When was the last time the Patriots had a regular season losing record?

is it possible it was the Lawyer Milloy hates his coach game against Buffalo?

I was just thinking about this topic earlier today.
The best I can recall is what you already pointed out, 0-1 in '03.

In the belichick era

2000
2001 We started 0-2
2002 we started 2-0 and then lost 4 games in a row
2003 We started 0-1

[bideau]

Going back through the seasons, the closest they came after the 0-1 start in '03 was:

'03 1-1, 2-2
'05 2-2, 3-3, 4-4.
'09 1-1
'10 1-1

Are you skipping 2001 and 2002?

based on the question '03 was the answer because they happened prior to that season

Yes.

The question was when the Pats last had a losing record during the regular season. The answer is 0-1 in '03. I was highlighting the times since then when they've been .500 and in danger of going under.

BTW, in '02, they started 3-0 and then lost the next four.

Ah ha!.....You know I thought 05 would show up, but that year it was more about win one, lose one, win one, lose one.

1970 Boston Patriots sucked pretty bad if any of you remember. I was in the Navy and had to listen to shipmates bullshit.

Next Question:
How did the team react to having a losing record hanging around their necks?

Answer:
The got pretty hacked off about it, rallied around the flag, and ran off 17-1 the rest of the way en route to Lombardi #2 and a 21 game win streak. Not for nothing, but this included the famous mirror image thumping they put on Buffalo to close out the year. Can we all agree that facing Baltimore in the playoffs is a strong possibility?

Side note: That year was just Fuh. King. Awe. Sum. on all counts.
