Pats and 91
 

Anyone notice the black 91 on the back of the Pats' helmets yesterday? Who were they honoring? Don't think I saw the number prior to today's game and I'm going to assume this wasn't a simple motivational stunt for the game. W/r to our 21, seeing his number during today's divisional came made me wonder again what could have been.

Naw, it's been there since day one. Nothing to do with Taylor. One of their guys passed during training camp in swimming accident.

The only one on the Pats team to wear both numbers is Wilfork who was good friends with Sean, and was teammates with him at the University of Miami. I thought it was classy of him to keep Sean's number on and wish the entire team had. :)

I noticed that too

This is in honor of their fallen teammate, the late Marquise Hill who died last year in a jet skiing accident.

Re: Pats and 91
 

Were the Pats the only team that no longer had the 21 sticker on their helmets? I thought I saw it on every else's in the playoffs over the last 2 weeks.

Re: Pats and 91
 

There are a few threads on this already, but the gist is that (aside from the Bills' week, where everyone wore it) it is up to each team to decide whether to wear it. Players can also decide to wear it if the team is not.

Only a few Chargers wore it, including LT. The Colts didn't. I think I saw a few Jags with it on. I think it's pretty classy of both NYG and DAL to have the entire team still wearing #21. A nice gesture from our division. The entire Eagles team wore it until the end of the season as well.

Thanks, that's what I thought I had heard, but it seemed to me that all the teams were still wearing it...I just noticed that most of the Pats didn't have it anymore.

Re: Pats and 91
 

I think they only wore it the week that it is required. It's consistent with their philosophy - if you're one of us, you're OK, if not, then screw you. I don't begrudge them keeping #91 on their helmets (or not wearing #21). I'm just not surprised in the slightest.

Re: Pats and 91
 

haven't we seen this thread like 5 times already...........

Re: Pats and 91
 

SC Skins/Redskin,

Tried the search function before posting thread, but didn't get any hits. Tried a number of different search terms including "91" and it didn't pull up anything. Don't assume people don't search first or that the search function is a panacea.

The 'lock thread' button on the site is almost worn out

SmootSmack,

I used "pats", "helmet" and boolean operators. Don't know why I didn't find it yesterday. I found two threads just now on page 1/7 of the search. I promise I looked before. I also searched yesterday for responses to all my posts. Some of the responses/corresponding threads that I received yesterday didn't show up until today when I looked. I think the Gremlins are after me and I bruise easily. Help it can't be the operator!

It's not a big deal really.

Boolean operators? Damn, you don't play around.

Anyhow, no worries. Next time try "sticker"

I appreciate the feedback. I really don't want to pollute the site. I'm still trying to get the hang of everything. I'll e-mail any further questions on the inner-workings. Thanks.

Respectfully,
