Let's not forget, the Falcons game swung at the end of the half on a red zone turnover, and in a very similar spot, Bodden got the pick today.

Not taking away too much from the D, they've done well enough all things considered, but BB always talks about games coming down to just a handful of plays, and I can't help but think in the Atlanta & Baltimore games, the Pats D came up huge in these spots and really helped to swing the game.

Granted a whole half of game was played regardless of these TOs, but certainly these two single plays have helped to shape the start of the Pats season. (This is both good & bad ...)

Just a reminder of what a fine line it is when you trot out the bend-but-don't-break D ....

I dunno, but I do know that they're a couple of red zone brain farts away from being a comfortable 4-0.

Never understood this logic, every team that has had close games is a few somethings away from having a losing record. I must have missed the part where forcing turnovers isn't a legitimate part of football.

We could be 4-0, we could be 0-4 too (Falcons game could have turned out alot different without Turner's fumble and some penalties on ATL's 3rd quarter drive).

But yeah right now I think we are pretty fortunate to be 3-1. One game at a time let's just do our best to keep winning.

Honestly, your post seems idiotic and my guess is you're not an idiot. I'll ask you this one: Are the Pats one pass from Brady to Edelman for a TD against the Jets from being 4-0? Come on...bring more than that BS to the table. Is your name Gary Tanguay (aka Chief Dark Coud)?

Why?
I just don't get it.

Wow, sorry, my thread wasn't mean to be a glass-half-full-this-D-really-sucks type of thing. Don't think I expressed myself well.

I was more pointing out how fine a line it is from winning and losing in the NFL, and had the Pats not come up with two crucial turnovers when the opposing offenses was driving down the field, they very well could be 1-3.

Again, I'm happy with how the Mayo-less team is playing, I'm just interested in examining how a 60-minute game can really come down to 4-5 plays.
