Default Congrats to The Defensive Front 7

There were none of the premier three #1's on the DL and no Vrabel. And yes, it looked alot like 2003 and 2004.

Did Belichick force Pees to watch old films or did he just draw up the game plan himself? It was great to see everyone standing until the last second. It was great to see everyone put in a position to do great. And it was great to see a group of OK players look great.

Special kudos go out to Banta-Cain and Wright. They were outstanding! The rest just did their jobs. And to Brace: welcome to the NFL! Brace did fine. He drew double teams and made some rookie mistakes. He wasn't Wilfork, but he was a reasonable NFL NT, whihc is high priase for a rookie in his first significant reps.
=============

And yes, I know it was the Bills. The real monkey on the patriots' back had nothing to do with other teams. It had to do with their own game plans.
=================

And finally, kudos to Moss and Thomas.

I guess the playoffs will settle "who they are". Not to be a pessemist but I think they are better than average against average or bad teams, but don't rise to the challenge at almost all key moments against the teams we'll see in the playoffs. Hopefully new stars will emerge this coming playoffs and new stories will be written.

It did look like the Defense of Years past. Maybe with Wilfork and Warren
out it forced them to find another way. I sure hope it continues!

Yeah I'm not saying their the 3rd best defense in the league or anything but I think they're doing better than what alot of people are giving them credit for.

I was much more suprised (again) with our lack of 2nd half scoring than the D coming up bigger than expected. After the first drive, I thought : yikes - this is gonna be bad. But, they did basically allow Buffalo a drive to start the game and one to finish the game, that's it.

Even Brace was cool, he may have been pushed early - but was being pushed by a minimum of two guys per play !

I'm way more concerned as well with our terrible second half offense. Another down right awful performance, one has to wonder when if ever will it end?

I really liked seeing BB have guys standing up, stunting, he was bringing guys from all over the place.

Thought those guys did a great job. This game was close because the offense was awful in the 2nd half.
