The Patriots define the idea that it doesn't matter how you win, just find a way to win. They blow good teams out, they have ugly wins verses not-so-good teams. In the end, all that matters is that they win. It is annoying, but you gotta give them respect for it.
As I've said all year, and someone else has has brought it up recently in another thread, their style, or feel is very similar to Gibbs's Skins of 82-93....the blue-collar mentality, very few mistakes, "interchangable" players that do whatever they are asked of, etc.
This thread centers around the lack of mistakes and they are currently one of, if not the best team at minimizing them. As for calls vs. non-calls, the NFL has ALWAYS favored the better teams. It is the same as how things alway seem to go the way of the better teams. Is it just better execution or being "favored"? I believe it's a combination of the two.
