Belichick: Defensive woes mostly correctable - Extra Points - Boston.com

Oh no, now most kool-aid drinkers are going to have a sigh of relieve and start preaching "In Bill we trust".

Sorry Bill, for most of us, your tricks won't work anymore. As you say Bill, "It is what it is", and the defense just isn't very good.

Here is a SCARY thought....

The Saints only had 50 offensive plays last night.....thats right,ONLY 50 offensive plays....kind of tells the nature of our defense against high powered passing teams.

Last time I heard that was in 2002 when the run defense was a sive and BB said that there was a combination of technique and alignment issues that are easy to fix.

So when is BB hiring Karl Rove to spin this one?

It's the defense they've got and the one they'll have to finish the season with. The fairweather among us have the luxury to not watch any more games, but Belichick isn't going to tune out, he has to keep working to make the team better. And I'll keep watching in the hopes of seeing some improvement.

OK, let's fire Belichick. After all, most of us think his tricks won't work. When a coach's "tricks" don't work, it's time to show him the door.

True, albeit minus Malloy and plus Harrison and a couple of draft picks.

A young defense coming off a fun outing against the hated JETS broke ranks and bit on sells and blew coverage. That happens with young defenses.
