We're still perfect, and we are not even at 60% of our maximum!

When I look at this team and compare it to other historical teams that have gone perfect for this long into the season, the thing that really separates us from them is we are getting better every week.  Our star guys, Cam, Luke, TD, Norman, Stew, etc., I feel all of them still haven't played their best game.  In other words, they haven't maxed out.  Most of our earlier games this season were close at times.  Yet now we are consistently starting to pull away.

So think back to the Patriots perfect bid in 2007.  Early on they were blowing teams out of the water.  Brady and Moss was tearing it up left and right.  However later in that same season, they started to struggle a bit, to where even the Kyle Boller led Ravens almost won against them.  They seemed to tired down late in that year.  I'm seeing the exact opposite with us.  It could be when you compare the two teams, New England had a lot of guys in the twilight of their careers, particularly on the defensive side. (Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel)  In any case, I don't see our guys tiring down one bit, but in fact getting better by leaps and bounds.  Also just keep in mind, CJ and Norwell have been out with injuries.  Two key contributors to our lines, where the battle begins.  Just imagine what we will do once they come back, AND EVEN THEN, in the overall perspective, we still won't be at our maximum potential.  It really sucks KB got hurt at the beginning of our season.  Yet next year when we have a full roster, plus G-man working his draft/free agency magic, this team will be an absolute terror the rest of the league have never witnessed.
