This past Sunday, the New England Patriots took an L in the loss column for the second straight week. The last time that happened, Wes Welker was one of the top receivers in the league, and a star player for the Patriots named Aaron Hernandez helped make up a dangerous two-headed tight end monster for the that every team in the league feared.
After this loss years ago (and after any loss the Patriots have where they look terrible, or have lost multiple in a row), many people started to wonder if the Pats might not make the playoffs or if it was time for fans to panic about the rest of the season.
