In 2007, the New England Patriots were already a dynasty and a Team of the Decade, joining the 60's Packers, 70's Steelers, the 80's 49ers, and the 90's Cowboys.
They followed that by getting a rejuvenated Randy Moss, setting incredible offensive records, and doing something that hadn't been done since 1972, going undefeated in the regular season.
Their Super Bowl opponent? The Giants, a wild card team with a wildly inconsistent quarterback, an angry coach who had picked a fight with the Giants recently-retired superstar running back, and a boatload of question marks on both sides of the ball.
How could the 2007 Patriots lose Super Bowl 42? How was it possible?
I do not hate the Patriots, and I do not mean to be sarcastic, overly negative or a troll in any way. Logically and rationally, 18-1 is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable chokes in the history of sports. I seriously cannot think of two other chokes that even compare.
New England fans earn this derision with their arrogance and braggadocio. That's also a pretty logical conclusion.
