On December 19th, 1993, the Bill Parcels coached Patriots beat the Bill Belichick coached Browns 20-17, when Pats RB Leonard Russell plunged in from 4 yards out in the 4th quarter to ice the game and move the Patriots to 3-11 on the season, and 3-14 over their last 17 games. This is the last time the Patriots had a worse record over 17 games than they do right now at 4-13.

10,919 days ago, the average Reddit user wasn’t born. We were only two years into the internet being used in homes, and the first Smart Phone, the Simon Personal Communicator (SPC) was a year away from hitting the market. That is the last time the Patriots were worse than they are today.

The astonishing low of 4-13 over 17 games reached by New England after putting up only 6 points against the Colts in Germany and facing their third consecutive loss, is reaching new territory for that they haven’t seen in 30 years. The chart below shows the entire history of the Patriots on a rolling 17-game basis. The unprecedented success from 2001-2019 with wins hovering between 12-14 regularly is an incredible run, that we are not likely to see again in our lifetimes. Included in this are seven different times where they had a rolling 17-0 record. The steep increase and steep decrease pre- and post-Brady isn’t anything football fans aren’t already aware of anecdotally, but it’s striking to see how this looks visually.

You underestimate the amount of old farts on this sub

My team sucks and pointing it up is a fair game. But making me feel so old is a dick move.

It's Monday morning, it's cold as fuck outside today, Pats are beyond terrible, and now OP is telling me I spend my internet time hanging out arguing with teenagers??? Fuck this...

[–] thejosharms@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah was rude and unnecessary.

I was 4, so I'm not that old right? Right?!?!

Was in college. Patriots started that season 1-11 before winning their last 4 of that season and then going 10-6 in '94. One of those "wins" was by the score of 7-2.

That stretch from '89 to '92 - 5-11, 1-15, 6-10, 2-14 was god awful football...

It's posts like this that make me hate anything to do with:

Anal

JP Morgan Chase

Analyst's

because you made me feel older than a rotary phone in a daycare.

I’m 47, and I vividly remember the 90 Patriots being one of the worst teams ever during my freshman year of high school. They had a real shot at being the first 0-16 team.

Parcells literally owned bill in the 90s.

[–] mdmcnally1213@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You ever see Parcells record without Bill as his DC? 58-68 (.460) and 0-3 in the playoffs. Parcells without Belichick = Belichick without Brady.

[–] Teacat1995@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’m only updooting this because both arguments annoy me and this demonstrates why both are stupid

[–] KamTros47@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hell, Parcells was Bill in the 90s

[–] katastrophyx@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jokes on you. I was 10 years old, wide eyed and naive, and there was no way the Lions and Barry Sanders weren't going to dominate the NFC for the next decade.

Everything's been kinda hazy since then...

[–] TeddysRevenge@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jokes on you

I’m old as dirt

[–] -nukethemoon@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Oooo! I was born! I was born!

Wait

[–] InvaderWeezle@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I suddenly want this for every team in the league now. Stats like these fascinate me

[–] allergic2URbullshit@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ain't the numbers gonna be a little weird because they had 16 game seasons most of the last 20 years?
