Do the Pats go down as perfect if they lose in the playoffs?

I heard on one of the pregame shows yesterday that since the NFL started way back in the day there have been 3 teams that have gone undefeated in the regular season and 2 of those lost in the playoffs.

I cant see NE losing in the playoffs as they cruised pretty easily to that 16-0 record.

One of them (the Bears) lost to the Redskins in the championship, another one that won (72 Dolphins) beat the Redskins. So, could we meet the Patriots for #4 and make history again? Stay tuned.

Well, they did not cruise through the end of their schedule. They almost lost to Baltimore, Philly and the Giants. I think they exposed something that others will be intently looking at...and I hope / pray that they lose in the playoffs.

I think because the early games were so easy when they had to actually play a little it looked like they were struggling.
