Tweet of the Day

Today’s Tweet of the Day comes from Bruce Allen, correcting the narrative that the New England Patriots franchise was irrelevant throughout their history prior to the hiring of Bill Parcells in 1993…

So tired of this crap. The team from '76 – '88 was very relevant, a winning record every year except 1981. In '89 they lost 3 defensive starters for the season in the final preseason game, then had 3 terrible years. They were in a bad state yes. Irrelevant? Only to frontrunners. https://t.co/1LStnktDPO pic.twitter.com/rIRz2cH7tq
