18-1

Ha! I don't believe the adage "cheaters never win" applies here, because the Patriots won 18 times this year, but given that they'd make the playoffs and even that they'd win 18 times, I couldn't have scripted it better than a loss in the Super Bowl.
The last three QBs to win the Super Bowl are named Roethlisberger and Manning, and two of them are from the same draft.
Screw the Patriots. For one day, most of the country were Giants fans. You could even hear it in the stadium.
The 70s Steelers were voted the best dynasty of all time with 29%. The Patriots finished last with 14%. San Francisco and Dallas had 21 and 17% each, I think - though that leaves a big chunk of votes unaccounted.

Belichick's inability to stay on the field until time officially expired shows what type of guy he is.

I saw it put this way somewhere: Belichick forced several other coaches to watch their teams continually get humiliated by three, four, five TD scores, yet couldn't stomach literally a single second of defeat himself.
