The Patriots may never lose again in their history after Brett Favre storybook ends his career in XLII. But the game with the Jags game was the closest any team will get to New England. They just put too much on the table for Jacksonville to deal with. Watch Randy Moss with double coverage, but leave open Stallworth and Welker for short passes that have lots of YAC. Garrard attacked the Pats defense well except for his fumble and the pick. Otherwise, he was the model of how to play the Pats...in the 1st half. Belicheck obviously was prepared to make a half-time adjustment that made Garrard ineffective in the 2nd half. And the running game never got going, leading the Jags to rely heavily on Garrard's arm.
The Jaguars should be looking forward to next year. Their D is good enough to definitely increase their wins next year, but for now, it's the Patriots' time. And Tom Brady is still a choke in my heart.
