Wait, they actually considered that? And here I thought I was being purely theoretical. Not just considered it, they friggin' did it. It was up there for a bit, but they took it down once they were shredded by the local media and most of the fanbase. It was embarrassing

They actually did? I don't remember that. It actually sounds like something the Giants would hang up (in all fairness, it would sound like good chin music, even if it would be my chin. ) The Pats did sell "16-0" shirts. I own one.

I don't think the Giants organization would do that, especially given Belichick's own fondly remembered history with the Giants as the DC during the Parcells years, though I'm pretty sure I saw some unofficial 18-1 Giants merch in the aftermath.

It's done to hype up the team and its fans for the coming playoff game. I don't see the big deal. It'd only look bad if they were doing it well after the fact. Like they did with the AFC Finalist banner or if the Patriots hung up an 18-1 banner the season after losing Super Bowl XLII. The 18-1 banner was ridiculous. Thankfully they realized this and down it came Just for clarification, there was never an 18-1 banner. It was a 16-0 banner and it hung inside Gillette Stadium from the start of the 2008 season to the end of the 2014 season. Honestly, as I look back on it now (and given the Patriots have won two Super Bowls since then), I don't hate the idea of the 16-0 banner. It was small, tucked away in the opposite end zone of the much larger Super Bowl champion banners, and there should be some sort of acknowledgment of a 16-0 regular season. A perfect regular season is an accomplishment we've seen only twice since the AFL-NFL merger. I'm not saying it should be anywhere on par with winning a Super Bowl, but it's an achievement worth noting.

Welp, I'm going to hitch my wagon to New England again since I really have no horse in the race again (DAMN IT, GREEN BAY!) and I don't hate the Patriots.

Chargers are having a breakout season while everyone is talking about how this is one of the weaker Patriot teams in a long time.
With that, I fully expect the Patriots to destroy the Chargers by at least 3 touchdowns.

Well, that’s a bad start for the Colts.

These are some really ugly throws by Luck so far.
