Ladies and gentlemen, I submit for your respectful consideration the possibility that the Pats' avoidance this year of the injury bug may not be coincidence.
It happens that we're having our first relatively injury-light year in recent memory, during the first year on FieldTurf instead of mud. So far so good, and far be it from me to jinx anything.
But what if there is a causal relationship?
The teams from 01-04 won 3 out of 4 Super Bowls while absolutely depleted by injuries.
Fast forward... 07 is a special year for many reasons, and we may never look upon its likes again.
But it seems to me there is reason to believe we will see relatively healthy teams late into the season more often.
Oh, and we're not built to be "small, fast, and swarming..." so there's another possibility shot to sh**.
Okay, just wanted to share my latest quasitriumphalist observation before going to work and getting my ego squashed
