18-1 is probably one of the most embarrassing records to have in football history. It may be thought that winning 18 games and only losing 1 is a good thing, but when that last game is at the super bowl to a wildcard team, it is nothing to brag about.
The patriots went into the super bowl with an 18-0 record. After getting spanked by the giants they went 18-1 and are getting looked down upon than the 49ers.

A term often used by internet nerds to cover up for the fact that their team sucks and would have no chance at all to win anywhere near 18 games.

The New England Patriots had their hopes of completing a perfect season destroyed by losing the one game that counts: The Super Bowl.
Not only that, but they were also caught cheating during the season so even if they went 19-0 it would still always be questioned.

It doesn't matter, nobody cares, so what, meaningless, etc.
In reference to the Patriots 2007 (almost) record setting season.

Synonymous with complete failure despite supreme confidence. In perhaps the biggest upset in Super Bowl history, the NY Giants defeated the heavily favored New England Patriots who entered Super Bowl XLII with a perfect 18-0 record. So sure of themselves, the Patriots filed applications to patent the phrase "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season" more than a week before the game, only to have their collective asses handed to them by the Giants.
