I had my hands around Eli (Manning) but it&nbsp;didn\u2019t happen so that\u2019s the way it was meant to be,\u201d Green told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt hurt because we went&nbsp;out there and made a lot of plays but it just wasn\u2019t enough. The guys that make the bigger&nbsp;plays at the bigger time, that\u2019s what determines the outcome of the game. Eli made a big&nbsp;play avoiding the sack and Tyree made a big play coming down with it\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-though-the-end-of-the-patriots-2007-season-didn-t-end-perfectly-as-most-people-thought-it-would-their-romp-through-the-regular-season-was-something-that-had-to-be-seen-to-be-believed\">Though the end of the Patriots 2007 season didn\u2019t end \u201cperfectly\u201d as most people thought&nbsp;it would, their romp through the regular season was something that had to be seen to be&nbsp;believed.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-for-the-first-half-of-the-season-the-patriots-averaged-over-41-points-per-game-and-beat-every-opponent-by-at-least-21-points\">For the first half of the season the Patriots averaged over 41 points per game&nbsp;and beat every opponent by at least 21 points.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That eight game stretch not only verified&nbsp;their greatness, but also lent credence to many an undefeated Madden video game&nbsp;season verifying a performance of this magnitude could actually occur in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWeek in&nbsp;week out, it seemed like that,\u201d said Green of the Madden-esque similarities. \u201cIf you think&nbsp;about the <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/sports-video-games\/\">video games<\/a> how one team can be so dominant that\u2019s how it was for us this&nbsp;year. But don\u2019t get it wrong; we had stiff competition, especially in the latter part of the year.&nbsp;It wasn\u2019t a cake walk at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-as-defenses-around-the-league-adjusted-the-second-half-of-the-year-2007-proved-to-be-more-difficult-for-the-patriots\">As defenses around the league adjusted, the second half of the year 2007 proved to be more difficult for the Patriots.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure they beat the hapless Bills by 46 and the Dolphins by three touchdowns but&nbsp;in four victories over the Colts, Eagles, Ravens and Giants the Patriots won by a combined&nbsp;total of only 13 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-19066\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"590\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/2007-patriots-schedule-and-results.png\" alt=\"2007 Patriots Schedule\" class=\"wp-image-19066 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/2007-patriots-schedule-and-results.png\" alt=\"2007 Patriots Schedule\" class=\"wp-image-19066 lazyload\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>2007 Patriots Schedule<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe felt dominant at certain points because of how we were&nbsp;winning some games but there were plenty of games where it wasn\u2019t easy especially in&nbsp;the second half,\u201d said Green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBaltimore, Philadelphia, the Giants in Week 17 all gave us&nbsp;tough games so I mean it never felt like it was easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Patriots were having success as a team, Jarvis Green was also having his best&nbsp;all around season in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fourth round selection out of LSU in the 2002 draft, Green was known for his ability to pressure the quarterback, ranking fourth on the school\u2019s all-time&nbsp;sacks list accumulating 20 in 39 career starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-utilized-as-mostly-a-backup-to-starters-ty-warren-and-richard-seymour-as-a-patriot-green-got-his-most-extensive-playing-time-in-2007\">Utilized as mostly a backup to starters Ty&nbsp;Warren and Richard Seymour as a Patriot, Green got his most extensive&nbsp;playing time in 2007.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Filling in for All-Pro defensive end Seymour who was injured for most of the season, Jarvis Green started 10 games accumulating 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a career high 39 tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green had 7.5 sacks the previous year as a spot pass rusher, but&nbsp;was never relied upon as much as he was in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith Richard\u2019s injury just being on&nbsp;the field more really helped me produce,\u201d said Green. \u201cInstead of getting in there for a play&nbsp;here and a play there it was easier to get into a groove and play every down, rather than&nbsp;just one here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though he has never been a full time starter, Green has been a steady contributor&nbsp;since entering the league and has had a great deal of success, with three Super&nbsp;Bowls in six seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss to the Giants was the first time he\u2019d lost a&nbsp;Super Bowl with wins coming in both 2003 and 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me it was the first one (2003) in Houston,\u201d said Green when asked which victory was&nbsp;more special. \u201cJust that experience going in and not knowing anything and just&nbsp;experiencing it one day at a time for me. By the time I got to the third one (in &#8217;07), you&nbsp;kind of know what to expect. Not the game itself, but what all goes into it aside from the&nbsp;game. It\u2019s a spectacle in a lot of ways. It\u2019s just the culmination of so much\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-once-the-2007-regular-season-ended-the-patriots-became-the-second-team-in-nfl-history-to-complete-a-regular-season-undefeated-and-headed-into-the-playoffs-as-the-odds-on-favorite-to-win-the-super-bowl\">Once the 2007 regular season ended the Patriots became the second team in NFL&nbsp;history to complete a regular season undefeated and headed into the playoffs as the odds&nbsp;on favorite to win the Super Bowl.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, we talked about it,\u201d said Green about the possibility of going 19-0. \u201cAnd at the same&nbsp;time, we never thought we\u2019d actually get thru it all that way and then finally get to Arizona.&nbsp;But we kept on playing well and kept finding ways to win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Patriots ultimately ran out of ways to win in Arizona, thanks in large part to the play&nbsp;dubbed &#8220;David and Eliath\u201d by the New York media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the season over and the&nbsp;team falling just one victory short of undoubtedly the greatest season ever, where do they stack up historically?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-since-the-loss-they-have-faced-as-much-scrutiny-about-where-the-2007-patriots-team-ranks-in-the-annuals-of-history-as-the-organization-has-for-spygate\">Since the loss, they have faced as much scrutiny about where the 2007 Patriots team ranks in the annuals of history as the organization has for \u201cSpygate\u201d.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven though we didn\u2019t win the big game that\u2019s an honor in itself,\u201d said Green. \u201cThe&nbsp;regular season was great for us. We made history, but at the same time everything we did&nbsp;during the season became a wash because we couldn\u2019t win the biggest game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just getting that far and going 18-1 is amazing. Where we stack up in history? I don\u2019t really know but that\u2019s not up to me. It seems like you media types are more worried about that&nbsp;than us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-media-also-has-a-few-other-questions-about-the-2008-season-and-the-patriots-in-general\">The media also has a few other questions about the 2008 season and the Patriots in&nbsp;general:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><i>How will the secondary adapt to losing Randall Gay, Asante Samuel and Eugene Wilson&nbsp;in free agency?<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI mean hey, its football. When guys leave we have to find ways to replace them; it\u2019s that&nbsp;simple. That\u2019s three guys we\u2019re losing that were a big part of the team but guys, whether&nbsp;its coaches or players, are constantly moving around so you just adapt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Is the rivalry with the Jets as serious on the field as the media makes it to be?<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. It\u2019s an inter-divisional rival and there\u2019s a lot to it so that we never want to lose. But&nbsp;Coach Belichick doesn\u2019t focus any more for that week than any of the other games. He&nbsp;wants you to be focused all the time no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Is Bill Belichick the greatest coach of all time considering his success during the Free&nbsp;Agent Era?<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s a great coach and I\u2019m just thankful for the seasons we\u2019ve had. Right now it looks like&nbsp;that, but he could go the next five years and never win another game. So we don\u2019t know&nbsp;that yet. It\u2019s too early to say until we see the final outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Why do many people have such a negative perception of Coach Belichick? Is it Jealousy?<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know man. I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s like that. It\u2019s kind of like the Yankees. When the&nbsp;Yankees are beating everybody I think everybody gets tired of seeing the same people&nbsp;always win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>After the loss in the Super Bowl how does everyone handle it and bounce back?<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just have to comeback and get ready for the offseason. Right now there\u2019s not much to&nbsp;talk about. It just comes down to doing it.
