It's been a long seventeen weeks, but when all was said and done the Patriots proved to not only be in Mercury Morris' neighborhood, but they're eating dinner with his wife and kids after winning their sixteenth game on Sunday and becoming the first team since Morris' 1972 Dolphins to go undefeated in the regular season. Of course, those 'Phins only had to play a fourteen game schedule, but then again they did win the Superbowl that year. The Patriots have a fine history in the playoffs this decade, but they haven't done anything yet in this post-season.

Or will they be seen as a failure if they don't go all the way. Let us know! You can find the poll to your right directly underneath our "Contributors Wanted" section. Click away!
