New England Patriots 1993 Highlights

Review of the Pats' 1993 5-11 season, the first under Bill Parcells and the rookie season of QB Drew Bledsoe.

[@tombrady7039]

the turning point of this franchise began this season

[@charliepastrami2813]

I agree, ....even though Belichick was coaching the browns at the time....But I was just saying before I read your comment that this season definatly was the turning point of the franchise 👍

[@Fireyninjadog]

New logo, New uniforms, New owner, New coach, New qb

[@100chuckjones]

I think we can trace back the origins of a lot of the the patriots championships to Robert Kraft. I was at games in 1993 (had season tickets). They were ready to sell the patriots to St. Louis. A place the LA Rams would move to a year or two later. Kraft changed the whole narrative in NE. Betting the house on Belichick (trading those draft picks) was head scratcher to me at the time. But then again, I didn't think Brady was goat after his first season, even after winning their first SB. But after 5 years, i could tell this guy is unhuman.

[@Fireyninjadog]

​@chuck jones Kraft bought foxboro Stadium in 1988 and wouldn't let the Pats leave New england. He bought the team in 1994, pats have had just 3 losing seasons with kraft as owner

[@rootsmanuva82]

I predict that the 1994 Patriots will make the playoffs. I know the Pats haven't made the playoffs in 7 years but there's something special about this team.

[@PrinceRawD]

Lol

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

Well the 1993 Patriots were 5-11 but won the last 4 games. So that’s a good sign they’re on the right track.

[@valeriethornblade9466]

They'll probably be in the Superbowl in a year or two.

[@STP43FAN1]

I dunno, this guy Parcells wants to just run the ball. The game I think it becoming where it’s throwing that wins.

[@Fireyninjadog]

They lost 11 games, but they played like a 10-6 team in every game. They only got blown out twice that year. They were just unlucky

[@Grandizer8989]

RIP Kevin Turner. You were a beast at Alabama and in the NFL

[@Davidjon1946]

Fucking shame what als does to people i don't wish that on my worst enemy

[@chadwickwhite6107]

Without Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick and the Patriots would be NOTHING. Belichick and Robert Kraft OWE their LIVES to Bill Parcells.

[@mrtnt3462]

YOU SIR, ARE THE MAN!!!

[@jhanbury1968]

What Vince Lombardi did for the Redskins in 1969, Parcells did for the Patriots in the 90s.

[@Fireyninjadog]

​@@jhanbury1968parcells drafted drew bledsoe, Chris slade, willie mcguinest, Curtis martin, lawyer milloy, Adam vinetari, and teddy bruschi

[@Paul8820]

From 1993-2020 the Partiots have had only three different starting QB and only three Head Coaches.

[@hockeycool321]

Matt Cassell obviously being the best of the three. #GOAT

That is clearly false haha...you forgot about Jimmy Garappolo and Jacoby Brissett

[@anthonyhutchins2300]

Isn't that amazing... One moment we thought our team was gone and then boom... Kraft comes in and makes the team the greatest dynasty in professional sports.

RIP Kevin Turner, a great contributor on Parcells' Patriots. Had the winning TD reception on Bledsoe's 70th throw in one of the team's all-time great comebacks in OT vs. the Vikings in '94.

[@jhanbury1968]

Reminds me of how Vince Lombardi turned the Redskins around in 1969. He pointed them in a winning direction.

[@100chuckjones]

@17:42 I was at this game (-21 degrees). It was the coldest I'd ever been in my life. The Beer was solidifying in the paper cups. It would freeze the water out of the beer and you would literally be drinking straight alcohol. But was an amazing game and it was the beginning of a change in what would become this team as a dynasty.

[@100chuckjones]

While at this game, I looked up into the press boxes and guess who was there ? Johnny Unitas.

[@MGAF688]

Drew Bledsoe's career has been maligned by the fact Tom Brady 'took his job'. However, from 1993-00, Bledsoe was on an arc akin to Dan Marino. He was a prolific passer. His passing yards, attempts and completion totals in several seasons were very gaudy and/or led the league. His teams were competitive for the playoffs many times. Brady rightfully took his job. But Bledsoe was one of the best QBs in the NFL during the 1990s and might have been a HOF-level QB but for Brady. But NE probably does not win SBs with Bledsoe. Hard to imagine Bledsoe doing what Brady did.

