Dear James,
I agree totally man. He is my thought on this whole '72 Dolphins thing. I think when a team reaches that point. Where everything is clinched and they can go for it or not. At that time as a coach it should be handled as follows. "Men, we have a chance at history. A chance to perfect. A chance for a record. We also have a chance at a super bowl, and going for this record might hurt our chance at that ring." Give the players that type of schpeel, then let THEM vote on it. I think Indy should have done this during the year they lost to the Chargers. Let those guys vote on if they want to give it a shot. I mean, if you DO lose, start sitting everyone, and lets go to the bowl. But give the players the option. Good Answer.
Also to the first answerer, I agree the weather will play a different part than it did for Miami and Indy, but the way this O is going. I think Brady could complete passes if it rained concrete.

barring injury, i think it's a lock. the only issue and what's going to be interesting for the pats is how they play after they clinch all that they can clinch. the afc east, home field throughout, and possibly a undefeated season. will they sit brady et al OR risk their championship hopes to injury for the records that might fall?

It's possible. Manning had a stretch during the middle of the season where he had 24 tds in a 5 week period but Brady is well on his way.

It's hard to tell, considering the way they've been winning. I mean, once the game is in hand, you usually sit your starting quarterback, and bring in the backup. Why have your quarterback out there risking injury just to set a record? Don't get me wrong. He definitely has the potential to do it, but a lot depends on circumstances, such as having clinched the playoffs and home-field, etc.

I'd like to think he can. But you never know when the weather turns nasty in New England. Manning had the dome to continue his onslaught on the passing record. Dan Marino was in Miami before Peyton. As soon as the first snow hits the ground in NE, so will the Patriots running game.

Yes...Brady will break the record barring an injury to him or the receivers...
