Why
Well it’s not because the Patriots have started 1-3 after all they started 1-3 last year as well so he might chuckle slightly over the lack of improvement I suspect the big laugh comes from this:
Last season after 4 games the Patriots offense Under Matt Patrica & Joe Judge scored 74 points after 4 games (67 on offense) and would score 29 (22 on offense) in game five (W vs Detriot) and 38 in week six (all of offense) vs Cleveland.
This season the new and improved offense minus Matt Patrica under Bill O’Brien has scored 55 points in 4 games (53 on offense).
In short the Matt Patrica offense put up an avg of 16 3/4 points per game after 4 games and would average 17.8 after 5 games.
The Bill O’Brien offense has after four games put up an average of 13 1/4 points per game and to get up to Patrica’s avg after game five will have to up up 36 points next week.
Given this team has yet to break 20 points in a game so far that will be a neat trick.
Now of course it is only week four and it might be that Bill O’Brian & the offense will have their “eureka!” moment in the near future making everything change.
But if that doesn’t happen a whole lot of New Englanders (particularly on the radio) owe Matt a big apology.