[@albertoramirez5977]

Luke Enno Bledsoe was a hell of a qb

[@Odawg96]

I'll say this about Bledsoe: he was a lot of fun to watch. He was incredibly good when he was ON or incredibly bad when he was OFF. It was one extreme or the other. He was one of the premiere passers of the 90s, and I had pencilled him in has a Hall of Famer. Today, though, you've got a whole generation of Patriots who don't know or respect Bledsoe's place in team history. They damn sure wouldn't know about a guy like Hugh Millen.

[@scottaznavourian5791]

The only comparison u can make with bledsoe to marino is his postseason failures. Drew never even had a season where he thru more then 28 td passes...never even had a rushing td for his first 7 and a half seasons

[@Odawg96]

@@scottaznavourian5791 I wouldn't compare the two of them outright. Different styles of offenses. Bledsoe never really had his own set of Marx Bros. By the same token, Marino never had his own Ben Coates or Curtis Martin, for that matter. They both threw tons of passes and were both adept at spreading the ball around. I would say the reason Bledsoe didn't have numbers quite as big as early Marino was because Bledsoe actually had a legitimate running threat in Curtis Martin. Tony Nathan was good, but his specialty was catching passes outta the backfield(like Terry Kirby, Keith Byars, and the other guys who came later). I don't think Marino had a thousand-yard back until his twilight years. That makes all the difference in the world.

[@scottaznavourian5791]

@@Odawg96 i think what drew did for the patriots was great..he saved it....but if we're being real hes probably not even the second best qb in patriot history (brady then grogan)

[@Dirtnation2]

Great home jerseys on the Pats

[@nickj3513]

Dirtnation you're right!!!! Now should they bring them back??!!

[@Davidjon1946]

They went to a whole new logo and design in 1993 and then each year slightly doctored it up to what New England wears to this very day

Those blues with red numbers look better with time.

[@albertoramirez5977]

Michael Daly yea they are really nice. I think they had that style for one season

[@jeancarlovega6310]

so true

[@teddyjun1]

They had that style for 2 seasons. Changed that style into Super Bowl 31 jersey in 1995.

[@Odawg96]

I don't know. I was actually happy to see them drop the red numbers on the blue jersey. It looked too much like something outta the USFL. However, I will say that uniform did drive them into a whole new era.

[@thecommish1976]

They looked nice from up close, but from a distance it was very difficult for the announcers to spot them.

[@richardkolenda298]

30 years ago today was December 26, 1993. Gametime at Foxboro was -21 windchill!! They stomped the Colts 38-0. My dad and I had season tickets for years, but it was a day to visit friends post Christmas. We went to an old bar called the Lightship in Lawrence MA to watch the game. It was, to this day, the last non-sellout at home, and the 2nd last locally-blackout game. A great memory!! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@mrtnt3462]

If the PAT-RIOTS kept anything from this uniform it's those pant stripes those were cool!

[@Davidjon1946]

Say what you will about Drew Bledsoe but him being drafted by New England turn this franchise around to what they are today he took them to the Superbowl in 1996 then was injured in 2001 losing his job and beginning the greatness to the best quarterback to ever play the game that being Tom Brady. I was so happy when my Buffalo Bills signed Drew Bledsoe we had no leadership at the quarterback position since Jim Kelly retired Drew Bledsoe came into Buffalo and made this team exciting again yes we did make the playoffs but man did Drew have an awesome first season in Buffalo

Good lesson for Mayo. How to build a good team. This is how Bill belichick learned.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

New England closed that season with 4 consecutive wins…. And it easily could have been 5 straight (Pittsburgh stopped them inside the 1 yard line when the Pats down by 3 went for the win rather than OT)

[@anthonyhutchins2300]

Thank God they changed those jerseys really quick lol. Those red numbers with the white shoulder numbers were ugly af.

[@nickj3513]

O no I love those red numbers!!!!They should have kept them or bring them back!!!!

[@mrtnt3462]

You don't know what you're talking about, those were unique jerseys' red numbers on chest/back wite on the shoulder [cool] if you notice [4:50] when they were wet they looked darker and better!
