Everybody wins! Well, except the Giants, unless this 38-35 loss is somehow a “moral” victory. It was fun for the fans, every network will have monster ratings, and with the exception of possibly two injuries (to the Giants, natch), both teams will head into the postseason healthy. If you care about this kind of thing … this was the fourth time in five weeks the Patriots didn’t cover.

So for the first time in 35 years, the NFL has a team that steamrolled through the regular season unbeaten. No need for us to go into the back-to-back passes to Moss, the horrific Giants secondary, New York’s inability to keep tabs on little Wes Welker, or the fact that a bearded ad giddy Tom Brady gets to go bang Gisele tonight. The Pats kind of remind us of the bad robot in T2 that you just can’t kill. In a word, the offense is relentless, and the Jags and Colts better pray for a blizzard, because that’s the only way to slow down this machine.
