the game against my Boyz, we had our chances all the way until the 4th Qtr. when we self-destructed.
Everyone talks of the vast weapons Tom has in is air & ground game and much of that is true but for 3 Qtrs, the afore mentioned Teams held them in check.
