I don't think the Patriots should be labeled "perfect" just yet -- a caption they have received over at NFL.com.
In order to be perfect and match the Miami Dolphins, they'll need to win throughout the playoffs and then win the Super Bowl. And what, the fact that Belichek cheated doesn't even make a difference anymore? The Patriots are really just lucky -- they got a few calls in their favor against Baltimore (a game that, in the opinions of many, the Patriots would have lost if not for a little assistance from officials).
I'm no Patriots fan but I won't be able to deny the record. But first, they are going to need to win the Super Bowl.
