1983 -the Patriots started the season in a confident mood having signed Maven Hill from Columbus in an eye-catching deal. However the Patriots started the season slowly, falling badly behind in the rankings. Approaching the half-way point, the Patriots began to bounce back and get back into a play-off place but as the end of the season approached, injuries to key players and a lack of form for others saw the Patriots tail to make the play-offs. This was widely seen as a disaster for the franchise with the G.M promising a wide spread change. Many critics expected that long serving veteran guard Micah "the Machine" Kaminov would be cut at the end of the season.
