truth on hold Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Already a thread covering both Ridley and Mayo out for the season. while I was starting this thread, the title of the other changed to include Mayo anyway, loss of Mayo deserve its own thread (lot more important to them than Ridley). Good article from Boston.com on his significance: Mayo’s loss in 2013, coupled by season-ending ailments to Wilfork and eventually Tommy Kelly, resulted in a putrid defensive performance. In the Pats’ first five games last year, the club allowed 14 points per game. Over the following 13 games – including two in the postseason – that number skyrocketed to 24.3. The opposition’s red zone efficiency jumped from 35.7 percent to 57.8. In the end, New England finished 26th in the NFL in yards allowed per game (373.1) and 10th in points-against (21.1) during the regular season. Looking back one year, this is the point where everything fell apart. http://www.boston.co...ng_patriots.htm Edited October 13, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
SJDK Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) hoping for the best.. for US! this is the time of the year for us when WE usually drop 4 or 5 winable games a lot of times in a row. I hope New England does that and with our "easy" schedule ahead of us we post more wins than New England straight up so that we don't need week 17 in NE to make the playoffs.
