...and if not for Bill running halfway down the sidelines to call time out while Cassell was QB-sneaking his way to a 1st/Goal at the Clots' 5 yard line on a 4th and <1. Very likely a 4-point swing right there...Then deciding to go for a 2-point conversion in the 3RD Feckin Quarter and not make it, which was followed by the Clots making a 2-point conversion on their subsequent TD. Definite 2-point swing there.That "handful" of games was actually 11.
The Pats may well have won in week-9 @IND, if not for a stupid "behavior penalty" by TE David Thomas on their last possession (the Pats lost 15-18)...
10th in Yards Allowed is indeed exceptional for a Belichick defense.And, no, the defense wasn't "exceptional". It ranked 8th in points allowed, 10th in yards allowed and 20th in turnovers generated.
