more painful number crunching to state something unintentionally funny..i think funniest is the statements ¨has patriots fans concerned" like he knows all of them

i actually think history favors us...last time we had a losing preseason we won the SB

He's a former Bills and 'Phins writer. No wonder he comes across as a bit bitter.

First team to go 16-0, first team to "overcome" this.

How many trends do the Pats have to bust before people ignore them? If you listen to the experts and statisticians, many of the thing the Pats accomplished during the Belichick area were impossible based on historical data.

Did they study the trend of all the teams that went O-fer that rested their franchise Qb the entire preseason?

espn is full of bull................ what do they have to say about the LIONS this year 4-0 in the preseason..............pats had so many of their starters missing for almost whole of the preseason, so why does the bunch of players who never played in the preseason but will play in all of regular/post-season/superbowl get rated based on what the others did in the preseason.......
Brady said it best ESPN IS LIKE MTV ...............

What an amazing "numbers cruncher" Tim Graham is.

I'm amazed he stopped there with his in depth analysis.

Had he looked further he'd have discovered the Patriots, just by being in existence, have the deck stacked against them.

If my math is right, the Patriots fail to win the Super Bowl 93% of the time in years ending in numbers.

Its true - you can go to TwoMinuteWarning.com and confirm it if you don't believe me.

Last 0-4 preseason team to win the Super Bowl was the Washington Redskins in 1982

Take that for what its worth - Its been a LONG time since it happened

Deus Irae

How long had it been between 16-0 regular seasons?

So more often than not, the teams that go 0-fer in the preseason finish 8-8 or better? That's great, it shows that if the Patriots' second string quarterback and half the offensive starters had to play the whole sixteen game schedule, they'd have better odds that they finish .500 or better (based on historical precedent).

Yes, doomed, I say. Doomed.
