reminds me of a Bill Simmons column..
I was thinking more like Bill James!

that is something John Madden would say on a serious note, though
Fair point, but for the playoff teams they're now facing this game is also their season, as it is for the Pats, so I'm not quite sure if the analogy still applies. Either way, I suspect the remaining game(s) will be closer than most folks on this board believe. For this one upcoming, I think a lot of it may hinge on the health of Big John Henderson--anyone have any updates on that?
...and when that fails, don't forget the refs' hankies against Jax late in the 4th. You heard it here first....

In games where either Matt Gutierrez or Matt Cassel (or both) plays the Patriots outscore their opponents by an average of 30.2 points, however in games where neither of them play the Patriots outscore opponents by a mere 13.4 points.
I guess that guy who voted for Favre got it right, Brady is a drain on the team.
LMFAO. Brilliant parody!Since this was a bye week, I had some time on my hands, so I was poking around the official team stats for the Pats, and found a couple of interesting stats about some players that I hadn't seen anywhere else, so I though I would share them with you. I don't claim to be as thorough or knowledgeable as some other posters in here, so feel free to fact-check this but:
In games where Welker has more than 50 yds receiving in a game, the Pats are 10-0. When he has less than 50 yds in a game, they are only 5-0.
In games where Rodney Harrison played, the Pats are 12-0. Kind of shows you his value, eh? Likewise, when Seymour started a game, the Pats were 8-0, but when he didn't start, they were 8-0. Go figure.
When Kelly Washington blocks a put, the Pats have yet to lose.
Heath Evans has 2 or more carries in eight games this season, and each time the Pats have won.
When Vrabel has at least one sack and 5 or more tackles (solo and asstd combined) the Pats are 5-0. In games where he has a sack, without reference to tackles, the team is 7-0 (8-0 including preseason ). But, and here is where it gets confusing for me a bit, in games where Vrabel doesn't have a sack, they are undefeated.
Crazy, huh?:rocker:
I took the time to chart one of these statistics. Hope it makes things less confusing.

In weeks during this season that Mercury Morris has sounded like a moron, the Pats are undefeated. On the weeks that Morris has sounded rational, the Pats are unplayed.
