Forget the second guessing about the 49 yard field goal that the Patriots didn’t attempt. Forget questions about Brady’s foot. Forget the number of times Brady was sacked or hurried. Forget the jinx of Mayor Menino’s public plans for a victory parade. Forget the way it was supposed to end. Because it didn’t happen. It just didn’t happen. A catch here, an interception a the right moment and this game caps the perfect season. But no.

It takes a special team to be able to sustain momentum for an entire season. The Patriots were almost that team. Very almost. It will now be hard to categorize this Patriots’ season. All the records, all those regular season wins, all that… history. But lacking the one thing that matters the most in any competitive sport, that victory at the end.

So, congratulations to the New York Giants. And here’s hoping the Patriots lose the first game next year instead of the last.
