WHAT BETTER TIME THAN HERE?
What better time than now? (Well, Sunday)
I would just like to remind everybody that the New England Patriots have not broken the NFL record for consecutive victories. The NFL Record and Fact Book, the football bible as far as I'm concerned, only recognizes a team's consecutive victory streak in the regular season. The playoff results are not recognized in this particular record.
Most Consecutive Games Won
17 Chicago Bears, 1933-34
16 New England, 2003-04
Chicago Bears, 1941-42
Miami, 1971-73
Miami, 1983-84
15 L.A. Chargers/San Diego, 1960-61
San Francisco, 1989-1990
As for this week's issue of Sports Illustrated, if there ever was a time for the "SI Cover Jinx" to come into effect, this Sunday would be the perfect time for it. Of course, the Seahawks are good enough on their own to beat the Patriots. It is not like they need Sports Illustrated to help them out.
Yes, this Seahawks team is good enough to win in Foxboro on Sunday. I'm so fired up for Sunday that I can barely contain myself. This is a chance for the Seahawks to eliminate some of the bad vibes from the Rams debacle.
We always talk about how the Seahawks don't get any respect. Well, the fact is, they have to win in order to get some respect. What better way to get respect than to beat the defending Super Bowl champions on their turf? In addition, prevent the Patriots from tying an NFL record.
I expect the Seahawks to use Shaun Alexander a lot on Sunday. The Patriots have struggled against the run and Alexander is arguably the best running back they have faced so far this season. Alexander seems to get up for the marquee games (i.e. games that are shown on national television). I would say that this Sunday's game is a marquee game.
Get up or get out.
BTW, I would like to invite Seahawks fans to A Large Regular, a blog from Chris Lynch, who's from the Boston area. We already have ALR linked down in the "baseball blogs" section, but I figured I would post it here as well. Hopefully for Chris' sake, the Red Sox win tonight.
One more thing, about our increased hit totals lately...
Thank you, Nelson.
