Remember the colts 13-3 season in 05, but they lost in the playoffs. They came back to win it all in 06 after an 11-5 season. Pitt. was 14-2 in 04, yet won the super bowl in 05 after an 11-5 wild card run. San Diego recently bounced back & won 2 playoff games after losing in the first round last year w/a 14-2 record.

Anyone notice a pattern here the last few years? It seems that teams w/the top records haven't fared that well in the playoffs, maybe the pressure & expectations are too high?

I see NE bouncing back & having another solid year, though there's no way we'll be talking about a perfect season. I could see them back in the super bowl.
