I think you're exactly right. Raises the idea of 'professional team' to another level. This has to mean really exceptional coaching. Randy Moss's experience in NE is a prime example.

The two passes to Moss show a confidence that can only come from knowing that you can focus when it really counts - and that means playing every minute, every down, every time.

I hope they go the distance. This is the best football I've ever seen.

There's a reason why QBs like McNabb are sucking wind in the 4th quarter of games, a reason why the KC Chiefs have blown a ton of 2nd half leads....and why the Pats are so strong late in the game. Bill B. trained them to be 60-minute men.

>I am neutral on New England, I neither root for nor against them. (I'd love to see a Jax/GB Super Bowl!) But I appreciate what we're seeing - perhaps the greatest single-season of any NFL team, ever. This is certainly the SMARTEST team I've ever seen.
