this has been on my mind for a long while
i don't have any proof of this, because its been amassed throughout the last couple of years (actually much longer, but highlighted the last few years)
I have often heard BB say after a loss, that the team had a bad practice week, this is not a one or two time thing, the instances that pop to my mind are the Giants loss in 07 and the ravens loss last year
other times, when we destroy a team, i have heard BB say that the team had an excellent practice each day of the week
im starting to think this is NOT coincidence, but why would a practice dictate game outcomes THAT much? I do not understand how the practice supercedes playcalling, and even execution.....or is execution simply better when the practice is well?
either way, i believe we can determine if the Patriots win or lose by how well BB thinks their practices went before the game, and I think that correlation would be very large
