The lowly Iggles, of all teams, actually gave the Patriots a solid run for their money tonight. The Patriots have a better-than-decent shot at a perfect record, though it speaks volumes that a 24-point underdog could swoop into town -- with their backup QB, no less -- and take this Tecmo Bowl team down to the wire. Still, I think the only two teams that have a real chance at knocking the Patsies off their track are the Steelers and the Giants, and the Giants simply don't have a good enough secondary to cover effectively.
Whatever the case, it would be fun to watch New England run the table through the playoffs, and get busted by Brett Favre on the ultimate victory lap. I don't put huge odds on it, but it would be freakin' sweet.
And congrats to the Raiduhs; if I'm gonna kick 'em when they're down, I gotta give 'em props when they finally do right. And despite themselves, they did all right. A good end to a good long weekend.
