Dion Lewis Retiring

[ahmed]

One of my favorite Pats players and one I was not happy to see go.

Very underrated. He was awesome here! Shiftiest back I had ever watched.

Since we’re on the topic, that 2015 team very likely could have gone undefeated if not for all the injuries. That team was dominant and he was a big reason for it on offense. I just looked back over their losses from that year and I really don’t see a game they lost that wouldn’t have been a win without the injuries.

Hes been playing like he already retired.

He was unbelievable back in 2015, such a shame he got hurt. It was nice to see him bounce back in 2017 with a really good year but he was never quite the same after the ACL.

I was at that 2015 game in Dallas… holy **** was a run that was!

that was an incredible team before the injuries piled up.

 

[Uptown]

No he isn’t; he’s #42 on the NEP..

Pretty good back, but injuries always seemed to keep him sidelined. Last play from scrimmage in regulation for SB 51, he appeared to hyper extend his knee. I still cringe whenever I watch the replay of that game. I really thought he was done after that. His drive to succeed should help in the next phase of his life. Wish him well.

Would love it if the team would find a way to honor him, he definitely was a fan favorite.

A healthy squad gets the #1 seed and obliterates Denver in the playoffs who I think was overrated.

Lewis was my favorite of the receiving type backs and had the talent to run and catch. However, his body wasn’t built to sustain it.

That would have meant 5 straight SBs too.

That wouldn’t have mattered with a healthy Edelman, Lewis, and Solder in there. With the way Gronk was playing that year, Lewis and Edelman would have been enough to blow that game open.

Yeah I agree…and yet that’s partly what made it so brutal. All those injuries, and they’re still leading 21-7 and getting the ball back midway through 4th quarter; Brock Osweiler on other sideline and the crowd essentially throwing in the towel.

Just close that out and then shut down most of the team, let everyone heal for the next six weeks, get #1 seed and HFA against Denver, who were as psyched out playing at Gillette as Pats were at Invesco.

The split second he muffed that, we all felt the soul of the 2015 season leave us.

Yep...If we had merely one of Edelman or Amendola (or rookie Tyler Lockett instead of Glitch Richards, but I digress), he would've been on the field early in the 4th quarter to receive that punt, not Chris ****ing Harper... We win the game, and later HFA, to be then followed by a date with Cam Newton... in Tom Brady's backyard...

 

[FCB02062]

the offense took a huge hit when Lewis got Hurt vs Washington. the only took alot of the wind out of the offenses sails...

but let's not forget Coach Bill's absolutely insane game plan at Miami and running Stephen Jackson 20 straight effing times...THAT cost the team home field

I’ll never forget that play. He juked out 4 Cowboys with one move.

Was he the original Cat-like Quickness guy?
