"A Chance to be a Part of Ever"

That's what Junior Seau said the Patriots will be playing for in the Superbowl. The chance to be the only team in NFL history to go 19-0 in a season. The best season in the history of NFL football. These are some smart guys on this team, who love the game and appreciate its history. They know what this means.

As for yesterday's game, what can I say? The Chargers are good, but they didn't have much chance. Their defense did pretty well, picking off Brady and containing Moss. Hat's off to their offence, especially the heroic job done by Phillip Rivers, but the Pats D really stepped it up. Bruschi, Seau, Vrabel, all of them. Keeping a good team like San Diego out of the end zone is pretty good. If the Chargers had been healthy and LT hadn't been forced to do his Darth Vader impression on the sidelines (love that helmet) they might have been a bigger challenge. Injuries are, they say, a part of the game.

Even if Brady and Moss didn't have their best days the offence was still exciting. The O-line is the best in the business, giving Brady time and making holes for Maroney. While Randy was getting double-teamed, Faulk was making some big plays. For a Pats fan, this was nothing but fun.

For now, it is off to they hype, off to the show, off to Glendale, and off to . . . Ever.
