The team that year though was not that far behind NE. They went 13-3 and that included :
Resting starters week 17 vs Titans
That very odd SD regular season ame where every WR was hurt and manning threw 5 INTs in a quarter and AV missed the chip shot to win it
Blew a 10 point 4th quarter lead to the Pats

Then they let Billy Volek come in as a relief QB and beat them at home in the playoffs.

Freeney being IR’ed and Mathis being hobbled is what did them in in 2007.

I’ll forever maintain if we’d had both of them healthy that that team would’ve beat an NE team that had slowed WAY the fuck down in terms of its offensive firepower from the beginning of the year.
